Latin Brigde in Sarajevo, 2006"The political consequences of this deed are being heavily exaggerated " writes a journalist of Die Neue Freie Presse on july 2nd 1914. He couldn't be more wrong about anything. A month later the world was at war because of an assasination that almost didn't happen. Gavrilo Princip, a nineteen year old romantic nationalist, planned with his friends to attack the Habsburger Archduke when he paraded through Sarajevo. But when his friends messed up their plans, he turned around and went to the café to drink a coffee. Later, when he walked out of the café, the open car with the Duke coincidently came by on the way back, just where he was standing. Princip drew his gun and shot Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie instantly and changed the world forever.
They were shot right at the place were the white figure in this photograph is walking. Since then the bridge has suffed from many wars, but has been recently renovated.
