Contents Summary
This report focuses on the story of Rada Kovacevic, a Bosnian Serb refugee living in London. Her husband, Zoran, and she, both Serbs, were childhood sweethearts from the same village. They were married at age 18. Rada's husband and children were murdered. The murder was allegedly committed by the Muslim "black shirts" from the neighboring village. Rada could no longer stay in Bosnia and fled to London, hoping she'd be able to meet with her brother in New York, but could not get a visa to go to the U.S. Rada reflects on her life as hopeless because her husband and children were murdered.
