Kurt Schork (January 24, 1947 – May 24, 2000) was an American reporter and war correspondent.

==Career==
Kurt Schork was born in Washington, D.C.. He graduated from Jamestown College in 1969, and studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar later that year—the same time as future United States President Bill Clinton. Schork worked as a property developer, a political adviser, and then chief of staff for the New York City Transit Authority before becoming a journalist.
Kurt Schork covered numerous conflicts and wars, including The Balkans, and in Iraq, Chechnya, Iraqi Kurdistan, Sri Lanka, and East Timor.
He filed the story ''Romeo and Juliet in Sarajevo'', about a young couple, Boško Brkic and Admira Ismic, an Eastern Orthodox Bosnian Serb and Muslim Bosniak girl killed during the Siege of Sarajevo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CNN - 'Only a bullet' could separate them - Apr. 10, 1996 )〕 Admira's and Boško's relationship defied the ethnic hatred which followed the breakup of the former Yugoslavia. After being shot and killed by a sniper while attempting to flee the area, their bodies remained unreachable on a bridge in no man's land for eight days as the war raged on. They became known as Romeo and Juliet as the story of their unshakable love emerged. Before they made the decision to flee, as Boško was wanted by the police (due to his ethnic background), the young couple were serving as surrogate parents to the young sons of Admira's cousin, Brana, who was killed in Sarajevo by a 60-millimeter shell while putting her sons to sleep. Boško's decision to flee with Admira was influenced by the fact that his grandfather was summoned in Croatia to a police station by pro-Hitler Fascists during World War II and never seen again.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FRONTLINE: previous reports: transcripts: romeo and juliet in sarajevo - PBS )〕
