The roads into the city were indifferently maintained and in places badly graded.ĭuring the war Sarajevo's weather and Sarajevo's isolation were constant preoccupations, weighing on both the Sarajevans - for whom they were matters of life and death - and the journalists and aid workers who regularly traveled in and out of the city. The airport was undependable and subject to fogs that closed it for days at a time. But even in those last good days it was a peculiarly inaccessible resort. Before the collapse of Yugoslavia and the beginning of the siege, Sarajevo, too, was a resort. Topographically, the nearest thing in America to the Bosnian capital is Aspen, Colorado, another place where the hills seem to rise right out of the town. The city sits in a bowl at the bottom of steep hills leading up to a series of mountains. IT was always difficult to get into Sarajevo.
