BOSNIA: SOLDIERS EVACUATED AS FLOODS DESTROY MOSTAR BASE UPDATE

(27 Dec 1995) Natural Sound
French Foreign Legion soldiers have been evacuated from their base near Mostar in southwestern Bosnia after a dam burst, engulfing their camp in raging torrents of water.
Heavy rainfall had caused the River Neretva to rise to dangerous levels, bursting one dam threatening to break a second.
Sixty two soldiers have been evacuated by helicopter.
An Italian serving with the European Union police force in Mostar was killed when he lost control of his vehicle on a flooded road.
The floodwaters brought on by heavy rain broke through a dam at a hydro-electric plant north of Mostar.
Officials said two-thousand cubic meters of water were flowing over the dam per second, and water levels were fifteen metres above average.
A second dam is now under threat which could trigger major flooding throughout the area.
A state of emergency has been declared in the city, as water levels continue to rise.
Dozens of French military tents near the Neretva were covered by a wave of water, only their tops visible above the torrent that rose about eight hundred metres (yards) over its banks.
An Italian police officer with the European Union police force in Mostar, 37-year-old Major Ermanno Fenoglietti, was killed in a car crash, when he lost control of his jeep on a flooded road.
The French Foreign Legion stationed at Vrapcici, four kilometres from Mostar was evacuated in time, with no reported injuries.
Troops had to be lifted out by helicopter as all access to roads was cut off.
Officials have warned of a potential disaster if the second dam bursts.
Several hundred people from villages south of Mostar are also in the process of being evacuated from their homes.
In Mostar, the Neretva swept away two of three footbridges, which form the only link between the divided town which is controlled by Croats on one side and by Muslims on the other.
The main road between Mostar and Sarajevo, the Bosnian capital, has also been washed out.
The French troops are being accommodated at a makeshift camp at the NATO-controlled Mostar airfield.

Bosnia - Bosnian Soldiers Withdraw From Barracks

T/I: 10:13:18


Bosnian soldiers began to withdraw from the giant Tito barracks in the centre of Sarajevo on Wednesday (20/3), several hours after the country's formal division into separate entities. Hundreds of troops packed bedding and equipment throughout the night in preparation for the move away from the two-kilometre exclusion zone defined under the Dayton treaty. The infamous Jewish Cemetary area, scene of fierce fighting over the last four years, is now eerily still. Children play in the area despite the danger of thousands of unexploded mines.

Infiltration: Exploring forgotten Bosnian monuments and abandoned war architecture part 1

The first part of the first episode of our new video series called Infiltration. The idea is to travel each month to a different destination and do a travel/educational documentary on forgotten and abandoned locations. Please note that this was completely independently funded, all the gear and tools are our own.

The footage was filmed in a very short period of 5 days at the end of December 2018. The focus was on Yugoslavian monuments or popularly called spomeniks, old memorial sites and war installations as well as a general feel and culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was a masterclass in teaching ourselves some filming techniques. Along the way, we met interesting people, enjoyed some seriously delicious food and visited historical sites that may or may not be abandoned in a way you think.

Another one of the interesting things you'll see in this video is the abandoned Yugoslavian nuclear bunker of Broz Tito with a guide explaining how it was used back in the day.

6 Places in 10 Hours (Sarajevo, Konjic, Jablanica, Mostar, Kravica, Blagaj)

Had a day off in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Took the chance to go on a road trip to Mostar, a small city in the south of Bosnia and Herzegovina, straddling the Neretva River. It’s known for the iconic Stari Most (Old Bridge), a reconstructed medieval arched bridge. Left the hotel around 8AM. Along side this trip, we went to different places where we passed by. First stop was Konjic, went out of the car to feel the fresh air and stretched as this trip is a long one. Next was Jablanica. Quick history of this place, during the Battle of the Neretva in 1943, Jablanica was the site of a successful raid by a group of Partisans led by Josip Broz Tito. A rail bridge over the river was blown up while a train was in the middle of crossing. There is a park and monument commemorating this action at the site. The bridge section and the locomotive which can still be seen in the river gorge are the remains of a film set depicting the battle, from the 1960s. One of my favorite place was the Kravica Waterfalls. Kravica waterfall, often erroneously called Kravice, is a large tufa cascade on the Trebižat River, in the karstic heartland of Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is 10 kilometres (6 mi) south of Ljubuški and 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of Mostar. To end our trip, we drove to Blagaj, a village-town in the south-eastern region of the Mostar basin, in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Blagaj is situated at the spring of the Buna river and a historical tekke (tekija or Dervish monastery).

