PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
THOUSANDTH DAY OF THE SIEGE OF SARAJEVO (20 January 1995)

That this House welcomes the decision of European Dialogue and the Sarajevo Cosmopolitan Recovery Association to organise a literary meeting in London on 23rd January devoted to the 1,000th day of the siege of Sarajevo; notes that this event, which is entitled Sarajevo 1000-Scheherazade 2001, will bring together authors and others from Bosnia-Herzegovina; believes that such events can help to ensure that the tragic suffering of the people of Sarajevo, and of the whole of the former Yugoslavia, is not forgotten by the Government or public opinion; and further believes that such events highlight continuing efforts to rebuild a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural future for Serbs, Muslims and Croats.
