Description: The gravestone monument at the Muslim cemetery is called "NIŠAN." The same word is used for the device on a weapon through which the target is aimed. In this sense, this video is a play on words where the war is fought over "NIŠAN," or over the graves of the people who live there. Although respecting graves is a deeply ingrained custom in the local tradition, in the situation of the siege, cemeteries became everyday places.
