ABC WEDNESDAY--Missing Milica
You may have forgotten the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia, but people here have not. Many memorials and statues have been erected around the country. The one above represents a little girl, Milica Rakic, who along with 79 other children, was killed in the bombing. The original statue (the memorial behind it was there earlier) was placed over 15 years ago, and a few months after, was stolen; thieves never found and the whereabouts of that statue are unknown.
The words on the memorial read in both Serbian and English, "We were just children."
