Contents Summary
This broadcast focuses on the fighting between Muslims and Croats in the city of Mostar, one of the most devastated cities in the former Yugoslavia, according to BBC reporter Jeremy Bowen. The footage features historic parts of the city in total destruction, injured and dying civilians, including children, and citizens forced from their homes. Many injured Muslims from Eastern Mostar are shown, as well as Croatian prisoners incarcerated there. Soldiers from both sides are interviewed. The report concentrates on Mostar's pre-war beauty, and how it has become one of the most devastated and desperate regions in the Bosnian conflict.
