once upon a time in sadie, i thought i was a group of young men. they were crazy. they were creative. they were even visionary . they were top lester, naturalistic. realist hit parades. ah, it was the early 19 eighties and communist yugoslavia and a group of high school friends in the multi ethnic city of sarajevo formed a rock band called zap iranian and pushing. yay no smoking. they started doing a weekly comedy sports on the radio, which later became a television program. it was a massive hit. the characters they portrayed real people often placed in serial situations. and they use the language of the saudi, those streets. they called that ot movement. new primitivism, an audience is across the country,

recognize the humor as distinctly bosnian who's top needs to revolved over the years. but at the call was then it's nelly and ju row. well, the road just been war changed everything. in the early ninety's yugoslavia disintegrated and bosnia was shattered. around 200000 people were killed, many of them civilians, a molten 2000000 fed their homes. the siege of sarajevo by sub forces lost it more than 3 and a half years. the longest blockade of a capital city in molten history, people with terrorized by sniper fire from the surrounding hills. the wall also split up the group nearly left to serbia. douro fled to slovenia, while zenick remained in sarajevo, trying to keep top mister alive,

their different opinions about the war and critical statements, nelly made about sarajevo, created divisions between them. ah, i've come to sarajevo to try to bring senator nellie and jiro together again. they said they're willing to meet it. exactly. where is the big question? i was them as a child actually during and just thought of the war. people still love them. 20 years after topless to broke up. their work is still hugely popular. i mean it's set up with wire on right side extreme. it's sasha was new year's wazinski, fashionable sounds. gustavo savannah muscles got out of news with don't really

the rich, dusty touch or chat. did he got them in a caucus abuse shot in as a mock sotelo discovered that a theme that it publicly yugoslavia padilla not is that snow is up a new escalade. one sketch that people in bossier still talk about is this one where the group imagines the kind of berlin wall dividing. sorry, over. it's about a chance meeting between 2 garbage men who are throwing their rubbish over the wall at each other. oh yeah, they decide to go for a drink, but a fight breaks out because they can't agree on which bar to go to a little bit. why will i know your bill to live when the sketch was broadcast? in 1989, many viewers thought this was something that could never happen in their wildest dreams. but in fact, it predicted the deadly serious future. eerily enough, the date they picked their futuristic news broadcast turned out to be remarkably

close to when the dayton agreement actually was signed. ending the war and dividing the country i 1st arrived in bosnia just over a year later to train local journalists at a school run by the b, b. c. zen. it applied to join my class. this well known comedian was not an obvious candidate for a course in television journalism, but i let him in any way and he tried his hand at some serious news reports. lisa, miss george, my friend for a concert, run the media center in san diego was then it, and i 1st met some people told me that he was so you i was just all the time, jackie, and our jack, jackie. i was in montenegro in 2004 and we spoke on the phone and you told me,

you said jackie, you must come to both me and then it is getting married tomorrow. actually, this is a really event event. i should have gone from the con job, but it's a very long way from port got it to saturday. but now you're going to see, we're going to see him today. we're going to seem to day and catch up and see what's going on. borrow discovered topless to back in the 1980s he gave them their 1st break on the radio and became their mental last couple of scott, their mom, c no. so it says how to do it. i it ease those, the sale over for the better to is it, i never but you most to all believe bogo and you might, if you have to be in the family, the 1st program made it very funny story about the group of young people who illegally came to the radio station and force of the people in police inside to

change the music program i saw in front of me. i mean, really magic there is this belief among many people that the top this to not realistic predicted. what happened to saturday this? yeah. do you think that that's the case? they saw that way. ration is better than other people in the liberation lived in our society, but people didn't recognize that even. but you have so many people in santa local to days for them was they said it was never happened. people who remember the service and love it. and i love the idea of them getting together again. but would it work? would it work these days? if you're going to me that type of programs, you need to people who maybe not to love each other but alike. and they like to be together in a time than we are talking about to them. they were very, very close. they were in the same boat, you know, do those problems now and then everybody needs her own space,

the own cabin never to meet each other in a seen the same box. why do you think net is particularly against coming back to sorry, ever. what do you think is su so either? no, or maybe he's room. so many states went against sarah alan peopling. sorry during the war, and maybe he brought cold bridges behind him. ah, i've never met nearly or jiro, i'd only seen them in old via chest recordings. of the show that zenick played for me despite the language gap topless to captured my imagination. and i think my best hope for bringing the 3 back together is senate. i haven't seen senate now for 13 and a half years. a lot has changed since then. he's got married, he's got kid caesar father, now new responsibilities of interesting to see how he's changed during my time in

