Description
"The games were held here because it's a place where people mix. We were united, strong. We didn't pay attention to people's (national) affiliation," says Kasim Djaka who was among 60,000 people who attended the lavish Winter Olympics inaugural ceremony at the Kosevo stadium on February 8th, 1984. Four decades after Bosnia's capital Sarajevo hosted the Winter Olympics, residents remember the event with a mixture of pride and melancholy that marked one of the last unifying moments in Yugoslavia before the country was ravaged by war.
