Beautiful Sarajevo, Old Town | Bosnia & Herzegovina
A few images from my recent trip to Sarajevo Old Town (Bosnian pronunciation: Stari Grad], a municipality in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the oldest and most historically significant part of Sarajevo. Images include the Latin Bridge, Cathedral of Sacred Jesus Hearth, chess players in Liberation Square, the Multicultural Man Builds the World sculpture by Italian artist Francesco Perilli, Congregational Church of the Holy Mother, Eternal Flame Memorial, National & University Library, Sarajevo Clock Tower, Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque, Kazandžiluk street (Coppersmith's street), and Baščaršija, Sarajevo's old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city.
Sarajevo is a warm and wonderful place to visit, make sure you put it on your bucket list...

BOSNIA: SARAJEVO: SCHOOL BOMB DESIGNED TO PROVOKE TENSION
Serbo-Croat/Nat
An explosion apparently aimed at increasing friction between traditionally Catholic Croats and Muslims rocked a Catholic school in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo early on Saturday.
The device detonated on the stairway of the school's main entrance, damaging the building, knocking down its thick, wooden gate and shattering windows in nearby apartment buildings.
No one was hurt in the blast.
The school custodian said a police patrol spotted a suspicious-looking package in front of the main gate, but it blew up before a bomb squad could arrive to defuse it.
Sarajevo police and the United Nations monitors are investigating the blast.
Although Croats are traditionally Catholic, the school also accepts Muslims and Orthodox Serbs who meet its entrance requirements.
Davor Milosevic, a local representative of the ruling Bosnian Croat party, said the blast was part of a strategy meant to force Croats and Catholics from Sarajevo.
Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic lambasted Sarajevo and federal authorities for not being able to protect Catholic and Croat property, and find perpetrators of numerous terrorist attacks.
Head of the Sarajevo canton, Midhat Haracic, a Muslim, visited the site of the blast with other civic and police officials, and said the explosion was meant to create unrest in the Bosnian capital.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
This is done by those forces who want to destroy multi-ethnic and multicultural Sarajevo.
SUPER CAPTION: Midhat Haracic, Governor of the Sarajevo canton
Bosnian Co-Prime Minister, Haris Silajdzic, condemned the explosion and said it was another attempt to stop the normalisation of the
country.
The Croatian Embassy in Sarajevo called the bombing another step in a campaign aimed at intimidating Croats and Catholics in Bosnia.
A teacher at the school also condemned the bombing.
SOUNDBITE: (Serbo-Croat)
We are unhappy when we see things like this. We are teaching 1,100 children of all nationalities and giving them the best education that
they can get.
SUPER CAPTION: Sister Maria, Teacher
The explosion was the latest in a series of blasts apparently aimed at rousing antipathy between Muslims and Croats, who are bound together in a federation that extremists on each side oppose.
Dozens of buildings belonging to each side, mainly churches and mosques, have been damaged over the past year.
On September 18th, a car bomb exploded in the Croat section of the divided Bosnian town of Mostar.
It injured about 50 people and caused major damage to a police station and nearby apartment buildings.

Sarajevo: The City and the Siege
It’s the city where East meets West. On Ferhadija street in the heart of Sarajevo, the grand Austro-Hungarian architecture of Christian Europe suddenly gives way to the low roofs and timber frames of the Muslim Ottoman Empire. For centuries, this was the multicultural epicenter of Europe, a city where Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and Orthodox Christians all rubbed shoulders.

Shadow of nationalism raises worries of war in Bosnia
Bosnia and Herzegovina was ripped apart by a three-way ethnic conflict in the 1990s, and some analysts fear it's on the brink again, as rising nationalism and Russian influence lead to growing tensions. Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports with the support from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

Bosnia - Play hightlights women's issues
T/I: 10:13:52
American actresses Glenn Close and Marisa Tomei on Saturday (08/08) joined Bosnian actors in Sarajevo in a production aimed at supporting the rights of women in post-war Bosnia and mobilising resources for women war victims. Before the evening performance, the Americn actresses went to the Suada Dilberovic bridge to throw flowers into the river to commemmorate all women killed in the war. The production, an Eve Ensler Broadway play called Necessary Targets, is an account of women traumatized during the war in the former Yugoslavia.

