		There is a Sarajevo of the mind, and imagined Sarajevo whose ruination and torment exiles us all.That Sarajevo represents something like an ideal: a city in which the values of pluralism, tolerance nad coexistence have created a unique and resilient culture.
		Sarajevo's truth (as opposed to the saloon-bar version) is that the different communities have not been hating each other since the dawn of time, but have been good neighbours, schoolfriends, work-mates and lovers; that in this city miscegenation and intermarriage have been not the exception, but the norm.
		Sarajevo's truth is that its citizens, who rejected definition by religion or confession, who wish to be simply Bosnians, have for their pains been labelled by the outside world as "Muslims".

		(Cultural budgets are more than modest in most countries in transition, representing on the average no more than 0.6 per cent of the public expenditure.) However, the process remains fairly undefined, and in some of the countries the centralist tendencies still prevail.
		When people do not feel free to practise their cultural traditions and to transmit these traditions to new generations, they are less likely to develop a feeling that they share common goals with the larger society.

		Director Michael Winterbottom's "Welcome to Sarajevo" is a rancid and self-righteous film that reflects the pro-interventionist outlook of the "laptop bombardiers."