sarajevo. senate and i became close. it was always about comedy with him. when we can't, we went to the croatian coast and i took a swim in the sea. looking up, i saw senate filming made, inspired by a scene from a cult yugoslav movie the marathon family, in which a naked man, films, a young woman, swim, swim, pretty swimmer. he called out quoting a line from the film. i didn't get the reference at the time, but later i thought it was quite funny. one, there was a slightly apprehensive listen to me. it was a long time ago. oh jack, who? oh oh. oh, yeah i'm, i'm very good. i feel better than james brown. you know that i feel good on this on

your hair is shorter, but that is all. but my mind the big longer. oh, oh, you look fantastic for you. thanks with in recent years senate has tried his hand again at the top, lester, making new comedy sketches with some of the old crew. i am of this little money in this, so he also makes public service announcements and tv commercials with cover go, ah, we had to a little bar where topless, to with meet to plan their radio sketches. he talked to producing the script here by we prepare everything with the fuel, glass of beer with thank you. we met. do you remember the 1st

time we met oh, golf course. no. there was camecia who's interview interview panel. it's interview panell and you are one of the a member of and to pedal and asked me very tough questions like her, who is the vice president of america ask you that. know what you presented to topless, to naturalists to was much more than just a comedy show. we all coming from the different background, actually whole group or is a completely different. so there is a serv, so called, so muslim and joy even some how to then it's nellie's creative relationship symbolized that diversity. then it's a bosnian muslim anela upholstery. and i think the basic core of work

is actually the relationship between me and now and. and there was a great love between us. i really like that guy. he's. he's very funny and he's quite intelligent and it's absolutely unique person. and then you met with him. i think for the 1st time after the war was the 297. when you went to belgrade to do the same story, was that when you saw him for the 1st time? yes. can you tell us about how that meeting went and how you felt when you saw him again, used to have connections and discussions with him very often and, and the oldest on the same side. but when i met him, i realize that actually he has a some completely opposite opinion of me. it is

great this point and because i lost my best friend and actually i, i cannot recognize what he looks like. what he thinking it is very hard for me. what were the ideas that he said that you couldn't, that you couldn't accept the main reason why the war start? i'm not belonging to any perspectives in which i think that is my duty as a comedian, as a artist, to be independent. she's now hopefully on the 3rd sides actually to be open, which is unacceptable. i mean, i mean, i can accept that because it is not of a of working during the siege of sarajevo comedy helped senate and his friends stay sane. despite the shelling and the sniper, while they continued to record sketches, one of them was about the drive in sarajevo for blood donations. this black humor

with mark all their work during the war. one man is walking the streets and taking a canisters of the water. and one moment he looked summer on a more g, a bed which is which we get to the home. with that he tried to figure shoes but she's moving, you know, hes going further for the shoes. and one moment he jumps this just like, you know, they're taking him to hospital and taking his blood. you know, because we need every drop of the bluff or where he is going out. he said, doctor, we aren't you backed up in the morning, were not given a kind of a, you know, war is not romantic. as you can see or to some film with some think for that is, is a terrible, that's the, probably the lowest, the level of where the human being can be. there is no proud there is no dignity one sketch even made a joke about breathing sniper fire to collect water. turning it into

a sports event. i kind of set him up with that. i would be back ordered only by because of humor exist because there is the need for her for a summer and like sation of tenable situation, a human to help us to, to survive. could you imagine any circumstances in which topless to not really could we unite and could come together again and work again together? i'm definitely for, for the evening and if occasion and there is no obstacle on my side, which, which questions bring to the nail? actually, he want to start to work on again, but he want to me that in belgrade, but i cannot fill in belgrade and not fill me in a so this is absolutely out of mind. so if you want to come to and from something,

i will be happy to go and build it until it's kim something's ah, i've heard a lot about over the years, mostly from my saturdays and friends. now it's time to meet him to myself and hear his side of the story. so i'm heading to serbia. nelly hasn't returned to saudi a since he left in 1992. i need to find a place where he may be willing to meet the others. it's been a mentor here in belgrade who could have predicted 12 months ago, the kinds of events that we would see here outside the you could solve federal parliament building out the people. right now. i lived in belgrade for just over 2 years at the end of the ninety's working as a reporter for the bdc. it was a time of great change. there was the bombing, if you could sloppy by nato,

and the ousting of snowball milosevic. it was also the start of my career as a television reporter, jackie, and maybe seen you felt great some of my closest friends are still here and i'm interested to hear what they thought at the time about topless predictions for the future if you could. and it was basically too bad to be true. what they were predicting most of the people saw it that way. you know, it never happens to us. it can happen to someone else because it got towed up to boston, rochelle, so, but only connie of our, the should a portion of the people here lived in some kind of a lullaby. oh, yeah. oh, yeah. he's in the middle of a bit too promoting. he's new memoir, placing time in san diego, i catch up with him in the serbian city of novi, sad his book is doing well during large crowds. i sign
