The Goat´s Bridge ( Kozija or Kozja ćuprija ) is an Ottoman stone arch bridge over the Miljacka river about two kilometers east of the old town of Sarajevo. The bridge is located upstream of the Bescarsija in the narrow valley of the river.
The one- arch bridge is located at the junction of ancient trade route that linked Central Europe with Konstantin Opel . The later as Bosanska džada designated road used here the valleys of Miljacka , Praca and Drina as natural corridors . After the conquest of Bosnia by the Ottoman Empire and in the wake of the rise of Sarajevo to the political and economic center and the old trade route was expanded. In Sarajevo alone created 13 new bridges, five of them from stone. The Goat Bridge is one of four Ottoman bridges, which have been preserved to this day in the city of Sarajevo.
It is assumed that the goat bridge - as well as the more famous bridge on the Drina in Visegrad further east - was built in the reign of Sokollu Mehmed Pasha , probably in the second half of the 1570s . An inscription near the bridge suggests that. However, the earliest known mention of the goat bridge dates from the year 1771st
In the Ottoman period the bridge marked the eastern entrance to Sarajevo. Departing and returning viziers and pilgrims have been adopted here and ready to collect.
Today, a hiking and biking trail leads from the Vijecnica in the city center on the Miljacka river to the goat bridge. The path is used by the inhabitants of Sarajevo like Desk . As a road connecting the goats Bridge no longer plays a role.
The bridge has a length of 42 meters and a width of 4.75 meters. The span of the arch is 17.5 meters .
The name Goat Bridge was , according to legend by all taking place in the vicinity of large cattle market where goats have been sold , is derived.

When the bridge sleeps

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: MAJOR BRIDGE RE-OPENS

Serbo-Croat/Nat

While Balkan leaders gather in the United States for peace talks, Bosnians continue to struggle with the vulnerable state of ceasefire.

Residents of war-torn Sarajevo made progress Wednesday however, when a major bridge reopened allowing people to cross.

Civilians are finally able to cross the Brotherhood and Unity bridge in Sarajevo.

The reopening of the bridge took several days of complicated negotiations. Bosnian government and Bosnian Serb authorities struggled over who would eventually control it.

Residents however, are more concerned with the bridge than the political problems.

SOUNDBITE Serbo-Croat:
I'm very happy because of this. We have to have communication among ourselves and people have to be reunited with their families.

The bridge links the Serb held suburb of Grbaviska and a government held area.

UN soldiers are escorting the first people across the bridge. They are armed in case snipers decide to open fire.

SOUNDBITE French:
We're try to make today across 18 people. thirteen from the Serbian side and five from the Bosnian side.

One of the subjects to be discussed in Dayton, Ohio between the Bosnian Serb and Bosnian government delegations is who will control Sarajevo.

BAŠ-ČARŠIJA - S A R A J E V O - OLD TOWN ( 1462 - 2014) EPP

HAN ISA-BEGA ISHAKOVIĆA
Baščaršija (pronounced [baʃ.tʃǎr.ʃi.ja]) is Sarajevo's old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city. Baščaršija was built in the 15th century when Isa-Beg Isaković founded the town. The word Baščaršija derives from the Turkish language. The word baš which is baş in Turkish literally means head, in some contexts however also primary, main, capital and čaršija which is çarşı in Turkish means bazaar or market. Due to the large fire in the 19th century, today Baščaršija is half the size that it once was.
Baščaršija is located on the north bank of the river Miljacka, in the municipality of Stari Grad. On Baščaršija there are several important historic buildings, such as the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and sahat-kula. Today Baščaršija is the major tourist attraction of Sarajevo.
Before the arrival of the Ottomans in the largest settlement on Sarajevo field was the village square Tornik, which was located at the crossroad of the roads where today is the Ali Pasha's Mosque. Baščaršija was built in 1462 when Isa-Beg Isaković built the Ishaković han, in addition to its many shops. At that time, most of the inhabitants of Sarajevo lived in the vicinity of the Emperor's Mosque. Therefore, Isa-Beg Isaković built a bridge across the Miljacka to focus the main Sarajevo suburb and a new economic center of the city, Baščaršija.
Around the main entrance, the Bazerdžani čaršija was formed. The čaršija Kazaz is situated to the west, and to the north sit both the čaršija Sedlar and Sarača. The most significant buildings constructed during this period are the mosques. Baščaršija's famous mosque was built by Havedža Durak in 1528, and Gazi Husrev-beg built his mosque in 1530.
Gazi Husrev-Beg raises a madrassa, a library, a haniqah, the Gazi Husrev-Beg Hamam, the Gazi Husrev-Beg bezistan, the Morića Han, sahat-kula and other tourist attractions in Baščaršija. Gazi Husrev-Beg was buried in the harem of his mosque, beside the harem is the Türbe of his freed slave and the first mutevelija of his vakuf Murat-beg Tardić.
At this time a number of commercial facilities was built, such as bezistans, hans, and caravanserais. Sarajevo was an important center of trade in the Balkans and had three bezistans (today the Gazi Husrev-Beg and Brusa bezistans are still standing). There were colonies of Venetian and Ragusan traders, and Baščaršija had approximately 12,000 commercial and craft shops. After the earthquake in 1640 and several fires in 1644 and 1656, Sarajevo was 1697 burned and devastated by the troops of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Travel writer Evliya Çelebi wrote: The čaršija has in everything, one thousand and eighty stores that are a model of beauty. The čaršija is very attractive and built according to plan.
The city of Sarajevo didn't еxpand significantly until the 19th century. With the Austro-Hungarian occupation in 1878, foreign architects wanted to re-build Sarajevo into a modern European city. A fire contributed to this process; it destroyed parts of the Stari Grad, and that is how the well-known boundary between Baščaršija and the street Ferhadija was made.
During the Anti-Serb riots of Sarajevo in June 1914, violent mobs looted and vandalized several Serb-owned shops in Baščaršija as well as other parts of the city.
With the liberation of Sarajevo in 1945 after the Second World War, a committee decided that the market should be gradually demolished, believing that it had no role in a modern city. However, the plans were cancelled, and the buildings were left standing.