Dubrovnik and Balkan Side Trips

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide | Nestled inside its mighty ramparts is Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic. From this remarkably preserved medieval fortress city, we venture into less-touristed corners of the former Yugoslavia. In Bosnia-Herzegovina, we visit Mostar — war-torn in the '90s, but bursting with promise today. In Montenegro, we sail the fjord-like Bay of Kotor and explore its mysterious, mountainous interior.

Balkan Tour Part2 (Split,Mostar,Podgorica)

Split: Is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia, with about 200,000 people living in its urban area. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and is spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings. An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is linked to the Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula.
Home to Diocletian's Palace, built for the Roman emperor in 305 CE, the city was founded as the Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) in the 3rd or 2nd century BC. It became a prominent settlement around 650 CE when it succeeded the ancient capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia, Salona.

Μοstar: Is a city and the administrative center of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, an entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inhabited by 105,797 people, it is the most important city in the Herzegovina region, serving as its cultural and economic capital.
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks, and is considered one of the most exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.

Podgorica:is the capital and largest city of Montenegro.
Between 1946 and 1992 – in the period that Montenegro formed, as the Socialist Republic of Montenegro, part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY) – the city was known as Titograd in honour of Josip Broz Tito.
Podgorica's favourable position at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers and at the meeting-point of the fertile Zeta Plain and Bjelopavlići Valley has encouraged settlement. The city is close to winter ski-ing centres in the north and to seaside resorts on the Adriatic Sea.

CROATIA: KEY BRIDGE IS DAMAGED

Natural Sound

A key bridge linking Croatia and Serb-held northern Bosnia has been severely damaged in an explosion which killed one Croatian soldier and wounded three others.

It's not clear what caused the blast on the bridge over the Sava River.

But damage to it will hamper Serb attempts to regain a part of Croatia overrun by Croat forces at the beginning of May.

Many people were reported injured by splintering glass in Bosanska Gradisca across the border.

Croat sources claimed an explosive charge on the bridge has been detonated by lightning during heavy rain.

They said explosives had been placed on the bridge to prevent a possible Bosnian Serb breakthrough.

The bridge has been under Croatian control since the region of
western Slavonia was recaptured from secessionist Serbs in a May offensive by the Croatian army.

Serbs claimed that just across the river in Bosnia dozens of people were injured by splintering glass because of the explosion.

Members of the UN Nepalese battalion based in the area were prevented by the Croats from approaching the bridge

The bridge was the only remaining link between Croatia and Serb-held northern Bosnia. It was used for U-N convoys carrying Serb civilians who wish to leave western Slavonia.

Mostar (Bosnia Erzegovina) e il suo ponte - Estate 2011 - By Becco travels

Fondata nel tardo XV secolo dai turchi ottomani, Mostar era il centro amministrativo dell'impero nella regione dell'Erzegovina. L'Impero Austro-Ungarico annesse Mostar nel 1878. Dopo la I guerra mondiale la città a partire del 29 ottobre 1918 divenne parte dello Stato degli Sloveni, dei Croati e dei Serbi (DSHS), con la capitale a Zagabria, e quando questo il 1º dicembre 1918 fu unito al Regno di Serbia, fu formato un nuovo stato unitario, detto Regno dei Serbi, dei Croati e degli Sloveni (KSHS), denominato più tardi Regno di Jugoslavia. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale la città fece parte, come il resto dei territori dell'attuale Bosnia-Erzegovina, dello Stato Indipendente di Croazia, controllato dai nazifascisti.

