Suada and Olga Bridge, Vrbanja Bridge

The Bride og Suada and Olga or Vrbanja Bridge is the name for a bridge in Sarajevo, at Marijin Dvor settlement, over Miljacka river. It was named after Suada Dilberović and Olga Sučić, who were the first victims of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who deceased on 5th of April 1992, at the Vrbanja Bridge by the Serb sniper.

The bridge was orrignially renamed to the “Most Suade Dilberović” on 6th of April 1996, but was after that re-renamed to “Most Suade i Olge”, on 3rd of December of 1999.

Today at the bridge there is a memorial tablet in memory of these two innocent victims that says:

“A drop of my blood flowed, and Bosnia did not drain”.

Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo was an international documentary about the deaths of Admira Ismić (born 1968) and Boško Brkić (born 1968). The couple were natives of the former Yugoslavia, living in the city of Sarajevo.

Like many other couples and families in Bosnia, they were of different religious backgrounds; she was a Bosniak, and he a Bosnian Serb.

They were killed on May 19, 1993, while fleeing the besieged city on Vrbanja bridge. Photographs of their dead bodies were used by numerous media outlets, and a now legendary Reuters dispatch about them was filed by Kurt Schork. They became a symbol for the suffering of the people on all sides of the conflict.