Predrag Pašić: „Bubamara, the language of sport against hate, Bosnia -- 19.8.2013
Do you want more information on Bosnia Today? Just visit
Do you remember, what you have been up to from April 1992 to February 1996?
In those days I for one finished my diploma thesis on landscape ecology and landscape planning my major field of study. I took up employment with a landscape architect in Munich, gained there my first professional experience, quitted nearly two years later, to go into business for myself, founded finally a landscapearchitect´s office with my associate, where we even today joyful devote our time to fascinating tasks...
How different the life of Predrag Pašić in those days. Predrag Pašić, a top soccer player of the former Yugoslavia, who for example played with Guido Buchwald and Jürgen Klinsmann at VfB Stuttgart, in this period of time stayed in his beloved hometown Sarajevo, as Serbian forces encircled the town and the 300.000 trapped civilians came under fire from mortars and snipers from the surrounding hills -- for 1,425 days! It was the longest siege of the 20th century. 11,000 cilvilians were killed including 1,600 children (at the beginning of this video I stand in front of the monument for killed children during the siege, created by sculptor Mensud Kečo). Imagine enduring in Sarajevo at that time. 1,425 days in a town once prosperous and multicultural, where death and destruction have taken place now, where in terms of figures one out of 27 of your acquaintances, friends or relatives will die by gun or shell fire? In consideration of such a tragedy statistic is useless...
Anyway Predrag Pašić stayed in Sarajevo his beloved town, even though there were enough offers from abroad to get him out and remove to a save place. Not only he stayed. He had decided that at least the children should not become enemies. In 1993 he organised a hall and on radio called up Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian kids and their parents to come to Skenderija hall on May 15th... - to play football there! That day during the siege of Sarajevo Predrag Pašić founded the multi-ethnic ladybird football school „Bubamara for the children of Sarajevo! At that time he and his fellow campaigners had expected 10 to 30 children perhaps. Instead came 200 kids with their parents running over the bridge of the Miljatska river. The Bubamara football school exists even today! „Bubamara brings round to consciousness, what a luck it is to live in peace and how important it is to stand up for human co-existence.
For the first time I have heard about this great story watching Eric Cantona´s documentary „Football Rebels (2012), which ARTE.TV broadcastet 2012. It is about five football legends who used their fame to protest against political conditions in their country or to stand up for a good cause. The part dealing with Predrag Pašić moved me in particular. On my last journey to Bosnia I just phoned Predrag Pašić and met him two hours later indeed. Completely unpretentious there is no warm-up necessary if you talk to Predrag Pašić. As if we would know each other for long, immediately we talked about football and politics extensively. After that without rehearsal he spoke an English and a Bosnian version right in the camera lense, as you can see on YouTube now. Remaining true to his principles and his mission he did not miss to bring up a painful subject particulary with regard to the today´s situation in Sarajevo and concluded with a final speech for the language of sport against hate. Again Predrag Pašić represents the great number of open, cordial and hospitable Bosnians, I had the privilege to meet everywhere in Bosnia.

SUMMARY
=======
Bosnia and Herzegovina ( ( listen) or ; abbreviated B&H; Bosnian and Serbian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) / Боснa и Херцеговина (БиХ), Croatian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH), pronounced [bôsna i xěrtseɡoʋina]), sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina, and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe in the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an almost landlocked country – it has a narrow coast at the Adriatic Sea, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long surrounding the town of Neum. It is bordered by Croatia to the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland, Bosnia, is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.
Bosnia and Herzegovina traces permanent human settlement back to the Neolithic age, during and after which it was populated by several Illyrian and Celtic civilizations. Culturally, politically, and socially, the country has a rich history, having been first settled by the Slavic peoples that populate the area today from the 6th through to the 9th centuries. In the 12th century the Banate of Bosnia was established, which evolved into the Kingdom of Bosnia in the 14th century, after which it was annexed into the Ottoman Empire, under whose rule it remained from the mid-15th to the late 19th centuries. The Ottomans brought Islam to the region, and altered much of the cultural and social outlook of the country. This was followed by annexation into the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which lasted up until World War I. In the interwar period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and after World War II, it was granted full republic status in the newly formed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the republic proclaimed independence in 1992, which was followed by the Bosnian War, lasting until late 1995.
The country is one of the most frequently visited countries in the region, projected to have the third highest tourism growth rate in the world until 2020. Bosnia and Herzegovina is regionally and internationally renowned for its natural environment and cultural heritage inherited from six historical civilizations, its cuisine, winter sports, its eclectic and unique music, architecture and its festivals, some of which are the largest and most prominent of their kind in Southeastern Europe. The country is home to three main ethnic groups or, officially, constituent peoples, as specified in the constitution. Bosniaks are the largest group of the three, with Serbs second and Croats third. A native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, regardless of ethnicity, is usually identified in English as a Bosnian. Minorities, defined under the constitutional nomenclature Others, include Jews, Roma, Poles, Ukrainians and Turks. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a bicameral legislature and a three-member Presidency composed of a member of each major ethnic group. However, the central government's power is highly limited, as the country is largely decentralized and comprises two autonomous entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, with a third region, the Brčko District, governed under local government. The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is complex and consists of 10 cantons.
Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks highly in terms of human development, and has an economy dominated by the industry and agriculture sectors, followed by the tourism and service sectors. The country has a social security and universal healthcare system, and primary- and secondary-level education is tuition-free. It is a member of the UN, OSCE ...

