Long Lost Twin Brothers Find They Have Nothing in Common

Kikinda, Serbia: When Pierre Bonfils ended his lifelong journey to reunite with his twin brother he never thought of the paradox he might encounter.

As an orphan of the Croatian War, Bonfils displacement sent him to a French adoption center where he found a home with a wealthy family.

Igor Kovacevic stayed behind in his homeland to operate as a child soldier. His adult life chiseled from the horrors of ethnic cleansing that tore Yugoslavia apart.

“I spent a lot of time and effort to find Igor. Not to mention money on bribes after entering my home country. What I found, has stunned me, this person would be me if the refinements of my upbringing were removed.” Said Bonfils through an interpreter.

“Conceited bastard ain’t he. I said rent a bike and he gets a fucking bicycle.” Said Kovacevic through an interpreter.
