Airport durring agression on BH  1992-1996






From june 1992 the airport was officially controled by UNPROFOR. It was used by military planes with humanitarian aid for the city, foreign journalists, artists, politicans, mediators, diplomats and the citizens of Sarajevo with UN Press or UNHCR cards. The airport was opened or closed depending on the aggressor shelling or their guarantees of safety in accordance with their current political or military aims. In reality the aggressors controlled the airport. . Before the tunnel was built people would enter or leave the city running across the runway wich was cluttered with barbed wire, trenches and various obstacles put there by UNPROFOR. While running to avoid sniper fire they had to hide from the white UN transports and patrols which were trying to prevent the crossing of the runway. The deaths and woundings while crossing the runway were reported daily on the radio. On several occasions during the siege, UNPROFOR organizaed a passage across the runway for civilian traffic.
