Sarajevo marks 100 years since killing of Archduke Ferdinand
Quote:
28 June 2014 The shots fired by the Bosnian Serb on 28 June 1914 sucked Europe's great powers into four years of warfare. Bosnia's Serbs, Croats and Muslim Bosniaks are still divided over the role Princip played in bringing tensions to a head in Europe in 1914, with counter-commemorations planned by Bosnian Serbs. In Austria, Franz Ferdinand's great-granddaughter and family will be holding events at the family castle at Artstetten, near Vienna, where he is buried. Differing interpretations Leaders of Serbia and some Bosnian Serbs are boycotting official events, which they say are designed to incriminate Serbs. On Friday, Serbs in Bosnia unveiled a statue of Princip in eastern Sarajevo, seen by them as a national hero who ended years of occupation of the Balkans by the Austro-Hungarian empire. |
