@EdDzeko, the best Bosnian player of all time, and one of the greatest football players of this century, wrote a letter to the children of Bosnia: “Nothing is impossible.”

Massive Russian ballistic missile barrage on central Kyiv overnight, with multiple shopping centers, apartment blocks and residential areas destroyed. Also, a reported use of Oreshnik on Bila Tserkva near Kyiv, The casualty count is just beginning to trickle in.
Da, životi ubijene palestinske djece su jednako vrijedni životima djece ubijene u genocidu u Srebrenici i drugim zločinima širom BiH.
Tvrditi suprotno predstavlja moralni bankrot i izdaju samog principa "Never again". Taj princip ili vrijedi za sve, ili ne vrijedi nikako.

Forza Bosnia.
I really need to tell you what has just happened.
Breakfast at cafe with colleague before going to airport.
It’s quiet around, day after partying.
We are done and one moment before standing up to go paying, a 60-years old man suddenly pops up from nowhere, quickly grabs our check and goes to counter.
At first I don’t understand, I think he wants to tease us.
Then he starts chatting with waitress and pulls out a roll of notes while she smiles.
I ask him “What? What are you doing?”.
He smiles nodding and keeps paying, saying something in Bosnian and then “No no no”.
I tell him “Why? But why?”.
He winks “Ok ok” while all waitresses now smiles.
Again I say “You don’t. You don’t have to”. And then I lean to him and I hug him and we pat on shoulders.
As he leaves I ask him “But tell me your name”. And he goes “Italia Italia, it’s ok” and walks away.
60 years old, a face that looked toughened by life and hard work.
Who knows what he saw when he was 30 in Bosnia.
Who knows what Italy was for him, when the Italian soldiers came to Bosnia to help, when Italy came to play in Bosnia on September 1996.
How long it takes for us to witness every day a pure act of kindness?
How better life can be with kindness?
Hvala Bosnia.
Have a joyous World Cup
🇮🇹 & 🇧🇦: A football friendship forged in the 1996 "match of peace".
So many Bosnian stars have shone in Italy since! Who stands out the most for you? ⚽

Experience and youth for Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦

Still reeling that my four years covering the war in Ukraine for The Washington Post are up — right before the invasion anniversary. I plan to stay in Kyiv because this story is more important than ever. So please reach out with opportunities.
I’m pleased to share that I’ve joined the Global Advisory Board of the @WCMsarajevo. The Museum does remarkable work in preserving the lived experiences of children affected by war and in advancing education, remembrance, and accountability.Explore https://t.co/YHtBhfF2DF
