Bosnia and Herzegovina: 100th anniversary of Gavrilo Princip’s death celebrated in hometown
Hundreds of people celebrated the 100th anniversary of Gavrilo Princip's death in his Bosnian hometown of Bosansko Grahovo on Sunday.
Princip, a Yugoslav nationalist living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914. Europe was plunged into four years of war soon after.
The commemoration was attended by guests from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and other countries. Attendees visited Princip’s birthplace, laid flowers at the grave of his parents and held a gathering in the town’s main square.
Small places give birth to great people. Today, we are in the centre of Grahovo, in the epicentre of the world, in honour of the man whose victim caused the earth to start spinning more quickly, said Mayor of Bosansko Grahovo, Dusko Radun.

Franz Ferdinand Assassination Location in Sarajevo
The monument was destroyed in 1919 (also assassinated :P )
Interestingly, the assassin Gavrilo Princip actually had a monument dedicated to him as well, although it was given to Adolf Hitler as a gift, and then destroyed in WW2.
Saraybosna-Sarajevo Latin köprü-Osmanlı kale Manzara-Latine bridge,Ottoman castle
Osmanlı kalesi (Beyaz Tabya, Bijela Tabija). Saraybosna’ya hakim bir noktada bulunan kale Osmanlı Kalesi (Beyaz Tabya, Bijela Tabija), şehrin tarihi yapılarından biridir. Şehrin neredeyse tamamının görülebileceği Osmanlı Kalesi 667 metre yüksekliktedir ve 1550 yılında inşa edilmiştir. Zaman içerisinde zarar görse de yenileme çalışmaları ile günümüze dek gelmiştir. Osmanlı Kalesi’nin bulunduğu noktada bu yapıdan önce de burçlar olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bosna Savaşı sırasında zarar gören ve bakımsız kalan Osmanlı Kalesi koruma projeleri sayesinde ayakta kalabilmiştir. 1971 yılında Saraybosna Kültür ve Tarih mirası listesine alınmıştır
Latin Köprüsü ( Boşnakça , Hırvatça ve Sırpça : Yugoslavya döneminde Principov en / Принципов мост - Princip Köprüsü adı verilen Latince Köprüsü), Bosna-Hersek'teki Saraybosna'daki Miljacka nehri üzerinde bir Osmanlı köprüsüdür . Köprünün kuzey ucunda 1914 yılında Gavrilo Princip tarafından Avusturya'nın Archduke Franz Ferdinand'ı öldürüldü ve Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nın casus meselesi oldu.

BOSNIA: SBRERENICA: FORENSIC EXPERTS FIND HUMAN REMAINS
English/Nat
International forensic experts found human remains and the clothing of missing Muslims on Monday as they began new exhumations in the area around Srebrenica, the site of the Bosnian war's worst massacres.
They are hoping to find bodies of some of the 7,000 people still missing and presumed
dead since the former Muslim enclave was overrun by Bosnian Serbs in 1995.
The investigation is expected to provide significant evidence in support of the indictment of the number one war-crimes suspect, Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb war-time leader.
International forensic experts started new exhumations Monday in the area around Srebrenica, site of the worst massacre of the three-and-a-half year Bosnia war.
The works began on a 150 square metre plateau of the dam at Brnice, near the Serb- held town of Zvornik.
Once that operation is completed, the international investigators will move to the next site in a process expected to last several months.
Already investigators claim to have found 1,500 shell cases, fragments of human bones and some clothes at the Djulici mass grave site.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Thus far we have turned up human remains, articles of clothing, some shoes, personal effects, which of course we have set aside, and will be analysed by the forensic experts when they come tomorrow.
SUPER CAPTION: Kelly Moore, Spokeswoman for ICTY (Hague war crimes tribunal) in Bosnia
The prewar Muslim-dominated town of Zvornik was overrun by Bosnian Serb army forces at the beginning of the war in May 1992.
Since then most of the Muslim population who fled the town have settled in Tuzla or abroad.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
This plateau was the site of an execution of a large number of people on the night of the fourteenth of July 1995. You will see some earth has been moved, and we're beginning to dig the hole of a grave. The grave is estimated to be about 150 square metres and that's just surface area.
SUPER CAPTION: Kelly Moore, Spokeswoman for ICTY (Hague war crimes tribunal) in Bosnia
Russian soldiers of the NATO-led peace force are providing security for the forensic team, which consists of about 50 experts from various countries.
A United Nations statement said that the search is expected to unearth new evidence that could significantly aid the progress of cases at the war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.
So far more than 75 Bosnian Serbs, Croats and Muslims have been publicly indicted, although the tribunal also has issued an unspecified number of sealed indictments.
These are unannounced in an attempt to improve the chances for arrests.
The three (m) million U-S dollar operation is being financed by the United States, Britain, Canada, Denmark and Saudi Arabia.
The bodies, the experts might find, will later be handed over to local authorities.
Humanitarian exhumations by international and local forensic specialists commenced all over Bosnia almost immediately after fighting stopped in 1995. More than 1,000 bodies have been exhumed so far.

