Modern Sarajevo
The recent Bosnian War resulted in large-scale destruction and dramatic population shifts during the siege of the city between 1992 and 1995. See Siege of Sarajevo.
Reconstruction of Sarajevo started as soon as the war ended in 1995. By 2003, most of the city was rebuilt, with only a few remaining visible ruins in the city center.

Famous quotes containing the word modern:
“The modern world needs people with a complex identity who are intellectually autonomous and prepared to cope with uncertainty; who are able to tolerate ambiguity and not be driven by fear into a rigid, single-solution approach to problems, who are rational, foresightful and who look for facts; who can draw inferences and can control their behavior in the light of foreseen consequences, who are altruistic and enjoy doing for others, and who understand social forces and trends.”
—Robert Havighurst (20th century)
