That evening, the anchorman presented the news, and Mate’s footage of the fire had just aired. The entire team was watching the live broadcast together when the phone rang. Ivan reached over and answered it. His face went chalk white.

“What? What are you saying?”

Ivan cleared his throat and relayed instructions into the news presenter’s earpiece: “We’ve got the president on the line. Start doing a live interview. Now!”

The presenter managed to conceal his astonishment. They’d decided not to cover the president’s disappearance on the news that evening, so the presenter simply asked him a couple of routine questions about the talks in Lisbon. Then Ivan prompted him to ask the question they’d been wondering about all night.

“Where are you right now, Mr. President?”

“I’m in Lukavica,” Izetbegović replied.

There was a collective gasp in the conference room. Every Bosniak living in Sarajevo knew that the Serbs’ most important military headquarters, the place where they planned all their attacks, was in Lukavica. The president had fallen into enemy hands.

In a voice that trembled slightly, the speaker asked a follow-up question. “In what capacity are you there, Mr. President?”

“It would appear that I have been kidnapped.”
