Pope Francis has celebrated Mass in Sarajevo

The pontiff's visit to the capital, Sarajevo, is aimed at promoting peace and reconciliation across the country. The Pope is also meeting members of the Muslim, Orthodox Christian and Jewish communities during his one-day trip. Bosnia remains divided along religious and ethnic lines, 20 years after its civil war which depleted the Catholic population.
"War never again!" Pope Francis urged in his homily before 65,000 worshippers at Sarajevo's Kosevo stadium.
