I AM SEARCHING FOR FRIENDS FROM FORMER ARMY: I have a wish to see my Sarajlija Hajrudin and Mariborac Milan. This is how they look like (PHOTO)

- We could not even dream about Yugoslavia falling apart and war erupting, especially because we all came from different sides and we were all like one - told us Milan

Milan Zivanovic (61) from Krupanj, served his military service in far 1973 in Ajdovscini on south west of Slovenia, and after Telegraf published the story about the friendships dating from JNA (Yugoslav People's Army), this pensioner contacted us with the wish to come in contact with his friends from military days Hajrudin Delimustafic from Sarajevo and Milan Bajce from Maribor.

- There is no hatred in simple people! - We could not even dream about Yugoslavia falling apart and war erupting, especially because we all came from different sides and we were all like one. After 43 years since serving the military, i would like to find Bosnian Hajrudin, who was a soldier like me, and driver Milan from Slovenia. It would be nice if i heard from them, saw them, to see if they have family and if they succeeded in life! - explained and added that they lived through everything during their 15 months of training - friendship, helping, unity...

In order for his friends to recognize him more easily, he points out at the end that they were March class, they called him Krupanjac or Zivcanovic, he was not even 20 when he arrived and his job was to secure the barracks, to be a guard or a younger soldier.

- It is hard to explain the memories to younger generations that never experienced military or lived in former Yugoslavia - concluded Milan, who currently lives in Lestane.
