Episode notes

In 1992, Bosnia declares its independence. Elvideen's family hides in a basement for a while. His dad takes off to defend the village and eventually becomes a fighter in the war. At the time when we were leaving, they were entering the northern part of the village. So you can see the smoke coming out of the houses that they were burning. We've seen it on TV, but actually now it's at our doorstep"

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.
