Agencija Sa Povjerenjem BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Vodimo Vas putevima otomanskog carstva Upoznajte Bosnu i Hercegovinu Golden tours - agencija sa povjerenjem BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Bosnia & Herzegovina is a country situated within southern eastern part of Europe at western part of the Balkan Peninsula. Northern, western and southern parts of Bosnia & Herzegovina are bordering with Republic of Croatia and eastern part with Republic of Serbia and Monte Negro. The capitol of Bosnia & Herzegovina is city of Sarajevo. After fallen of ex – Yugoslavia, on 05th of April 1992, Bosnia & Her- zegovina declared its independency. According to certain statistical data (new census list is expected to be available until 2014) around 3,950,000 citizens are living and habituating in Bosnia & Herzegovina. During first several centuries of the new era, Bosnia & Herzegovina was a part of the Roman Em- pire. After fallen of Roman Empire, both Byzantine Empire and western successors of Roman Em- pire claimed Bosnia & Herzegovina territory. Slavic tribes inhabited Bosnia & Herzegovina during 7th century. With exception of today’s eastern Herzegovina and Humin area, during 10th& 11th centuries, Bosnia & Herzegovina became a part of Croatian Kingdom. At the end of 11th and be- ginning of 12th century, Bosnia & Herzegovina became a part of the Hungarian Kingdom till 1463, when Turkish Empire subjected a majority of Bosnia & Herzegovina territory. On 25th of Octo- ber 1478, the last Bosnian Queen Katarina Kosaca – Kotromanic deceased at Rome. During Turk- ish Empire government many Bosnians accepted Islam as their religion. Turkish Empire ruled Bosnia & Herzegovina till 1878 when Bosnia & Herzegovina fallen under Austro – Hungarian protectorate. However, different Slavic enclaves in foreign countries intended to unify all southern Slavic enclaves. The First World War was initiated when Austro – Hungarian prince was killed at Sarajevo. After fallen of Austro – Hungarian Kingdom, Bosnia & Herzegovina entered Kingdom of Yugoslavia. During Second World War, Bosnia & Herzegovina was a part of Independent State of Croatia but only for a short period of time. Socialistic Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was established after Second World War and Bosnia & Her- zegovina became one of the republics within this Federation. After fallen of ex – Yugoslavia during 1991 and referendum for independency during February 1992, Bosnia & Herzegovina claimed itsindependency as a sovereign country. The majority of Bosnia & Herzegovina citizens attended this referendum except Bosnian Orthodox who, with help of Serbian government, started a war in Bosnia & Herzegovina (based on the eth- nic principle) in order to occupy certain territories of Bosnia & Herzegovina and annex it to Ser- bia.Soon, this war claimed whole territory of Bosnia & Herzegovina and all ethnic groups. During March 1994 Bosnian Catholics and Muslims signed a treaty confirming establishment of Federa- tion of Bosnia & Herzegovina including certain relationship with Republic of Croatia. During No- vember 1995 all warfare sides involved signed Dayton Peace Accord that stopped this horrible war. The final document was signed during December 1995 in Paris.Dayton Peace Accord divided Bos- nia & Herzegovina into two entities, Federation of Bosnia & Herzegovina and Republic of Srpska. Bosnia & Herzegovina, with its mosques, churches, synagogues, libraries, Turkish baths, and other monuments represent true historical museum. Certain historical parts of Bosnia & Herzegovina are preserved in its core and many streets and buildings held their originally assigned names such as “ab- desthana, cikmazsokak, sogukpinar, EvliyaCelebi”, etc. Sometimes, Islamic clerks held their prayers on Turkish language, Eid Mubarak greeting “Bajram Serif Mubarak Olsun” is commonly used and “Basig Sag Olsun” is often used during Muslim funerals.

  • Cultural Informations Počitelj
    CULTURAL INFORMATIONS POČITELJ The historic site of Počitelj is located on the left bank of the river Neretva, on the main Mostar to Metković road, and it is to the south of Mostar. During the Middle Ages, Počitelj was considered the administrative centre and centre of governance of Dubrava župa (county), while its westernmost point gave it major strategic importance. It is believed that the fortified town along with its attendant settlements were built by Bosnia's King Stjepan Tvrtko I in 1383. The walled town of Počitelj evolved in the period from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Architecturally, the stone-constructed parts of the town are a fortified complex, in which two stages of evolution are evident: mediaeval, and Ottoman. The first recorded reference to Počitelj dates from 1444, in Charters by Kings Alfonso V and Friedrich III. In the period between 1463-1471 the town housed a Hungarian garrison. In 1471, following a brief siege, the town was conquered by the Ottomans, and remained within the Ottoman Empire until 1878. From 1782 to 1879 Počitelj was the kadiluk (area under the jurisdiction of a kadija or qadi - judge) centre and it was the headquarters of the Počitelj military district from 1713 to photo: Donatella Carlovich 1835. The significance and the town's appearance has altered during the course of its history. As far as the development of Počitelj goes, three significant periods can be distinguished: The period of the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus during which the town had a major strategic importance (1463–1471) The period of the settlement development under the Ottoman Empire with the erection of public buildings: mosques, imaret (charitable kitchen), mekteb (Muslim primary school),, medresa (Muslim high school), hamam, baths, han (inn) and the sahat-kula (clock-tower) (1471–1698).