The Legend of Goat's Bridge

The following legend was recorded on June 25, 2017, in the valley below Goat's Bridge, just east of Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

BiH, Sarajevo. Route to Goat Bridge at winter, while it snows.

Bosnia: A Fruit Producer

This film tells the story of how a small cross-community venture grew into what it managers say is Bosnia's biggest farming cooperative.

The Vocar Zvornik was conceived in 2002, at a time when Bosniak refugees were still coming back to the Zvornik area of northeast Bosnia. It was started by five Serbs and five Bosniaks.

As one of the first Serb farmers to join, Dragoljub Vukotic, recalled, The first time they called me and asked whether I wanted to join the cooperative, I had to talk to people to check whether I could, because I was afraid someone would set my house on fire.

The venture found acceptance across both communities, however, because the farmers involved were seen as upstanding, respected figures.

The cooperative was a light at the end of the tunnel. It helped people survive, Memsur Galjic, a Bosnika who is now deputy director of Vocar Zvornik, said. We were a country that had just come out of a war and there were no jobs around.... It meant that we returnees now had an opportunity to earn our first income since the 1990s.

Although most of those who initially signed up were returning Bosniaks in need of an income, they were soon joined by Serbs. The cooperative has now expanded beyond Zvornik into most of northeastern Bosnia, with 1,000 members and a management team consisting of three Bosniaks and three Serbs.

The cooperative started by focusing on fast-maturing crops like gherkins which would earn quick money for needy households, but these days it covers a wide range including slower-growing fruit trees.

It still offers its members a high level of support, ensuring they have the seed and other inputs they need for the season, and then buying and marketing their crops for them.

This film was produced as part of the Ordinary Heroes project, funded by the Norwegian Embassy in Sarajevo. IWPR is implementing the project in partnership with the Post-Conflict Research Centre in Sarajevo.

Legend of Goat's Bridge (Version 2)

The following legend was recorded on June 25, 2017, while standing on Goat's Bridge, just east of Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Bosnia's Magnificent Looping Bridge

Festina Lente is a looping bridge in Sarajevo designed by three Bosnian product design students—Adnan Alagić, Bojan Kanlić, and Amila Hrustić. Located right outside the Academy of Fine Arts, the trio of former students first conceptualized the design for the bridge five years ago. After winning a competition, construction began on the innovative structure that now sits at 38 meters long over the Miljacka river.

The looping bridge includes two seating areas within the loop-de-loop area, inviting pedestrians to sit, socialize, and take in the surrounding environment. Adding to the aesthetic charm of the connecting bridge are LED lights that line it, illuminating the flowing river below and the night sky above.

The creatively designed overpass features modern design choices that echo themes of the university's rich history that are both secular and spiritual in nature. While at present day the steel bridge leads to an educational institution, the academy was once a church. The designers say, Crossing the bridge is a unique experience because of its specific layout and the views that we encounter when going through the gate (the closed part of the bridge), preparing us to enter into another dimension and awake spirituality.
