Excerpt from her article in The Toronto Star on April 11, 1999:

"I was a Serb besieged by Serbs. And I identified with each person inSarajevo exposed to Serb shelling. I witnessed the pain of Bosnian Muslims,
Croats, Jews and Serbs who were forced from their homes. I could notpossibly identify with the people who had started all the shooting, or lendthe perpetrators of that action moral support through silence."