Bosnian Serbs unveil statue of man whose shooting of Arch Duke Ferdinand sparked WWI
Marking the centennial of the beginning of World War I in their own way, Bosnian Serbs unveiled on Friday a monument in their part of Sarajevo to Gavrilo Princip, the man who ignited the war by assassinating the Austro-Hungarian crown prince in 1914.
Bosnian Serb leaders used the opportunity to reaffirm their wishes for Bosnia's Serb-run area, the Republika Srpska, to join Serbia.
The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, called Bosnia-Herzegovina an artificial state and a divided country.
Princip was a young Serb nationalist who advocated the unification of Bosnia and Serbia outside the existing Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Bosnians are still divided about Princip, who pulled the trigger on 28 June 1914, killing the heir to the throne and his wife, Sophie.
At the other end of the city, the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra was rehearsing on Friday for Saturday's grand EU-sponsored performance planned as a symbolic start to a new century of peace at the place where the century of wars started 100 years ago.
The two evidence testify to the depth of lingering divisions, with one side promoting peace to the tunes of Joseph Haydn's God save the Emperor while the other erects a monument to the assassin of the emperor's heir.

Franz Ferdinand, Sofija i Gavrilo Princip prošetali ulicama Sarajeva
Relatives of Austro-Hungarian crown prince Franz Ferdinand commemorate his death and the events that
More than 120 direct descendants of the archduke whose assassination sparked the Great War gathered in Lower Austria to mark the 100th anniversary of his death.
The ceremony honouring Austro-Hungarian crown prince Franz Ferdinand took place at Castle Artstetten, the royal family's former summer home, where his remains rest.
Austrian royal family members including Archduke Ferdinand Zvonimir Ferdinand Habsburg, the 17-year-old great grandson of the last Habsburg emperor Karl I, and Princess Anna of Hohenberg, Ferdinand's great granddaughter, were among the attendees.
About 500 members of living history groups took part in the ceremony, many dressed in period clothing.
Ferdinand was assassinated by a Serb in Sarajevo, where he had come to inspect his occupying troops in the empire's eastern province.
The shots fired by Serb teenager Gavrilo Princip sparked World War 1, which was followed decades later by a second world conflict.
Lower Austria's governor Erwin Proll called Ferdinand's assassination the starting point of a murderous war and said history showed that nationalism and disparities of power and prosperity have always led to ruin on this continent.
Together the two wars cost some 80 million European lives and ended four empires, including the Austro-Hungarian, changing the world forever.

