Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt arrived here to attend the premiere of her directorial debut film "In the Land of Blood and Honey," which was screened in a sports hall before an audience of some 5,000 people.
Greeted with standing ovations, Jolie broke in tears when she got on the stage after the screening.
"To see you receiving it so well means a world to me. I feel so deep for all of you in this country," said Jolie, dressed in a long black dress, with a brief "Thank you" in Bosnian.
Earlier, Jolie said she was "satisfied" with the film, a story of a Muslim woman and a Serb man who have a fling before Bosnia's 1992-1995 war only to meet again when the woman is a prisoner in a unit of the Bosnian Serb army commanded by her former lover. (AFP)
