Too much history

I neglected to mention last Thursday that April 6 was commemorated in Sarajevo as the "Day of the City." April 6 is the day that:

* ... the Nazis first bombed the city in 1941;
* ... the city was liberated in 1945 ;
* ... the first bombs fell on Sarajevo, and the first victims were killed, in 1992;
* ... and the UN recognized Bosnia-Herzegovina as an independent country, in 1992.

Now you know why they say the Balkans has too much history for its own good.
