I never wanted an independent Bosnia. I wanted Yugoslavia. That is my country.

We Bosniaks would for sure fight for integrity of Bosnia.

I am hopeful that no one will forget what happened in Bosnia.

I don't think Bosnia is ready for reconciliation, but I do think it is ready for truth.

I think no one could have made peace in Bosnia besides Holbrooke.

Bosnia is a complicated country: three religions, three nations and those 'others'. Nationalism is strong in all three nations; in two of them there are a lot of racism, chauvinism, separatism; and now we are supposed to make a state out of that.

Bosnia is under my skin. It's the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all; there was this sense of guilt, and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years.

I don't think that what's going on in Bosnia is political activity. It's partly political, but it's partly atavistic as well.

If it wasn't for the military I probably would not have ever come to Bosnia for vacation.

The one indication that I got that I was doing the right job in Bosnia was that at different periods of time all the factions came down very hard on me.
