"It is a really big thing for me, it means a lot to me, that people know that we are not guilty for what our son did."

New neighbors here claim the Talovic family is not acting the way most people here do. They do not go out, and they don't communicate much with others.

"A few days after they came, I tried to talk to them, to introduce myself," said one of the neighbors. "It was a really strange conversation. It was really short; we are not accustomed to that. It is the tradition here, that neighbors visiting door-to-door is more important than family, but it was not like that.

"Suljo tried to explain that they could not live under the pressure of the local media, and decided to come back."

Relatives of the Talovic family in the village of Talovici, near Srebrenica, told us that they were really surprised when they heard about the return. They said they could not understand why Suljo decided not to come back to Talovici.

With employment problems, many people in Talovici are dependent on humanitarian aid and money that their relatives send from the United States or Switzerland. Besides not understanding why they didn't return to Talovici, nobody can believe they decided to leave America.

"United States are the dream for every one of us," said Vahidin, a relative of Suljo's in Talovici.

"A few days after they came back, my father visited them in Dubnica. Suljo explained to him that he is planning to live in Talovici during the summer. He also claimed that one day he will go back to the U.S.A."

After Slobodna Bosna published an article about the family's return to Bosnia, many people discussed it on Internet chat rooms.
