Grbavica

My flat is located in the district of Grbavica (Gerr-buh-veets-uh), on the third floor of a tall building just off a busy intersection. Grbavica is the district that the Serbs completely overtook, forcing residents out (and killing many) and using the windows and balconies as launch pads for sniping the streets below.

*The above is not a photo of my actual apartment building, but is similar to how my building would have looked after the 3 1/2 year siege.
