Why was Sarajevo the Jerusalem of Europe?

Why did it work? Why did Christians, Jews and Muslims live there peacefully for such a long time?

Nobody in my class answered my question. (Top: Srebrenica massacre commemoration in Sarajevo - summer 2007.)

Let me put this into context: we are talking about conditionality, EU accession as an incentive for "Western Balkans" to reform their justice systems and to bring war criminals to justice and models of democratization. Which models of democratization should be adopted in the region?
