During the civil war, the Serbian army had taken control of many Bosnian regions and the U.N. started seeing some of its military actions as genocide. The U.N., along with the U.S., wanted Serbia to expedite Slobodan Milosevic so that he could be tried for acts of crime against the human race. In 1999 when Serbia refused the U.N. and U.S., forces began to bombard major cities in Serbia, Sabac being one of them. There was a military base across the street from my school and when it was bombed, the shock wave blew out all of the windows on my school. After the first night of the bombardment and hiding in a shelter underneath a hill near our house with many other families, we decided it was time to move back to Sipovo.
