Grbavica

The majority of the city was surrounded by Serb forces but there was one area of the city that was controlled by the Serbs.

Grbavica was a mixed area but many non-Serbs were expelled. The frontline snaked around a series of high rise apartment blocks and along the river that runs through the city. It gave the Bosnian Serbs a toehold within the city but it was a dangerous place to be. After the war the area was incorporated back into the city. Martin Bell reports.
