Beyond Your Dreams Beyond Your Dreams Beyond your dreams Beyond your dreams Destınatıon BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA Bosnıa & Herzegovina Craggily beautiful Bosnia and Herzegovina is most intriguing for its East-meets-West atmosphere born of blended Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian histories. Many international visitors still associate the country with the heartbreaking civil war of the 1990s, and several attractions focus on the horrors of that era. But today, visitors will likely remember the country for its deep, unassuming human warmth, its beautiful mountain scapes and its numerous medieval castle ruins. Apart from modest Neum it lacks beach resorts, but easily compensates with cascading rafting rivers, waterfalls and bargain-value skiing in its mostly mountainous landscapes. Major drawcards are the reincarnated historic centres of Sarajevo and Mostar, counterpointing splendid Turkish-era stone architecture with quirky bars, inviting street- terrace cafes and a vibrant arts scene. And there's so much more to discover in the largely rural hinterland, all at prices that make the country one of Europes best-value destinations. Beyond your dreams How to get there? By plane Sarajevo Airport is in the suburb of Butmir and is relatively close to the city centre. There is no direct public transportation Some of the other airlines which operate regular (daily) services into Sarajevo By train Train services across the country are slowly improving once again, though speeds and frequencies are still low. Train services available to & from Crotia, Hungary and Serbia. By bus Buses are plentiful in and around Bosnia. Most international buses arrive at the main Sarajevo bus station (autobuska stanica) which is located next to the railway station close to the centre of Sarajevo. Frequent coach services run from Sarajevo to Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro: and in addition to the longer-distance buses further afield to the Republic of Macedonia, Austria and Germany. Beyond your dreams What to do ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına? There are many fascinating destinations throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina for every type of tourist. In B&H, one gets the best of both worlds. Here, the most interesting and attractive sites are a wonderful mix of this tiny country's cultural and natural heritage. It is almost impossible to separate them, for it is from this pristine nature that its cultures and traditions evolved. • Visit World-famous Stari Most (Old Bridge) is Mostar's indisputable visual focus • See the most visceral of Sarajevo's many 1990s war-experience attractions. • Enjoy jazz in 24 hour drinking spots. • Shopping wine • Have tickets for national theatre • Enjoy the waterfalls and green around. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Mıljacka Rıver Miljacka River is the right tributary of River Bosna, with flow length of 36 km. It is made of Paljanska and Mokranjska Miljacka. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Sarajevo Sarajevo is the leading political, social and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a prominent center of culture in the Balkans with its region-wide influence in entertainment, media, fashion, and the arts. Due to its long and rich history of religious and cultural variety, Sarajevo was sometimes called the "Jerusalem of Europe« or "Jerusalem of the Balkans". It is the only major European city to have a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox church and synagogue within the same neighborhood Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Starı Most World-famous Stari Most (Old Bridge) is Mostar's indisputable visual focus. Its pale stone magnificently throws back the golden glow of sunset or the tasteful night-time floodlighting. The bridge's swooping arch was originally built between 1557 and 1566 on the orders of Suleyman the Magnificent. The current structure is a very convincing 21st-century rebuild following the bridge's 1990s bombardment during the civil war. Numerous well-posi8oned cafes and restaurants tempt you to sit and savour the splendidly restored scene. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Bascarsıja Baščaršija is the main tourist attraction of Sarajevo. Located in the very heart of the city, this bazaar is one of Sarajevo’s oldest wards as well as a well- preserved example of oriental architecture in the Balkans. The name Baščaršija is derived from two Turkish words, “baş” meaning “head” or in this case “main,” and “çarşı,” a commercial street. Situated along the northern bank of the Miljacka River, Baščaršija is an oriental bazaar, a maze of narrow streets with small shops where craftsmen make and sell their products. At one time, each street was dedicated to a different kind of craft—metalwork, jewelry, pottery, and so on. Nowadays, many of the old artisan shops have been converted to souvenir shops and cafes. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Sarajevo Cıty Wall, Vrecnıca Vrecnica is the most extravagant building constructed in Sarajevo during Austro-Hungarian occupation and serves as a symbol of the meeting of world civilizations. After World War II, Vrecnica became home to the National and University Library of B&H. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Kajtaz House Hidden behind tall walls, Mostar's most historic old house was once the harem sec8on of a larger homestead built for a 16th-century Turkish judge. Full of original artefacts, it s8ll belongs to descendants of the original family albeit now under Unesco protec8on. A visit includes a very extensive, personal tour. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Tunnel Museum The most visceral of Sarajevo's many 1990s war-experience 'arac8ons', this unmissable museum's centrepiece and raison d'être is a 25m sec8on of the 1m wide, 1.6m high hand-dug tunnel under the airport runway. That acted as the city's lifeline to the outside world during the 1992–95 siege, when Sarajevo was virtually surrounded by hos8le Serb forces. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Neum, the sunny Adrıatiıc Neum is the only exit of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the coast. It was first men8oned in 533 (under the name Neunense), but was developed as a mari8me retreat in 1965. The Old Town of Neum is 2 km inland. Scuba-diving, parasailing, boa3ng and jet skiing can all readily be arranged in any of the major hotels. It all costs a liKle less than what it costs in Croaa. During the season, it is wise to book in advance. There are over 7000 beds in hotels, B&Bs, guest houses and private accommodaon. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Strejka Natıonal Park Sutjeska is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's oldest parks. It is famous for the Par8san victory over the Germans in WW II and there are large stone monuments commemorang the event. The park itself is 17,500 hectares of magnificent and untouched wilderness. Beyond your journey Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Medugorje Pılgrımage The story of Medugorje is well known to most Catholics. In 1981 six teenagers were playing together in the hills between the villages of Medugorje and Bijakovici. , millions of faithful Catholics from all over the world visit this sacred spot, and the many amazing accounts suggest that miracles are a regular occurrence here - the Virgin Mary is said to s8ll appear every day to three of the teenagers and once a year to the other three. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Blagaj, Buna Rıver Sprıng This region characterizes the diversity of its above-ground and underground waters. The source of the Buna is one of the largest and most beau8ful in Europe. It is the finest example of an underground karst river. It flows out of a 200m cliff wall and single-handedly creates the Buna River. Unsurprisingly, the OKoman sultan was impressed, and ordered a tekija to be built right next to it. This 16th century house/ monastery was built for the Dervish cults and is s8ll one of the most mys8cal places in all of Bosnia and Herzegovina Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Travnık Travnik is situated in the valley of the Lasva River and bordered by Vlasic Mountain to the north and Mount Vilenica to the south. The early Slav seKlers gave liKle evidence of their presence un8l 500 years aer their arrival to the area around Travnik. The valley reappeared in 1244, in terms of primary historical records, when the Hungarian King Bela IV gave one of his notables a piece of land in Lasva. By that 8me, the area was a feudal estate of the Bosnian state. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Tvrdos Monastery Trvdos is a 14th century Orthodox monastery near the beau8ful towns of Trebinje and Dubrovnik. The frescoes are amongst the finest in the region and the monastery itself is home to several 5th and 6th century icons. Beyond your dreams Major Attractıons ın Bosnıa & Herzegovına Kraljeva Sutjeska Locally acclaimed as being one of the last seats of the medieval Bosnian Kingdom this quaint town is a bas8on of ancient Bosnian history. From the medieval fortress and Franciscan monastery to one of the oldest mosque's in the country it’s a wonderfully unique rural experience rarely found today in Europe. Beyond your dreams Bosnıan Cuısıne The ci8zens of Bosnia and Herzegovina truly enjoy the tasty and healthy food and drink. Tradi8onal food is oeen prepared with meat, and meals are plen8ful and delicious. The meat is of extraordinary quality, oeen organic, and well prepared. Meat is the ingredient of some of the most popular Bosnian dishes such as bosanski lonac, ćevapi, begova čorba, burek, and grah.

