I was intrigued by the postscriptum:

> Edit: Please note, that I unfortunately used a photo that was unwise due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of Bosnian history! I removed the image out of respect and I apologize! Thanks!

I didn't see the photo, could someone explain?

I was informed that the photo was a serb soldier that made a hand sign that was politically inappropriate in front of a sign that said Sarajevo.

I initially meant it as just a photo of a guy in Sarajevo waving hello. So, I was ignorant of the sensitive nature behind the photo.

When I was informed of the issue, I took it down immediately out of respect and write the explanation.
