Na današnji dan počela je opsada Sarajeva.
Opsada Sarajeva trajala je 1425 dana i najduža je opsada jednog glavnog grada ikad zabilježena u modernoj historiji.
Za vrijeme opsade, u periodu od 5. aprila 1992. do posljednjeg dana mjeseca februara 1996. godine, na Sarajevo je ispaljeno gotovo 500.000 različitih projektila velike razorne moći. Desetine hiljada kulturno-historijskih i stambenih objekata je u potpunosti ili djelimično uništeno (do '93. već je zabilježeno da je stradalo više od 35.000 objekata), a od posljedica agresije smrtno je stradalo preko 14.000 stanovnika Sarajeva. U prosjeku, 329 granata je padalo na Sarajevo na dnevnoj bazi. Sarajlije su opsadu preživljavale sa prosječno 159 g hrane i 2 l vode dnevno uz mnogo upornosti, snalažljivosti i kreativnosti.
Fascinantna je činjenica da je opkoljeno Sarajevo, u 1425 dana opsade, na polju kulturnog razvoja iznjedrilo čak 3102 umjetnička djela i performansa, 170 izložbi i 48 koncerata.

On this day...
The siege of Sarajevo lasted 1425 days and is the longest siege of a capital city ever recorded in modern history.
During the siege, in the period from April 1992 to the last day of February 1996, almost 500,000 different missiles of great destructive power were fired at Sarajevo. Tens of thousands cultural-historical and residential buildings were completely or partially destroyed, and over 14,000 Sarajevo residents died as a result of the aggression. On average, 329 grenades, shells or projectiles fell on Sarajevo on a daily basis. Sarajevo people survived the siege with an average of 159 g of food and 2 liters of water per capita with a lot of persistence, resourcefulness and creativity.
It is a fascinating fact that in the 1,425 days of the siege, Sarajevo produced as many as 3,102 works of art and performances, 170 exhibitions and 48 concerts in the field of cultural development.