Dopo la seconda guerra mondiale la città entrò a far parte della Repubblica Popolare di Bosnia ed Erzegovina, che fu una delle sei repubbliche che componevano la Repubblica Socialista Federale di Jugoslavia. In quegli anni furono costruite varie dighe per sfruttare l'energia idroelettrica della Narenta.

Tra il 1992 e 1993, dopo che la Bosnia ed Erzegovina in seguito ad un referendum popolare in base all'allora vigente Costituzione della Jugoslavia di Tito dichiarò l'indipendenza, la città fu soggetta ai bombardamenti e ad un assedio lungo nove mesi.

Le truppe serbe e montenegrine, appoggiate dall'Esercito Popolare Jugoslavo (JNA), bombardarono per la prima volta Mostar il 3 aprile 1992 e nelle settimane successive presero il controllo di gran parte della città. Oltre a causare immense sofferenze alle popolazioni locali, i tiri d'artiglieria danneggiarono o distrussero diversi bersagli civili. Tra questi ci furono un monastero cattolico, quello dei francescani, OFM, la locale cattedrale cattolica della Beata Vergine, Madre della Chiesa, il palazzo del vescovo cattolico con l'annessa biblioteca di 50.000 volumi, come pure vari luoghi di culto musulmani (la moschea di Karadžoz-beg, quella di Roznamed-ij-Ibrahim-efendija e dodici altre).

Pochi giorni dopo l'attacco subito, l'8 aprile, i croati d'Erzegovina insieme ai bosniaci musulmani formarono il Consiglio di Difesa Croato (Hrvatsko Vijeće Obrane, HVO) per affrontare le truppe serbe e montenegrine e l'Esercito Popolare Jugoslavo. Più tardi, in quello stesso anno venne fondato a Mostar pure il IV Corpo dell'Esercito della Bosnia ed Erzegovina (Armija Bosne i Hercegovine), principale formazione militare dei bosniaci musulmani.

Il 12 giugno le forze dell'HVO, assieme a formazioni più piccole composte da bosniaci, ammassarono abbastanza uomini e armi da costringere le truppe serbe e montenegrine e quelle del JNA a uscire da Mostar. Durante l'assedio che ne seguì, la città continuò ad essere bombardata da postazioni sulle montagne ad est, rimaste in mano delle truppe serbe e montenegrine e del JNA.
Monumento Nacional - Muslibegovica House

Nel 1993, i croati bosniaci e i bosniaci musulmani cominciarono una lunga lotta per il controllo di Mostar. I croati lanciarono un'offensiva il 9 maggio durante la quale bombardarono senza tregua il quartiere musulmano, riducendolo in gran parte in rovina, comprese numerose moschee e case del periodo ottomano. Durante la guerra i croati crearono dei campi di concentramento per i musulmani e lo stesso fecero i musulmani per i croati.

Il ponte di pietra del XVI secolo fu distrutto il 9 novembre dal fuoco di un mortaio croato. Nel 2004 ne è stata completata la ricostruzione, contestuale al recupero dell'intera città vecchia, che è stata iscritta dall'UNESCO nella lista dei siti dichiarati Patrimonio dell'umanità.

Un cessate il fuoco fu firmato il 25 febbraio 1994. La città rimase divisa tra croati e bosniaci, e solo nel 1996 fu ristabilita la libera circolazione da una parte all'altra della città.

Kakva izletišta nudi okolina Mostara? – City televizija

Mostarska izletišta nakratko su oživjela za praznik rada. Već naredni dan, pa tako i danas ova mjesta su pusta, a na nekima od njh još uvijek nije očišćen otpad koji je ostao iza izletnika. Buna, Goranci, Rujište samo su neka od izletničkih destinacija i nude neprocjenjiv potencijal koji bi osim lokalnog stanovništva mogao privući i strane turiste. Uprkos tome, strani turisti rijetko dolaze na ova mjesta, glavni fokus njihovog interesovanja još uvijek je Stari Most i stara gradska jezgra.
