'My uncle believes the Bosnians deserved it'

World at One

Available for over a year

Will yesterday's conviction in the Hague of Radovan Karadzic for genocide and war crimes provide any sense of closure among Bosnians and Serbs, 20 years after the atrocities of the Balkan War? Oggi Tomich is now a film maker in Cambridge, but he grew up in orphanages in Bosnia. He was seven years old when the war broke out. In Sarajevo, he and other Bosnians lived under constant bombardment, but it was only years later that he made a shocking discovery about his own uncle's involvement in the war. He spoke to The World at One about confronting his uncle about the part he played in Bosnia's troubled past.
