City Bakery
"Our slogan was: ‘There must be bread’."
The city bakery, which was the citizens’ only source of bread, was continually shelled and a part of its equipment was destroyed. Besides being shelled, it also lacked electricity and gas and besides energy supply it often lacked flour, yeast and water. The distribution of bread was also made difficult by the shelling and a lack of fuel for the trucks. In spite of the difficulties December 27, 1995 marked the day when the Bakery produced its one millionth loaf of bread for the citizens of the besieged city.

Sarajevo citizens: In their own words
“Our slogan was ‘There must be bread’ and we knew that the only food that could be bought, acquired in Sarajevo at that time, was bread. We knew, we were very responsible, disciplined, and we used every moment we had to make as much bread as we could because we knew that all of Sarajevo depended on the City Bakery-Velepekara.”
- Kemal Mešak, City Bakery
“For one New Year we agreed to produce the maximum and give people a double amount on New Year’s Eve. Although we didn’t have any electricity then, or gas, we managed to produce a double amount in two days, on 30 and 31 December, to produce as many as 139,500 loaves of bread in one day, which was a record.”
- Enver Kazazić, Director of the Klas Company
“Until then we didn’t have gas ovens for bread, because we didn’t have a burner. We knew that the Medical School had a burner and with the help of the City Council the burner was dismantled and placed on our bread line so that we could bake bread even when there was no oil, and later we moved in another burner. We made a combination with gas, so that we could work even when there was no oil.”
- Kemal Mešak, City Bakery
