THE UNPROFOR
(UNITED NATIONS
PROTECTION FORCE)
The role
of the UNPROFOR was manifold. They served as hostages to the aggressor,
they cleared the garbage, they rode in trams as a protection against snipers,
they gave out sweets, brought flour, destroyed the surface of Sarajevo
streets with their tanks and transporters, representing the only city
transportation throughout a long period, they repaired electrical transmission
lines, they controlled the airport... The most important form of the protection
of citizens was driving the transporters next to them shielding them from
the sniper fire while they were crossing the Tito street. For a long time
they were the most significant part of the city's commercial life because
they were trading the goods available to them.
