Out of the Rubble

MOSTAR—Stari Most, the picturesque old bridge built by the Turkish Ottomans centuries ago, is all that now stands in this medieval Hercegovin city a hundred miles southwest of Sarajevo. Last April, this polyglot republic of Serbs, Muslims, and Croats declared its independence from a federal Yugoslavia already truncated by the departures of Slovenia and Croatia. The penalty has been high, as Serbia, the largest republic and a bastion of new-world-order bolshevism, unleashed the fury of the Yugoslav Army against unarmed civilians in an effort to create an atavistic “Greater Serbia.”

In a suburb of Mostar, a mass grave was unearthed after Serbian ground forces were repelled. “I cannot believe that the world is just watching what is happening to us,” says Robert Pehar, in charge of documenting the atrocities. “How much more of this is needed before the world will finally act?”
