Contents Summary
This broadcast focuses on problems and dilemmas faced by Sarajevo as a besieged city. The report shows empty grocery stores and how the general infrastructure has collapsed. Interviewed is also Bozidar Matic, president of Energoinvest, the largest Bosnian company. He talks about the general disbelief that US/EU mediation between the three parties [Serbs, Croats, and Muslims] will bring about any solutions. Ejup Ganic, member of the Bosnian parliament., states that under the leadership of Milosevic, Serbia has managed to destroy the dream of Yugoslav unity by wanting too much control. Other footage includes: Bosnian soldiers trying to recapture a building in Sarajevo, pictures of Sarajevo's old town [Bascarsija], refugees cramped into a school watched by Bosnian forces, people waiting in line to get food supplies, empty Sarajevo grocery stores, and Energoinvest.
