The Bosnian capital is brimming with young people, including
those who arrived from Banja Luka and other towns in Republika
Srpska. The Bosnian railways have secured two trains this morning -
one from Mostar and the other from Maglaj, so that people from those
areas could come to Sarajevo.
By Tuesday morning, 40,000 tickets were sold and it is
expected that the Olympic stadium 'Kosevo' will be full tonight.
The tickets cost 20 DM for Bosnian citizens and 40 DM for all
who arrived from abroad.
The concert starts at 7 pm and U2 are expected to show up on
the stage around 9 pm.
