Episode notes

Elvideen and his dad decided to join a group that was taking a different route to Bosnia. They were going through the woods when they stumbled into an ambush. Elvideen's father told him, "We are going to surrender tomorrow" The soldiers took them to a nearby village called Grabovica where they surrendered all their valuables.

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.
