Sarajevo (AFP) April 5, 2024

Thousands marched through Sarajevo on Friday following a "memory" path made up of over 11,500 pairs of shoes, each representing a victim of the siege of the Bosnian capital which started 32 years ago. The commemoration began with a tribute to several hundred children killed during the 44-month siege, with youngsters laying flowers around a monument in the city centre, an AFP journalist saw.
