A tale of victory of humanism over revenge motif. Amir Reko (nicknamed "Macedonian", but actually Bosnian Muslim by ethnicity), the ex-captain of Yugoslav People's Army, saved lives of 44 Serb civilians during the siege of Gorazde in 1992. He went through personal and professional temptation during the war, while plenty of other officers ended up in Hague or other international criminal courts across Europe.