It is one of only a few major European cities to have a mosque and synagogue as well as Catholic and Orthodox churches in the same neighborhood. A regional educational hub, the city was home to the Balkans’ first institute of tertiary education – the Saraybosna Osmanlı Medrese, an Islamic polytechnic that now belongs to the University of Sarajevo. Although settlement in the area dates back to prehistoric times, modern Sarajevo rose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. The city has attracted international attention several times. In 1885 it was the first city in Europe and the second in the world after San Francisco to have an electric tram network. It was the site of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination by a young Bosnia activist named Gavrilo Princip in 1914 – an incident that sparked World War I.

One of Sarajevo’s best-kept secrets is the quality of the coffee served in the city. Its population lives on caffeine, many having coffee up to five times a day. The traditional way of serving the real Bosnian coffee, the Bosanska kafa, looks very much like the Arabic version, or the Turkish, where raw beans are first roasted then ground into a fine powder using a hand grinder. Served on copper pots called dzezva, boiling water is added to the powder. The dzezva is put on a tray with a small ceramic cup called fildzan, white sugar cubes, and some pastries, most notably the rahat lokum (don’t call it Turkish delight, even if it looks and tastes just like it, after all, we are in Bosnia, not Anatolia).

  • Sarajevo Cookbook
    SARAJEVO COOKBOOK Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is its administrative, economic, cultural and educational center. The city center of Sarajevo is a unit of local self-governance, which consists of four municipalities: Old City, Center, New City and New Sarajevo. Sarajevo is the place where the East meets the West. The city is famous for its traditional religious diversity, with adherents of Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism coexisting there for centuries. Due to its long and rich history of religious and cultural variety, Sarajevo is often called "Jerusalem of Europe". Nestled within the greater Sarajevo valley, it is surrounded by the Dinaric Alps and situated along the Miljacka River in the heart of Southeastern Europe and the Balkans. Because of its geographical position, Sarajevo was chosen to host the 1984 Winter Olympic Games. Though settled from the prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1878 until 1914, when the assassination of the Archduke in Sarajevo sparked the World War I. Sarajevo was also the first city in Europe and the second city in the world to have a full-time operational electric tram network running through the city, the first being San Francisco. The modern history of the city is no less interesting and turbulent, so everybody is invited to take a walk through Sarajevo’s streets and capture the atmosphere of this fascinating town. Sarajevo has mild continental climate. It is located in Central European Time Zone (GMT +1).

  • Sarajevo Heart of Europe the First European WWI Commemoration
    Sarajevo Heart of Europe The First European WWI commemoration On and around June 28th 2014 Press kit Press relations: Heymann, Renoult Associées Sarah Heymann, Lucie Cazassus, Elodia Ferreira and Abigail Nogues International press: [email protected] National and regional press: [email protected] Tel: +33(0)144 617 676 www.heymann-renoult.com Editorial The idea took form in the spring of 2011. Sarajevo had to be the place, June 28th 2014 the date, for the start of the European commemorations for the centenary of the First World War. Driven by this conviction, we, together with the producer Fabienne Servan- Schreiber, set off for Sarajevo. Once there, we very soon met with some of our companions in this extraordinary adventure: the then mayor of Sarajevo, Alija Behmen, to whom we would like to pay tribute, Francis Bueb and the group of people at the Centre André Malraux, brothers to the city in its darkest hours, the Sarajevo Film Festival and the Sarajevo Jazz Fest, both embody Sarajevo’s cultural excellence. The French Ambassador in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Roland Gilles, convinced Europe to join us on this adventure. Sarajevo had long aspired to the honor of being European Capital of Culture. The year of commemoration of the outset of the First World War fulfilled this ambition, at last. Peter Sorensen, the special representative of the European Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Pierre Mirel, then director of the European Commission’s Directorate General for Enlargement, immediately believed in the project. Sarajevo may not be European Capital of Culture in 2014, but for a few weeks around the symbolic date of June 28th it will be the “Heart of Europe”.
