Ready sarajevo, city of love, arts and music. But on the banks of the many at sky river, the lifeline of Bosnia Herzegovina history has also been carved in the heart of the balkans. This place has given birth to civilizations and peoples on witnessed was that of shaped europe. But this historic city where races, religions, and ethnicities have molded together was torn apart in 1992 by a bloody wall. It lasted for 3 and a half years and took the lives of thousands of Bosnian Muslims, serbs, and croats. This distinctive yellow building on the front line, so the siege and bloodshed close up, but also became a fortress for the worlds media. This is the story of sorry, a bos infamous war hotel. The holiday inn should ah, in 1982 sorry eva was preparing to host the 14th winter olympic games. 2 years later, the holiday inn designated for v i. Peas and senior Olympic Committee figures was under construction before the hotel was built, the land was called circus plats because visiting circuses used to set up that Kenneth Morrison is a professor of modern history at lest, as du Monfort University in the u. K. Hes written full books on the balkans, including one about, sorry, a vote. Landmark holiday in the design of the building was quite controversial. It was designed by this sod, eva architect at events that i was whose buildings you can find all over the city. The skill model, the original skill model of the hotel was and was built in yellow, was constructed of yellow plastic. But when the builders were working on the building actually started to construct the facade and they saw that the facade was actually yellow, a events that are said that they, it came as quite a shock. They didnt expect the building itself actually to be yellow, bosnian architect, even straus came up with a new hotel concept, which he cooled. A city in a hotel which you have no need to leave. Floors and corridors which opened into a spacious lobby, giving the illusion of greater size the holiday inns. Grand opening was on the 6th of october, 1983 with the president of the international Olympic Committee. One antonio summer ranch in attendance. One of the few people whos worked at the hotel since the start is high row of shannon. Hes now the hotels executive director dampness. Olympics k get a very small sentence, fietta santabonyas below that below deal hotel voice. Beautiful momento, skepticism, nebulous niga. Theyre not to, if theyre not, she, as i said more nauseum. Knowledge my favorite was sunday, shut the snip. All bobo liz deck worked as a translator for foreign media and hes very familiar with the holiday inn. She and Kenneth Morrison visited the hotel while he was working on his new book about the reporting of the siege of sarajevo. For me, the hot hardin was always um, very important. First for the olympic games, i was a really young girl who worked ah, for down for the guests house translator and hotel. And. And in fact, for the 1st time when i get to the hot a holiday and was during de olympic game, so go go the uh best physical golf, the euphoria, the sorry eva Winter Olympics was short, lived tito as a general and not a man years if browse tito had led the socialist federal republic of yugoslavia since 1944. His death in 1980 left a political vacuum, a worsening economic crisis, and led to a wave of nationalism. In the early 19 ninetys, serbia croatia, slovenia, Bosnia Herzegovina, montenegro of macedonia, pulled themselves violently apart. After the 1990 elections in Bosnia Herzegovina, free main nationalists parties shed power. The muslim as da, led by aaliyah is a bakovich, the serv, sds, on the rather van carriage and a branch of fran you, trojans, croatian h, d said the s d a n h d zed wanted independence. While the serve as d. S. Wanted to remain in the rump of yugoslavia along with serbia and montenegro. So the relationships between these 3 parties soon deteriorated dramatically. On the 29th of february, 1992, a bosnian independence referendum was held. The muslims, known as bosnia acts, and the croatians took a full part of it, but the Bosnian Serbs largely boycotted the vote and rejected the yes result. On the 1st of march, the same day a serb Wedding Party was sporting the serbian flag and downtown san diego when it was fired on by a Bosnian Muslim gangster killing the grooms father. The serb family made for the holiday inn where a number of rooms had become the temporary h q of the bosnian serb leader rather than carriage the bloody wedding episode may have offered the Bosnian Serbs the opportunity theyd been waiting for. That same night, they began implementing what was effectively a dress rehearsal for the siege of sarajevo. Barricades appeared and armed, masked men stalked the streets from his ha, but the holiday inn read of an carriage over saw the action. This room room 53 of the suite was also used by rather than cottage, the leader of the Serbian Democratic party arrest. Yes, he lived here with his family in this sweet cottage, his wife and his 2 children. And they stayed here until the shootings on the 6th of april, at 1992, where after carriage escaped from the hotel with his family. By monday, the 6th of april, a large but peaceful protest for bosnian unity had made its way from the parliament towards the holiday inn and carriages base there. But snipers on the upper floors open fire was the gentlest sammy, courage was near by when the shooting started. I remember when the shots came from the holiday and actually we heard cracks. We heard some noise. And then we, so people, you know, falling down, started to running everywhere, you know, hiding behind trees and some small billings and everything like that is quite severely. Hotel was gernado and i are proud sol, phenomenal. So what sally . I wanted to show