For 1, 300 days of Sarajevo's drama, important people in the world who were supposed to act kept their eyes closed, ... But not you. You were not silent. Your voice was clear.

About This Quote

During the all the horrors of the war in Bosnia, there were people who were supposed to speak out about what was happening. But, for one thousand days there was only silence. No one was talking about what was happening in Bosnia. And then, on April 6th, 1995, there were gunshots at the airport that told the world that all of this horror was not just happening in Bosnia.

There were no more excuses. You spoke up. Your voice was clear.
