(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, APR 5 - Thousands marched through Sarajevo on Friday following a "memory" path made up of over 11,500 pairs of shoes, each representing a victim of the siege of the Bosnian capital which started 32 years ago. The commemoration began with a tribute to several hundred children killed during the 44-month siege, with youngsters laying flowers around a monument in the city centre. "Behind each pair of shoes is a lost life," Ahmed Kulanic, director of the Sarajevo Memorial Centre, told reporters. (ANSA-AFP).