Service delivery problems in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BH) are compounded by the lingering after-effects of the conflict Public Disclosure Authorized that left vast portions of basic infrastructure destroyed or severely damaged. A case that vividly illustrates the problem is waste water collection and treatment in the city of Sarajevo. A Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) was built close to the confluence of the Miljacka and Bosna Rivers in the early 1980s on the occasion of the 1984 Winter Olympics. Construction of the plant was supported by the World Bank-financed Sarajevo Water Supply and Sewerage Project (Loan 1263-YU), which closed in December 1982. However, the plant was extensively damaged in the spring of 1992 at the outset of the conflict, during which the sewer network was also destroyed in various places. Since the end of the conflict in 1995, the WWTP has been largely out of commission with only minimal conservation works carried out to prevent further deterioration. As a result, virtually all of the city‟s waste water is discharged into the Miljacka and Bosna Rivers without any treatment, causing severe pollution of the rivers and impacting the communities downstream of the discharge point.

  • Sarajevski Mostovi – Svjedoci Vremena
    UDK: 725.95 (497.6 Sarajevo) “15/20” Igor RADOVANOVIĆ JU Muzej Sarajeva SARAJEVSKI MOSTOVI – SVJEDOCI VREMENA Apstrakt: Pored mnogih znamenitosti, grad Sarajevo jedinstvenim čine i njegovi stari mostovi. Sarajevski mostovi nastajali su kako se grad razvijao, postajući svjedoci povijesti i ljudi koji su prošli kroz Sarajevo. U ovome radu spomenuti su najstariji mostovi, izuzetak je most Festina lente, koji je svečano otvoren 2012. godine. Kako se grad razvijao kroz dvadeseto stoljeće, osim mostova o kojima će se govoriti u nastavku, na Miljacki je sagrađeno još petnaest novijih. Ključne riječi: Sarajevo, mostovi, Miljacka Abstract: In addition to many sights, it is also its old bridges that make the city of Sarajevo unique. Sarajevo bridges were built over time as the city developed and became witnesses of historical times and people who passed through Sarajevo. In this paper, the oldest bridges are men- tioned, and the only exception is the newer Festina Lente Bridge, which was ceremoniously opened in 2012. As the city developed throughout the twentieth century, in addition to the bridges in question, downstream the Miljacka River, fifteen newer ones were built.