him our garage and my oak jenny is spelled r m n up for to switch it to rod. If toys swati was run, sick civilians were killed on that 1st day of the siege. Carriage its, shes gods and family escaped from the hotel, the Boston Police arrested sub snipers in the lobby of the holiday inn, which then remain closed for several months. From here, the 3 and a half year war erupted and spread across all of Bosnia Herzegovina. In april and may 1992 dozens of journalists had arrived in sarajevo among the experienced mountain bell from the b. B. C. Be here tomorrow. Negotiating from this very hotel. I dont see that he and his crew 1st stayed here at the hotel bosner in elijah, near the apple. Martin bel lives in north london. He left the bbc in 1997 to become a member of parliament, and is now a unicef ambassador. But to those who knew him in bosnia, hell always be the man in the white suit. We arrived in a great rush because the war had already broken out. And frankly, we were a day late. We drove in from belgrade, and the obvious place stopping place was our job bozza in elijah ah, the 1st major battle of the war took place on the 22nd of april 1992 in and around the hotel, boston. Between the Bosnian Serbs and yugoslav, army on one side and the emerging Bosnian Muslim armed groups on the other. It lasted for 10 days. One camera man was wounded. Another tv, cruise rooms were hit by snipers, and Shelley Martin bell and his crew were trapped inside the hotel with other journalists, his guests and staff. These red pitches shot by the bbcs, eric pal, show bell and the crew doing a live link with london. With may have going on around here. So we were on the balcony of the hotel boston, and while we were there, a huge battle erupted all around us as they have done in the past, excuse me. But it is, it is difficult to see that working at the moment because it is not as you can hear around me, the real thought is, is, you know, sometimes things happen and i felt the air above my head something was happening to it. A bullish whistle by and im an suck. They are out of it and it hit the wall behind me. If youll excuse me, i just want to break off because weve had somebody i dont want him to enter the criteria. Under that point, i turned to the camera man, i said look, lets get the hell out of here for our own safety. And we just closed down and went inside. And that was the last time you did alive to way in a public space in bosnia, for the whole of the more ah, on the 15th of may, 1992 martin bell and all the other journalists left the hotel, boston, and set up the new base of the holiday in the summer of 1992, the serbs were tightening the new surround sarajevo, the shedding and like this where relentless and indiscriminate the holiday inn had become the permanent home for hundreds of correspondence, photographers and crews among them was pull low and a bosnian journalist, armina abbot judge, who had become his wife after the war. Hiero rove shannon welcomed his old friends back to the holiday inn. I think maybe the holy and became the war hotel in, sorry, but because of a kind of accident, but also by design. Because of its unique location, the sense of the city almost like this kind of fortress that you could look out from old sides on to the rest of the terrain. Somehow or other were not been ever quite sure why the hotel managed to keep the supplies of food coming in and it managed to keep itself relative. You cypher was sheldon shot out on occasion. But in general, it was seen as this kind of safe haven in the central pacific. How hotel was a very strange place, i remember, and i came here for the 1st on it. It was just amazing. Never all this journalist there was they were in a lot of them are experienced. It was like a little town in itself. By the time i came back, which was about the 2nd week in june, the holiday inn was more or less put together, but i stayed and a flat which actually had a better view on the holiday and of the nightly pyrotechnics of the fighting hotel. Ah. But i felt i needed to be closer to the gossip of the prescott. So i also took a room and the newly reopened holiday and followed by the 22nd of june. And thats how i 1st came to live there. And i loved the people of sarajevo. Consider the 22nd of july, 1992, the fiercest and Bloodiest Day of the siege. More than 3500 shells were fired across the city. That day, most pictures and video of the bombardment of the city were filmed from the holiday inn. The hotel was hit directly several times by heavy fire from sub posts in good above it, sir, and mount treble, which the site of the hotel you can see behind me was very badly damaged by shell and sniper fire. That was completely uninhabitable, said journalist didnt use that side of the hotel. He and his m. Your fellow, yet complex. Im below the rest. No, asking. Not shoot stock line us hassan. Galleries id of a soviet ownership. These rare pictures filmed in may 1993, show the scale of the destruction inside the hotel, where the main entrance and reception were the most dangerous areas. Here was the 1st floor restroom, directly facing the front line, and here unexposed side entrance. A virtual no go area. The basement garage itself was shelton and so was packed with pressed cars and almond vehicles. The getting in and out every day was extremely dangerous. So there was a sense of his being concrete cocoon, which was completely false because people were shot dead on the entrance to the hotel. But you know, to work on a certain, on certain unwritten rules. He didnt come in through the front entrance and that was what happens to people who are shot. They came into the wrong entrance. Basically. I thought to myself, ive got a better chance of surviving if i dont enter the hotel through the main