Bosnian Youth Still Feel the Effects of the Ethnic Conflict That Ravaged their Country

 
Bosnian students
War in Bosnia and Herzegovina ravaged the country from 1992-1995. The conflict ended with the Dayton Agreement in December 1995, establishing a three-party, multi-ethnic presidency. The divided bureaucracy has created frustration among Bosnia's youth and, as a result, the war's political, social and economic repercussions continue to be felt. High school and university students in Sarajevo discuss their recollections of the war, the progress of the Bosnia since the fighting and their aspirations for the country's future. Online NewsHour correspondent Meaghan Wilson reports from Sarajevo, Bosnia.
 
 





The students featured in this video attend Sarajevo's Obala Gimnazija High School and the University of Sarajevo in Bosnia.
