THE PARLIAMENT
The Bosnia
and Herzegovina Parliament and Government building was hit by hundreds
of shells which caused frequent fires. This is where the attack on the
city began on April 6, 1992, when the SDS snipers opened fire on the 100,000
citizens who had gathered in front of the Parliament building protesting
against the national divisions and war. The event was transmitted and
shown all over former Yugoslavia and according to many it represented
the funeral of Parliament used to come to Sarajevo sessions either by
running across the airport runway or by crawling through the tunnel under
the runway.
