Silence and chairs mark two decades since Sarajevo siege
In Sarajevo on the 20th anniversary of the Bosnian war crowds laid 11 541 red chairs and handed out flowers to mourn the dead, highlighting a siege that lasted 46 months and killed more than 100 000 people. The ceremony contrasted with discussions in Washington where Kosovo prime minister Hashim Thaci urged integration and rejected autonomy or land swaps for Serb communities.
