Pedestrians in the city's main intersection scurried alongside French APC's (armoured personnel carrier) to protect themselves from stray bullets.
Two French peacekeepers were injured.
Anyone or anything caught in the crossfire is a target.
Cars passing through the intersection were immediately abandoned and promptly struck and bullets collected as souvenirs.
U-N soldiers have been deployed to the intersection in the last week to protect people trying to go about their normal routines.
At the same time- plumes of smoke floated above the hills around Sarajevo as the Bosnian Army and Bosnian Serbs exchanged heavy artillery and machine gun fire.
Fighting appeared concentrated around Debelo Brdo hillside south of downtown Sarajevo.
