Bosnia marks 20 years of the beginning of its war

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Exactly 11,541 red chairs have been lined up in rows along Sarajevo’s main street — one for every man, woman and child killed in the siege that ended up being the longest in modern history. Sarajevo today marks the 20th anniversary of the start of the Bosnian war. Exhibitions, concerts and performances are being held, but nothing can match the impact of hundreds of rows of red in the same square where it all started on April 6, 1992.
