(10 Dec 1995) Serbo-Croat/Nat
Despite the fragile peace now reigning in Bosnia, the war is still claiming its victims.
Now hundreds of Bosnian Serbs are on the road - fleeing the results of the peace deal signed in Dayton, Ohio, last month.
The refugees are leaving their homes in towns that, under the agreement, will be controlled by the Bosnian government-Croatian federation.
The Serb-held suburbs of Gorazde in eastern Bosnia will transfer to Bosnian government-Croatian federation control under the terms of the Dayton peace agreement.
For those Bosnian Serbs who don't want their children growing up in an area not governed by their own side, the only option is to flee.
Peace may have come to war-torn Bosnia, but hundreds of thousands of villagers now face the daunting prospect of rebuilding their lives.
A steady trickle of families prepare for an uncertain future as they gather their belongings for a trip into the unknown.
Old and young alike have stories of shattered lives to tell.

I am trying to find a house. Everything I had I left in Ustikolina. I lost everything I had.

I came from Ustikolina where I had a big house and nice plot of land.

The refugees have packed their belongings in vehicles of every kind: trucks, tractors, even horse-drawn carts.
They plan to settle in the Serb-held towns of Trnovo and Foca, 30 kilometres east of Sarajevo.
The two towns will remain under Serb control under the Dayton plan.
