Young Bosnia

Sarajevo on Saturday was to mark 100 years since the assassination that sparked World War I, an act that still deeply divides the people of the Balkans over the legacy of that fateful day.

Bosnia on Saturday is staging a range of cultural events to mark the centenary of the killing of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Bosnian Serb revolutionary Gavrilo Princip on June 28, 1914, although Serb politicians are staging parallel commorations.

Monument to Gavrilo Princip unveiled in East Sarajevo

SARAJEVO -- As part of events marking 100 years since the outbreak of WW1, a monument to Gavrilo Princip has been unveiled in the newly built city park in East Sarajevo.

The statue was cast in bronze and is two meters tall, the work of Belgrade-based sculptor Zoran Kuzmanović.

Gavrilo Princip described as "man who lived for ideals"

SARAJEVO -- The shot that echoed in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, was not a shot fired at freedom, but at the occupiers, Gavrilo Princip's nephew, Nikola Princip, has said.

He spoke ahead of the 100th anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

BANJA LUKA - Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said that Serbia is a guarantor of the Dayton Peace Accords, which entail the preservation of Republika Srpska (RS), adding that he has exceptionally positive cooperation with RS leadership and President Milorad Dodik.

Every one has the right to take a side or stand aside, but there are huge pressures. We are small, unimportant and bloody exchange of mighty powers, I am paraphrasing Andric.

ANDRICGRAD - The Department of History of the Andric Institute in Andricgrad has launched a petition for a revision of the trial of members of the Young Bosnia movement, including Gavrilo Princip, who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on June 28 1914.
