Episode notes

Women and children like Elvideen were taken into a school and told to wait there. "They promised our dad and everyone will stay alive," she says, but they didn't promise. Part of me thinks that they're still alive because they're still missing"

Elvedin Pasic lived through the Bosnian genocide in the early 1990s. So why is one of Bosnia’s leaders saying it never happened? And what happens if that leader, Milorad Dodik, wins a national election this weekend?

This episode was reported and produced by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey and Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Noel King.
