"Today I received a message on Facebook ... Two elderly people (husband and wife) looking for a friend they studied with in Sarajevo decades ago. She lived in the Bosnian town that was one of the hotbeds of the armed conflicts of the 90s. An extremely polite and seemingly very educated man, a Muslim.
God, I think, where did they find me, of all people with the same surname (and as a friend they are looking for) ... Of course, not because he is a Muslim, but because I am much younger than the date and year that is mentioned in the message. Yet I decided to inquire, and soon find out that the friend they are looking for died a few years ago.
So I answer the man, a rather lengthy response, with details of her life before and after the war. About how she fled with her family to Serbia, where she died ... I'm thinking ... Today was the first time in my life that I informed someone that someone dear to them died. Today, twenty years after the "end" of the war. And today, with more than twenty years of age myself, as a person who was born and raised in a city where we are all lucky to be alive, I can not help feeling, and I can not help but wonder, how many such friendships the war tore apart... Why?

These days everyone is buzzing about the celebration of the "Operation Storm". They invite us to trumpet. So I trumpet. After twenty years. I TRUMPET, as someone who is young, to pay tribute to all the victims of war, because they were on all sides, and no one can deny, no matter how hard you try. And I TRUMPET, as someone who is young, to love your friends every day, no matter what religion they are, because it may be too late if you look for them twenty years later. Today, one friendship ended. Today, I "killed" someone very dear to someone. And again ... Why? For a war that longer lasts?"
