You can read the interview we shared with Balkan anarchists on the uprisings in Bosnia on the CrimethInc blog. Updates since the interviews were published include demonstrations in Banja Luka—where first-hand accounts tell us the crowd was much larger than reported in the media—and Skopje, Macedonia Read more Bosnian coverage from anarchists and translations into English of various protest files, as well as the Insurgent Notes article.

You can also watch footage from some of the demonstrations in Mostar, Tuzla, and Sarajevo (don’t miss the man with the yellow umbrella at 0:24!)

Lyrics to the Bosnian protest anthem “Gori” (“Everything Is Burning”) by Frenkie:
I know that we fight them in vain
But, at least, I’ll be able to look myself in the eye
I will fall honorably like the Polish cavalry
Will disappear silently, but at least I’ll give ’em bruises

I know they have a thick rind
But my words will leave a mark
And will reach them
I will beat the hatred in their eyes
And demolish their home on other people’s bones
Throw the burden that hampers me
Today a new chapter begins

Chorus:
Wall Street is burning and the IMF is burning
Every bank and every safe is burning
Brussels is burning and Washington is burning
Burning, burning, Babylon is burning.

The people are lost, the stink of hatred and gunpowder surrounds us
We are in a state of crisis, since long ago
We have to march boldly in strength
With our head held up high straight through the dam
Or we can consent and obey
Assimilate and profit
Relax and enjoy
Maybe the machine will collapse by itself

Big business squeezing out nature like a tornado
While they tell us to buy energy saving bulbs
I would also run to the sea
But when the heart says “sea”, the wallet says “no can see”
The bourgeoisie, their nation
The capital, a permanent occupation
The rules are not the same for everyone, turn on your mind
I’m asking myself where’s the bailout for Somalia

Chorus (2x)

I’m an optimist all the way to the end
Even if the light at the end of the tunnel could be a train
Instead of a wall I will build a bridge
If you think alike, be my guest
No one will come to save us, nothing will fall from the sky
We are the ones who we have been waiting for
No one will come to save us, nothing will fall from the sky
We are the ones who we have been waiting for

Dayton is burning, Laktasi is burning
Theirs are burning, ours are burning
Tuzla is burning, fucking fire
Even the Pannonian sea is burning

Gardens are burning, cafes are burning
The theaters and the artists are all burning
Bosnia & Herzegovina is burning
You are burning and I am burning.

Chorus (2x)

Pepsi and Coca Cola are burning
The Parliament is burning from the foundation to the roof
Alcohol, pot and chemicals are burning
Every villa and residence is burning

Kool-Aid is burning
And Frenkie is burning