SUMMARY
=======
The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFR Yugoslavia or SFRY) was a country located in Central and Southeastern Europe that existed from its foundation in the aftermath of World War II until its dissolution in 1992 amid the Yugoslav Wars. Covering an area of 255,804 km² (98,766 sq mi), the SFRY was bordered by Italy to the west, Austria and Hungary to the north, Bulgaria and Romania to the east, and Albania and Greece to the south.
It was a socialist state and a federation governed by the League of Communists of Yugoslavia and made up of six socialist republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, and Slovenia with Belgrade as its capital. In addition, it included two autonomous provinces within Serbia: Kosovo and Vojvodina.
The SFRY traces back to 26 November 1942 when the Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia was formed during World War II. On 29 November 1945, the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia was proclaimed after the deposal of King Peter II thus ending the monarchy. Until 1948, the new communist government originally sided with the Eastern bloc under the leadership of Josip Broz Tito at the beginning of the Cold War, but the SFRY pursued a policy of neutrality after the Tito–Stalin split of 1948, became one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement, and transitioned from a planned economy to market socialism.
Following the death of Tito on 4 May 1980, the Yugoslav economy started to collapse, which increased unemployment and inflation. The economic crisis led to a rise in ethnic nationalism in the late 1980s and early 1990s which led to dissidence among the multiple ethnicities within the constituent republics. With the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe, inter-republic talks on transformation of the federation also failed and led to recognition of their independence by some European states in 1991. This led to the federation collapsing along federal borders, followed by the start of the Yugoslav Wars and the final downfall and breakup of the federation on 27 April 1992. Two of its republics, Serbia and Montenegro, remained within the reconstituted Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, but the union was not recognized internationally as the official successor state to the SFRY. The term former Yugoslavia (bivša Jugoslavija/бивша Југославија) is now commonly used retrospectively.
The SFR Yugoslavia maintained neutrality during the Cold War as part of its foreign policy. It was a founding member of CERN, the United Nations, Non-Aligned Movement, OSCE, IFAD, WTO, Eutelsat and BTWC.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of Serbia covers the historical development of Serbia and of its predecessor states, from the early Stone Age to the present state, as well as that of the Serbian people and of the areas they ruled historically. The scope of Serbian habitation and rule has varied much through the ages, and, as a result, the history of Serbia is similarly elastic in what it includes.
Slavs settled the Balkans in the 6th and 7th centuries, out of which settlement the First Serbian Principality of the Vlastimirovići emerged. It evolved into a Grand Principality by the 11th century, and in 1217 the Kingdom and national church (Serbian Orthodox Church) were established, under the Nemanjići. In 1345 the Serbian Empire was established: it spanned a large part of the Balkans. In 1540 the Ottoman Empire annexed Serbia.
The Serbian realms disappeared by the mid-16th century, torn by domestic feuds and overcome by Ottoman conquest. The success of the Serbian revolution against Ottoman rule in 1817 marked the birth of the Principality of Serbia, which achieved de facto independence in 1867 and finally gained recognition by the Great Powers in the Berlin Congress of 1878. As a victor in the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, Serbia regained Vardar Macedonia, Kosovo and Raška (Old Serbia). In late 1918 the region of Vojvodina proclaimed its secession from Austria-Hungary to unite with the pan-Slavic State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs; the Kingdom of Serbia joined the union on 1 December 1918, and the country was named the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes.
Serbia achieved its current borders at the end of World War II, when it became a federal unit within the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia (proclaimed in November 1945). After the dissolution of Yugoslavia in a series of wars in the 1990s, Serbia once again became an independent state on 5 June 2006, following the breakup of a short-lived union with Montenegro.