door, which was in the line of fire from the serbs opposite. And i had a further superstition that i was always walk to my room in the clockwise direction, however long it took rather than the anti clockwise direction. And it sort of help keep me alive. On the night of the 13th of november 1994, the hotel was hit by a barrage of shells and sniper elms, causing a huge fire and turmoil among the journalists. I do remember time ben hotel was, was a shelter and started by an inc. At the time i was in his office and to very thick smoke, basically over took the whole floor even on a 5th floor and be many, somehow to crawl out. For me myself i. I spent a lot of time outside anyway, you know, so i felt safer when i came to hotel than on the streets of the river. But no, no, we didnt feel safe. There was no, no way we could have felt safe. The main streets between the holiday inn and the Parliament Building became known a sniper alley. Behind me is my old boss name or the dragon of boss. Now its the name of the street. But 25 years ago. This was known as a sniper alley. This is on in the most dangerous intersections and inside able, the hotel sat immediately on sniper alley. And of course, the journalists were living in, in proximity of much of the sniper fire, which is one of the reasons why so much footage emanated from journalists around this particular area. They were located in the hotel. The snipers were particularly active in this area. According to 1995 un figures, 225 people were killed here. 60 of them children. On over a 1000 injured during the siege, the foreign correspondence and photographers became a part of peoples daily lives in sarajevo. On the ground, the conflict was relentless, but the world became increasingly de sensitized to peoples pain and suffering. Some like martin bel Paul Marshall and bobo liz dag stopped wearing flat jackets and helmets while reporting among civilians. Near to paula myself, lab flack jacket during the war on our regular Work Missions during the day because for him as for me was really on decent to laugh like jacket in front of the unprotected people from who were in the street and who were completely exposed to snipers and shelling every single day. Mm. Mm. Oh yeah. Yeah. They for kip is if i c n n a unanimous get a little comment which was marlene yet sort of gathered on on doris. So sit out of your squad. K, i lighted scope soft rob eschevsky like crump data on many of the little kado submit for kronsli. Maria ah, ah, ah, still photographer pull low, also captured moments of great power and poignancy. His prime location was at the notorious sniper, intersection by ali pasha mosque on Marshall Tito street. Here he took one of the iconic pictures of the siege of sarajevo where i was standing now was probably the most dangerous place in the entire city. This done. So and people wanted to come join the war to get into the main part of the city. They had to cross this intersection. And the only way you could do that was to spread fuel life. Otherwise you would have been killed. So i showed some exactly this position because i was protected from the snipers in the hills. If id move forward just a couple of centimeters that i could have been shot from here, i was protected by the, the term and by this role. And i could stay here relatively safely, im sure, and shoots and shoots and sure. I am stories about involving journalists and the people that sarajevo church schalk was an american journalist, whom every one of the holiday in the well ah, one of the most dramatic scenes of the siege took place at Lyon Cemetery on the 4th of august 1992 schalk was there with a team from reuters covering the funeral of 2 children killed by snipers. Despite the shelling he tended to a badly wounded woman, then got her into his agency car and took her to a hospital. Curt schalk reported on another tragic story. It took place close to the holiday inn at the notorious rabbani a bridge and became known as the sarajevo romeo and juliet. Schalk heard about 2 bodies lying at the bridge. And he and semi a courage went to get a closer look. We went to the scene, we had the we had to hide because it was on the front line very, very front line. And we, so 2 young people laying next, each to other hogs and obviously dead. There was the famous, very well known story of survival, romeo and juliet boscoe and admitted the couple who won. They decided they want to leave sirower besieged sir. Ever. He was a syrup. She was the muslin. They loved each other very much and they decided to leave.

The city of his beloved romeo and juliet, the main road to the airport is now named after him. Ah, the siege of sarajevo lost in 1425 days. 11541 citizens were killed. And many more hinges. The siege was lifted on the 29th of february, 1996, following the signing of the dayton peace agreement. That ended the bosnian conflict. The holiday inn is Still Standing under new management and with a new name on remains a landmark can a rejuvenated city. A symbol of the endurance and fortitude of the people of sarajevo, remembering their iconic war hotel room holiday and sorry, even it was the alternate was in hotel it south side blown away by shot and shell apparently the login page from hill and yet away from where the motors fell. It did not just survive, but cast its spell. It was all refuge, and it served as well. To those who ran away, it had seemed a cast more like ground 0 than a pace of rest. By normal standards, it was quite the west. But a to us was and folk, it seemed the best we, the believers, they, the infidels in this most dangerous of all hotels. And those who stayed there were uniquely best. Ah, all frank assessments, how much support is there at st. Protests that weve seen in hotel across the rest of the country.
