As America pays tribute to the innocent victims of the<\/em><\/strong> September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks<\/a><\/em><\/strong> on New York and Washington, Serbs around the world respectfully remember Vladimir Toma\u0161evi\u0107 and Bojan Kosti\u0107, two young men from Belgrade who were killed that day in the attack on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bojan Kosti\u0107 was on the 104th floor in the offices of brokerage firm \u201cCantor Fitzgerald\u201d when the hijacked plane made its first impact on the World Trade Center. One minute after the devastating explosion, he called his Swedish fianc\u00e9e Suzan and left her a message on her answering machine: \u201cThe plane hit the building, we will try to evacuate.\u201d His body was never found, and Bojan Kosti\u0107, along with thousands of others missing in the rubble of the World Trade Center, was declared dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bojan Kosti\u0107 was born in 1968 in Belgrade<\/a>, where he attended elementary school and high school. As one of the highly talented young players in Partizan\u2019s basketball school, he received a scholarship to the University of Iowa. He played basketball and studied there, but after suffering a serious injury, he was forced to end his sports career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vladimir Toma\u0161evi\u0107, who lived in Canada with his wife Tanja, arrived in New York on that fateful September 11, 2001, to attend an information technology seminar. At the time of the Al-Qaeda terrorist attack, he was in the premises known as \u201cWindows on the World,\u201d on the top floor of one of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vladimir Toma\u0161evi\u0107 was born on January 25, 1965, in Kosovo and Metohija<\/a>. At an early age, as a four-year-old boy, he moved to Belgrade with his parents and younger sister Jelena, where he graduated from the School of Electrical Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Canada, he worked on software development. He quickly advanced in his career and was appointed vice president of the company \u201cOptus Business Solutions.\u201d One year after the terrorist attack, while publishing biographies of the victims, The New York Times wrote about Vladimir Toma\u0161evi\u0107 on June 16, 2002, that he was a man who \u201calways knew how to give compliments to others.\u201d He lived with his wife Tanja in Toronto and enjoyed playing tennis and golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believing that it would not be possible to find the remains of all the victims, New York City authorities, following the terrorist attack, offered the victims\u2019 families urns containing ashes from the ruins of the destroyed Twin Towers. Vladimir Toma\u0161evi\u0107\u2019s parents accepted the offer and placed the urn that arrived from America<\/a> at Top\u010dider Cemetery in Belgrade, and later additional body parts were recovered. Vladimir\u2019s remains were buried on September 11, 2008, in Belgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
