Who is Gordana Knezević?

Gordana Knezević is the former editor of Oslobođenje, and covered the siege of Sarajevo from 1992-1994. She has been based in Toronto, Canada as the online desk editor at Reuters since 1996. She served two terms at the Board of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression.

Excerpt from her article in The Toronto Star on 11 April 1999:

"I was a Serb besieged by Serbs. And I identified with each person in Sarajevo exposed to Serb shelling. I witnessed the pain of Bosnian Muslims, Croats, Jews and Serbs who were forced from their homes. I could not possibly identify with the people who had started all the shooting, or lend the perpetrators of that action moral support through silence."
