This war in the words of Gibney and Hansen (2005, p.190) "lasted from April 1992 to November 1995." It was during this war that Petkovic's parents become separated. In addition to the unrest, religious animosity was a contributing factor in the said separation. Petkovic was left in the care of her mother.
