Inela Nogi%C4%87

Inela Nogi became worldfamous during the Siege of Sarajevo when she won the 1993 Miss Besieged Sarajevo beauty pageant, which was held in a basement in an effort to avoid the barrage of sniper attacks from Serb militias. Nogi and the other contestants held up a banner that read Dont let them kill us. The pageant was documented by an amateur filmmaker, whose footage director Bill Carter then used in his documentary Miss Sarajevo. The documentary was broadcast internationally, provoking a viewer response that added to the international pressure to end the siege. Footage of the documentary was incorporated into the single Miss Sarajevo by the Irish band U2 together with Brian Eno and the Italian opera singer Luciano Pavarotti. Nogi also featured on the cover of the single, taken during the pageant.
