Once we first set foot in Bosnia, it didn’t take us long to realise that the most evident marks of the conflict were not the ones left on the buildings but rather the ones left on the people. The case of Davor Dragičević and his son David stands as a moment that, for the first time in over twenty years, brought together all three of Bosnia’s ethnic groups in a cohesive movement demanding justice. Davor’s personal transformation is central to this renewed unity. A former Bosnian Serb soldier and first-category fighter, he was once a symbol of loyalty to Republika Srpska. Yet today, he openly states that going back, he would refuse to fight for its institutions. This unity was possible because, despite living in isolated worlds, all three ethnic groups recognized a shared problem: the corruption and impunity of the ruling institutions. For once, they could all agree on something—they were all victims.
