...does TIME's whole brave Balkans team, which last week also included correspondents Ed Barnes in Belgrade and Massimo Calabresi in Zagreb and reporter Alexandra Stiglmayer in Sarajevo. Calabresi, our chief Central European correspondent, just took over the post from James L. Graff, who has moved to the Chicago bureau after three years of dangerous assignments in Bosnia. At times during his tour of duty, Graff drove through sniper fire in an unarmored "soft" car, and once he was held hostage overnight by mujahedin, foreign Islamic soldiers working with Bosnian Muslims.
