In 1992, Elvideen is 14 years old. Bosnia has just declared independence from the former Yugoslavia. But it wasn't recognized by Serb nationalists who were rallying behind Slobernan Milosevic. In the aftermath of the war, Milosevic would be accused of trying to engineer this Greater Serbia.
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.
