I visited Sarajevo during the Communist era. There was a plaque outside the museum (which was closed because of the time of day when I was there), but I’m sure it wasn’t in Cyrillic only like the one in the photo. They had put shoe prints in the sidewalk to show where Princip was standing when he fired the shots. I don’t know if the plaque or the prints survived the siege of 1992-1995.

Hi Verginius Rufus -

The rest of the essay contains another photograph - of the plaque that was put up in 1953 (during Tito’s era) alongside the footprints of Gavrilo Princip in the cement. That plaque/inscription is in the cyrillic (Serbian) language.

That plaque was demolished by the Bosnian Muslims in 1992.

Another plaque commemorating that spot in Sarajevo was put up to replace the one that the Muslims destroyed in 2004 which, as the author points out, was more “politically correct” according to the Bosnian Muslim agenda.
