Damage done

Yesterday a report came out, in which amount of the damage of the siege of Sarajevo was calculated. Only direct damage (destroyed houses, demolioshed infrastructure etcetera) was calculated. Fourteen (14) billion Euro. For a siege of about 1400 days. That is 10,000,000 Euro per day. That is quite some damage. And it is still visable. According to a press clipping by Reuters, it will take another 30 years before the country is economically completely recovered from the war. Alltogether it is estimated that the war damage in BiH is about 200 Billion Euros.

Compared to Iraq this is peanuts. But who wants to compare one war with another? In all there resemblances they are all unique. But tangible in money....