  • Towards an Unsustainable Urban Development in Post-War Sarajevo
    Towards an unsustainable urban development in post-war Sarajevo Jordi Martín-Díaz Department of Geography University of Barcelona Jordi Nofre Interdisciplinary Centro of Social Sciences New University of Lisbon Marc Oliva Centre of Geographical Studies. University of Lisbon Pedro Palma Centre of Geographical Studies. University of Lisbon Martín‐Díaz, J., Nofre, J., Oliva, M., & Palma, P. (2015). Towards an unsustainable urban development in post‐war Sarajevo. Area, 47(4), 376-385.doi: 10.1111/area.12175 Abstract Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is located in a karst geomorphological environment. The topographical setting strongly inßuences the urban geographical distribution and urban develop-ment, as well as the sustainability policies implemented in the city. The incorporation of an environ-mental agenda and the focus on sustainable development have characterised urban planning in cities in Central and Eastern Europe that are transitioning from socialist to capitalist economic systems. Environ-mental policies in Sarajevo are deÞned within the Sarajevo Canton Development Strategy developed under the supervision of international experts at the end of the three-and-a-half years of siege in December 1995, and this is expected to last until 2015. This paper argues that, despite the consensus achieved for developing Sarajevo through strategies aligned with European regulations for sustainability, the built environment of the city has moved in an increasingly unsustainable direction as a result of the need to deal with vulnerable groups in the population and the international policies that tend to promote a neoliberal urban development. The Þrst section of analysis focuses on SarajevoÕs existing particular geomorphological constraints on the development of a secure and sustainable built environment.

In particular, we have examined: (i) the Neretva, Bosnia and the Drina (mountain and lowland parts), (ii) the Miljacka and the Una (mountain part) and the Vrbas and the Ukrina (lowland part) and then calculated the Kolmogorov complexity (KC) based on the Lempel–Ziv Algorithm (LZA) (lower—KCL and upper—KCU), Kolmogorov complexity spectrum highest value (KCM) and overall Kolmogorov complexity (KCO) values for each time series.

Class 2-3 is characterised by slightly to moderately modified status, indicated in light green. Class 4 for river stretches which are extensively altered are orange and class 5 (red) indicates stretches with severely modifications in particular impoundments.

Fig. 1: Legend for the hydromorphological assessment map on next page 2 Fig. 2: Hydromorphological assessment for Bosnia & Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegowina is entirely within the geographical Balkan and hosts all major tributaries of Sava river. In particularly the upper Una and the lower Vrbas as well as lower Drina fall still in the highest class, which is remarkable as most of the lower courses of comparable rivers in Europe are subject of strong changes. The major karst and Mediterranean river, the Neretva is altered by a chain of major hydropower plants. On the other side the headwaters and some of the lower tributaries provides still very good hydromorphological conditions (compare e.g. the cover image, water falls on Kravica). Even the densely settled Bosna valley still provides good to moderate hydromorphological conditions (still entirely free flowing, which has significance for sturgeon and Danube salmon populations).

  • UNKNOWN GLORY of the HABSBURGS from Sarajevo to Vienna
    UNKNOWN GLORY OF THE HABSBURGS From Sarajevo to Vienna JUNE 20 TO 30, 2014 Dear National Trust Travelers, Before it was toppled during World War I, the House of Habsburg was perhaps the world’s greatest imperial dynasty, producing kings from Portugal to Croatia and ruling the Holy Roman Empire for 300 years. We invite you to join us on a privileged journey from Sarajevo to Vienna, crossing four countries to uncover the hidden glories of this lost empire in the company of Wolfram Koeppe, Marina Kellen French Curator of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Step back in time to Sarajevo, where the Habsburg Empire came to its end. Explore its Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences and stand at the spot where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated—the catalyst that sparked the Great War. Continue to Zagreb, Croatia, known as “Little Vienna,” to admire its grand Habsburg buildings, and spend two nights in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where the dynasty held sway for nearly six centuries. Stop in nearby Bled, recently named one of Europe’s most beautiful villages by Travel & Leisure. Nestled on an alpine lake, it is a postcard-perfect place for a traditional pletna boat ride and an exclusive dinner in the village’s historic castle. Crossing to Austria, visit Forchtenstein for a director’s tour of collections of the treasury of Castle Esterházy, residence of a Hungarian noble family loyal to the Habsburgs. Conclude in Vienna where accommodations are at the legendary Hotel Sacher. Marvel at the Habsburgs’ crown jewels on a director-led tour of Hofburg Palace and browse the newest galleries of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in the company of a curator.