SUMMARY
=======
Bosnia and Herzegovina ( ( listen) or ; abbreviated B&H; Bosnian and Serbian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) / Боснa и Херцеговина (БиХ), Croatian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH), pronounced [bôsna i xěrtseɡoʋina]), sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina, and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe in the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an almost landlocked country – it has a narrow coast at the Adriatic Sea, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long surrounding the town of Neum. It is bordered by Croatia to the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland, Bosnia, is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.
Bosnia and Herzegovina traces permanent human settlement back to the Neolithic age, during and after which it was populated by several Illyrian and Celtic civilizations. Culturally, politically, and socially, the country has a rich history, having been first settled by the Slavic peoples that populate the area today from the 6th through to the 9th centuries. In the 12th century the Banate of Bosnia was established, which evolved into the Kingdom of Bosnia in the 14th century, after which it was annexed into the Ottoman Empire, under whose rule it remained from the mid-15th to the late 19th centuries. The Ottomans brought Islam to the region, and altered much of the cultural and social outlook of the country. This was followed by annexation into the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which lasted up until World War I. In the interwar period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and after World War II, it was granted full republic status in the newly formed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the republic proclaimed independence in 1992, which was followed by the Bosnian War, lasting until late 1995.
The country is one of the most frequently visited countries in the region, projected to have the third highest tourism growth rate in the world until 2020. Bosnia and Herzegovina is regionally and internationally renowned for its natural environment and cultural heritage inherited from six historical civilizations, its cuisine, winter sports, its eclectic and unique music, architecture and its festivals, some of which are the largest and most prominent of their kind in Southeastern Europe. The country is home to three main ethnic groups or, officially, constituent peoples, as specified in the constitution. Bosniaks are the largest group of the three, with Serbs second and Croats third. A native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, regardless of ethnicity, is usually identified in English as a Bosnian. Minorities, defined under the constitutional nomenclature Others, include Jews, Roma, Poles, Ukrainians and Turks. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a bicameral legislature and a three-member Presidency composed of a member of each major ethnic group. However, the central government's power is highly limited, as the country is largely decentralized and comprises two autonomous entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, with a third region, the Brčko District, governed under local government. The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is complex and consists of 10 cantons.
Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks highly in terms of human development, and has an economy dominated by the industry and agriculture sectors, followed by the tourism and service sectors. The country has a social security and universal healthcare system, and primary- and secondary-level education is tuition-free. It is a member of the UN, OSCE ...

Josip Broz Tito
Josip Broz Tito (born Josip Broz; Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [jɔ̌sip brɔ̂ːz tîtɔ]; Јосип Броз Тито; 7 May 1892 – 4 May 1980) was a Yugoslav revolutionary and statesman, serving in various roles from 1943 until his death in 1980. During World War II he was the leader of the Partisans, often regarded as the most effective resistance movement in occupied Europe. While his presidency has been criticized as authoritarian, Tito was seen by most as a benevolent dictator due to his successful economic and diplomatic policies and was a popular public figure both in Yugoslavia and abroad. Viewed as a unifying symbol, his internal policies successfully maintained the peaceful coexistence of the nations of the Yugoslav federation. He gained international attention as the chief leader of the Non-Aligned Movement, working with Jawaharlal Nehru of India, Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt and Sukarno of Indonesia.
He was General Secretary (later Chairman of the Presidium) of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (1939–80), and went on to lead the World War II Yugoslav guerrilla movement, the Partisans (1941–45). After the war, he was the Prime Minister (1943–63), President (later President for Life) (1953–80) of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). From 1943 to his death in 1980, he held the rank of Marshal of Yugoslavia, serving as the supreme commander of the Yugoslav military, the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA). With a highly favourable reputation abroad in both Cold War blocs, Josip Broz Tito received some 98 foreign decorations, including the Legion of Honour and the Order of the Bath.

Warn the Duke: The Sarajevo Assassination in History, Memory & Myth
How has the Sarajevo assassination been remembered, represented and imagined since it first entered human consciousness as an act of world historical significance? By examining literature, film, monuments, museums and history writing itself, Paul Miller showed how the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914 has transcended history to enter the realm of mythology.
Speaker Biography: Paul Miller is associate professor at McDaniel College. He earned his Ph.D. in modern European history at Yale University and his dissertation, From Revolutionaries to Citizens: Antimilitarism in France, 1870-1914, was published by Duke University Press in 2002. In 2004-05, he was a Fulbright fellow at the University of Sarajevo, where he wrote on, and taught, genocide issues. From 2011 to 2013, Miller was a Marie Curie Fellow at the University of Birmingham (U.K.), where he researched, and later published his work on, the memory of the Sarajevo assassination.
