Are there any contemporary diaries about the Yugoslav Wars?

I think you are looking for a war journal written by a good writer. I am not aware of one, and haven't read the ones listed below. I am posting them as the result of a quick search on the internet in English, Serbian and Croatian. I hope to find others in time, which I will post here.

Beside the ones in English mentioned in comment ( Sarajevo: A War Journal by Zlatko Dizdarevic, Zlata's Diary by Zlata Filipović) I have tried a search in Serbian and Croatian (the results seem all Serbian and some might present a pro-Serbian position close to propaganda).

The Journal of a war surgeon – dr Miodrag Lazic, in Sarajevo, also in English.

Ratni dnevnik, Pale 1993-1995 by Jeni Ligtenberg, just in Serbian, the journal of a Dutch pharmacist that worked in a hospital in Pale.

Also in Serbian War diary of a Sarajevo priest by Dragomir Ubiparipović.
