ResumoTwenty years ago, at the height of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), I and Zoran Ridjanovic decided to launch the first journal of medical informatics in Southeast Europe (1, 2, 3).The difficult decision gave birth to a medium of science communication, which turned out to be a 'wonder of Sarajevo'.The city was then under siege, which put people in coma for 1479 days.There were no electricity, safe drinking water, food, firewood, and logistics for printing.A package of blank papers for reproduction of 500 sheets costed nearly 30 Euros.This was considered as a scientific curiosity at European and global conferences on medical informatics (2).The circulation of Acta Informatica Medica during the war was roughly 50 copies, printed on a primitive copy-machine and compiled on the hybrid PC XT
