Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the way in which intertextuality correlates with the poetics of testimony in Sarajevo war prose. The purpose of this research was to establish how internationally recognized authors were intertextualized in war prose. Attempting to answer the question as to what meaning a quotation acquires in the poetics of testimony, the article provides quotations of world-known authors like Paul Celan, George Orwell and Mikhail Bulgakov and sheds light on their relations with Marko Vešović, Semezdin Mehmedinović and Tvrtko Kulenović.
