Another great video. I subbed to your channel after I saw 4 in a row :) 7:14 Unfortunately, Bosnians do smoke a lot :( and in public too.. As a non-smoker I hate that fact. I really hope it becomes less prevalent in the future but yeah... it's one of those things that anyone who prefers normal fresh air simply can't accept.
To answer your question, the war in Bosnia was well reported and documented on the mainstream media back in the 90s, but unfortunately, because majority of Bosnians were Muslims, the West didn't care to help us for 3 full years. We were even embargoed by the EU so we didn't have weapons to defend. Only a few countries helped us get defensive weapons, namely Iran, Pakistan and Malaysia. In the end, NATO intervened in 1995 after the Srebrenica genocide happened. NATO held a bombing campaign of some of the military positions of Serbs who were occupying Sarajevo, which helped break the siege of the city. This was also mainly thanks to the USA. If social media had existed back then, it wouldn't have changed much, because still at the end of the day, Muslims in Europe were a thorn in their eye for centuries. Bosniaks, one of the few White Muslim nations in the world are an antithesis to the polar division of "East" and "West", and as such, we were condemned by many. It is interesting how despite all the odds we still managed to preserve our country and our nation.
Hello, I only have 5 days to enjoy Bosnia, I have decided to spend 2 nights in Sarajevo and 2 nights in Mostar, can you tell me where to buy the train tickets? My last day in Mostar I would have to return to Sarajevo to go to the airport and I am worried about the train schedules to get there on time.
Hi… you can buy the tickets at the station. But go there an hour before, as the lines can be long. Also you can buy online, but sometimes international credit cards don’t work.
Mostar is beautiflu but you should see other cities, like Jajce, Travnik, Trebinje, cities in river Una valley, maybe some different activities like mt.Cincar and herd of wild horses, National parks Una and Sutjeska, Perućica jungle (last jungle in Europe), canyons of rivers Drina and Tara or evan Vrbas, lakes like Ramsko lake, Nature parks like Tajan and Blidinje etc...really lot to see and expirience...we also have spectacular cave systems like Vjetrenica cave or Bijambare cave..in Konjic you can visit underground bunker from cold war era, 200 meters deep undergroun structure built for Marshall Tito, or underground military airport called Željava near Bihać.
Thanks for your suggestions. I will definitely visit these places the next time I visit Bosnia. I loved the country, people and food. Definitely going back.
It is very easy to corrupt a man. Give him a little taste of wealth and power, he will find excuses to arm himself and go to war. "If the son of Adam were given a valley full of gold, he would love to have a second one; and if he were given the second one, he would love to have a third, for nothing fills the belly of Adam's son except dust. And Allah forgives he who repents to Him."- Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him.)

if you like good rose wine, you absolutely must must try Avdiros Vourvoukeli Rose wine when in Greece. It has won numerous awards internationally & is produced in Thrace, in Avdira in Xanthi on the north of Greece. Hopefully you can try and see if you find it in Athens!
