Our trip to Vukova, Croatia - a town of around 30,000 people right on the Serbia border - was one of the most humbling days of our lives. In 1991, the town was hit with a massive siege by Yugoslavian military and para-military which left more than 2,000 people dead and nearly the same number missing. Although the war was now 20 years ago, many parts of the city look as if the war was just yesterday. The ruins of the buildings, now covered with shrapnel holes, tell the story of how brutal this war was.
We will have more about our trip in Vukovar a bit later.
