Power odala počast novinaru koji je prenio priču o “sarajevskom Romeu i Juliji”

“Odala sam počast Kurtu Schorku, jednom od najhrabrijih novinara koje sam ikada poznavala. Na Balkanu je postao legenda zbog svoje hrabrosti i sposobnosti da predstavi ljudsku cijenu besmislenog sukoba. Sada počiva pored mladog para, muslimanke i Srbina, koji su ovjekovječeni u njegovom izvještavanju,” napisala je Power na Twitteru.

Paid respects to Kurt Schork, one of the bravest journalists I’ve ever known. In the Balkans, he became a legend for his bravery & his ability to capture the human cost of senseless conflict. Now he rests beside a young Muslim & Serb couple who were immortalized in his reporting. pic.twitter.com/H0iyumfmwf

Slika mrtvih tijela mladog para iz Sarajeva Boška Brkića i Admire Ismić kako zagrljeni leže na sarajevskom mostu je obišla svijet nakon što je Schork, tada Reutrsov izvjestitelj iz Sarajeva, objavio članak o njihovoj tragičnoj sudbini.

Schork je ubijen sedam godina poslije u Sierra Leoneu gdje je također izvještavao o sukobima.
