You might not have ever been to Bosnia but you could have seen movies
directed by Emir Kusturica who is a Serbian director of a Bosnian
origin. His 1998 Yugoslav Romantic comedy film 'Black Cat, White Cat' is
considered by many one of the best comedies. He also directed other
movies devoted to the Balcan problem as the fate of his Motherland
worried him a lot. Let's make a journey into Bosnia, a country that can
make you fall in love with it!
Living conditions of the Bosnian people. The apartment blocks look nice and cozy.
The center of Sarajevo can be reached following the long road with tram lines in the middle.
It may be not that easy to find a hotel as well as a paid parking lot.
A three star hotel with breakfast, Internet and parking lot can cost you 40 Euro a day.
Today there is a strong connection between Bosnia and Turkey. Turkish
Airlines and Air Bosnia make 14 flights a week from Istanbul to Sarajevo
and from Sarajevo to Istanbul.
Sarajevo still has much in common with other European cities.
The city has a plenty of orthodox and catholic churches, mosques and
synagogues. It seems strange how people belonging to different
confessions and living together for ages could start a murderous war at
once.
Sarajevo has seen even more global conflicts shared not only by
countries of the former Yugoslavia but many other countries as well. On
28 June 1914, Gavrilo Princip participated in the assassination in
Sarajevo of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand which led to beginning
of World War I. The assassination attempt was made several meters away
from the bridge.
The LP guide has a small page devoted to Sarajevo roses. It's true to life as roses here grow everywhere.
The semi-destructed church looked interesting.
Travnik is a beautiful city with a magnificent temple on the top of the mountain.
Cows are feeding on the hills reminding of Switzerland.
An area called Plava Voda is one of the central places in Travnik where restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops are situated.
Donji Vakuf is a small town with a clock-tower and a beautiful mosque.
Jaice is famous with its waterfall and ancient fortress.
