KEMAL KURSPAHIC. ("Ke-MAL COURSE-pack-hitch") He was editor-in-chief of Sarajevo's only surviving daily newspaper, "Oslobodenje." ("Oslobodenje" means liberation in Serbo-Croatian.) Now he is Washington correspondent for the paper. It has been a trial to get out the paper each day. The staff braved sniper fire just to get to work. After the paper's high rise offices were gutted by mortar fire, publication was transferred to an underground bunker. Three staffers were killed covering the war and KURSPAHIC himself was wounded. KURSPAHIC offers his perspective on recent developments in Bosnia-Herzegovina and on post-war prospects there.
