An elderly Bosnian man who lived on the outskirts of sarajevo went to his local church for confession. When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional box, the man said:
"Father, during the Balkan war in the 90s , an incredibly beautiful young Slav woman from our neighbourhood knocked urgently on my door and asked me to hide her from the Serbian militia. So I hid her in my attic."
The priest replied: "That was a wonderful thing you did, and you have no need to confess that."
The man continued: "There is more to tell, Father. She started to repay me with sexual favours. This happened several times a week, and sometimes twice on Sundays."
The priest said, "That was quite a long time ago and by doing what you did, you placed the two of you in great danger, but two people under those circumstances can easily succumb to the weakness of the flesh. However, if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are indeed forgiven."
"Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. I do have one more question."
"And what is that ?" asked the priest.......
"Should I tell her the war is over ?"
