The 37-year-old actress was being honored for her directorial debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," a love story set during the Bosnian War. Jolie recently discussed Bosnian audiences' reaction to the film, telling The Huffington Post, "The few weeks in Sarajevo was the most extraordinary, moving experience I've ever had."
"This means so much to me. My heart is in this city," said a tearful Jolie on receiving the award from Sarajevo authorities. She arrived with her three children on a private plane.
