今年2月底我在贝尔格莱德新闻部大楼办理联合国维和部队记者证时,被办公室里的一堵“名片墙”给深深吸引了。墙上1米多见方的地方贴满了各国记者在此办证时留下的名片,粗粗一算竟有400多张。3月中旬我辗转至克罗地亚首都萨格勒布市采访,在联合国维和部队总部的新闻办公室里了解到,在此办证的外国记者已逾800人,而陆续前来办证的人仍是不断。也就是说,为采访前南斯拉夫地区冲突而在最近3年到过巴尔干半岛的外国记者已在千人以上! At the end of February this year, when I handled the UN peacekeeping forces press card in the Belgrade Department of Public Information building, I was deeply attracted by a “business card wall” in the office. More than a square meter wall on the place covered with foreign journalists left in this card business cards, roughly as many as 400 sheets. In mid-March, I went to Zagreb in the Croatian capital for an interview. At the press office at the UN peacekeeping headquarters, I learned that more than 800 foreign journalists have been registered there and that there are still a few people who come to apply in succession. In other words, more than 1,000 foreign journalists have been to the Balkans in the last three years to interview the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia.
