The review mentioned was printed in the L.A. Times Book Review section by
the UK Telegraph film critic, so I sent my short letter to both
newspapers. It is not a big deal, but I just could not resist replying to
such stupidity.

Dear Editor:
In his review of “Sundance Sarajevo” film critic Tom Shone writes about
Sarajevo “….You mean like figuring out why the Yugoslavs, having
survived the world’s longest siege in modern history, …”
I don’t believe the inhabitants of Sarajevo would appreciate being called
“Yugoslavs”. They are Bosnians, of the internationally recognized country
of Bosnia-Herzegovina and it was the Yugoslavs, meaning Serbs, who were
doing the besieging of Bosnia’s capital Sarajevo for four terrible years.
Sincerely,
