I do confirm : Bosnia is an amazing country to visit : very warm , helpful people , never trying to use you as a tourist. Atmosphere is lively : I felt peace and happiness with no reason , ( I believe that it is a very special place.) Greetings from NZ .Hope Bosnia would be soon absolutely free 🙏 from all current limitations. Blessings and Love for all Bosnia and it's lovely warm, honest, clean people - let they gain back tourists as they do deserve to be visited to show their inner beauty and God's Love .
Great video ladies. I live in Montreal Canada and my heritage is Bosnian, so it was a pleasure watching you explore the beauties of Bosnia and Hercegovina. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Oh so cool! I have family close to Montreal. I was just working on our next video which is a short tour of Mostar! It will be coming out in the next few days.
Wow, thank you so much for learning about the history of our city, and not just the recent one. It always hurts me when people brush over Sarajevo's history.
The video was awesome! Thank you all for visiting my hometown. I lived in the US for almost thirty years. I left Sarajevo when I was eleven during the war and only went back once in 2012. Mom did a good job explaining stories behind each historical site. There were slight mistakes there and there but overall not bad for someone who is first time visiting. Thumbs up from me! 👍😁
Thanks so much! I hope we brought you back some nice memories of your hometown. I'm sure you remember quite a bit since you were eleven when you left. Best! 🙌🤗
That was one of the best videos that I've seen I like how you explained everything in detail. I'm a Bosnian that lives in Rochester, New York I'm from Travnik, Bosnia. I hope you guys had a great time thank you for visiting our beautiful country and hopefully you visit again! 👍
The Austrian empire declared war on Serbia not Bosnia after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Bosnia was already part of the Austrian empire.
I found you through Drew channel (he made a video of you guys travelling around the world with kids). You are such an inspiring women. Well done. You are also honest and responsible when it comes to give information about Sarajevo history or how the world war I started. I admire this thing to people! Well done!
Such a beautiful and interesting city and surrounding area. And so many things to do and see. Just being able to walk a bobsled run would thrill me. So great to see you all. Cracked me up when Chloe honked the Archdukes horn! She's definitely the character of the family. Stay safe. Oh yeah, viewing from Seattle area...still.
You’re spot on with Chloe. 😂😂 We learned so much in just a short time there. It was fascinating. Thanks for reminding us where you’re watching from. 🙌🤩
9:31 - interesting to see this tram; I used to ride on it when I lived in Cologne, Germany in 1974. It was built in 1963, has operated in Cologne until 1996.
Guys, I love your video, but you seriously need to do some research :). 1st world war you got wrong, there are plenty of catholics in Sarajevo, and so on...
Essentially the same people that kept the longest siage of any city in modern history (Sarajevo) also assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, and they are Serbian nationalist. One more fact that you explained not correctly is Austria declared war on Serbia not Bosnia because Serbian government was supporting the assassin (terrorism against Austrian empire) the rest you explained correctly.
Ladies.. Sarajevo has 2 christian groups: Orthodox christians(serbs) and catholics(croats). Other predominant group are as you know Muslim and Jewish. Balkan Peninsula is also famous for having the largest Gypsy community in the world. ;) Love from your Sarajevo sister
Some of the shots you did are movie like with the music , imagine every city you go to make a mini movie with some locals you guys hire to act , would be cool content
You need to educate yourself better in history, Austria Hungary attacked Serbia, not Bosnia, Bosnia was a part of Austria Hungary at that time, until it was liberated by Serbian army, who chased away all of the invaders out of Bosnia.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Yeah Tyler can talk on the video as you travel down the roads providing comentary about things along the way.. Sights you are passing.. He does not have to have his face on camera to do that hey.. :D
Usually great videos. But I must point you on some mistakes. In Sarajevo there's actually four main religious denominations: Muslims, two Christian variations; Catholics and Orthodox Christians and Jews. About WWI, Bosnia-Herzegovina was actually part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Aforementioned assassination has been done by the ethnic Serb Gavrilo Princip, member of the illegal nationalist organization "Mlada Bosna" (eng. Young Bosnia) that has been organised and assisted by the neighboring Serbia's secret intelligence agency since Serbia has been claiming all Bosnia and Hercegovina and regarded Austrian empire as an enemy! As a result Austria-Hungary proclaimed war and invaded on Serbia, not Bosnia and Herzegovina! I hope I've clarified some historical facts. Some recommendations! When in majestic Sarajevo you should definitely try many of their oriental cuisine like variations of Burek, Ćevapi, Bosanska tava, ...treets like many types of Baklava, Tulumba, Kadaif, Halva. Also, their oriental coffee is a must! There are many amazing restaurants in Sarajevo! My recomendations would be : top class Kibe Mahala with huge variety of traditional Bosnian meals and breath taking views over city! Željo or Ferhatović located at the Baščaršija are the most famous traditional ćevap restauranta! Kind regards!
Cool! Thanks for taking the time to write us these details and history info. If we go back we’ll definitely look up these restaurants. We’ve never tried then oriental coffee either.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders You're welcome! Oriental coffee is something you should definitely try next time as same as the very specific Bosnian traditional cuisine in recommended or some other restaurants!
Did you guys know that the first Police officers were Bosnians during the Roman Empire. Bosnian men didn’t want to participate any more in the Roman Empire Army during the the 6. and 7. Century so the Roman King assigned Bosnians to restore law and order in the cities once the Roman military takes over the city and regions. People loved them because they were respectful to citizens and named them in Latin “ BOSNIACUMS “ which translates into English “ the kind and friendly men and that’s how Bosnia and the river that flows through Bosnia got the name BOSNIA. Also the river in the east of Bosnia is Called DRINA from the Latin name Drinus simply River because none of the names they tried to give to Drina wasn’t beautiful enough so they left the river without a name that’s why is called DRINA
Great video, lovely family,. Sadly the north American education system has failed this wonderful lady. Austria did not invade Bosnia in WW1. Bosnia was a part of Austria at the time.
Yes! We’ve done it now in so many countries. It’s really neat to see how each country has it set up differently with regards to safety measure too. 😳😂😂
15:10 NO, you are incorrect. The Assassin where Serb Separatist that murdered the Archduke and his wife. The Austrian empire then declared war at Serbian Kingdom across the border for the plot. The Germans, than too, declare war against Serbia, Then Russia declare war on Germany and Austrian Empire, all due to Alliances the whole of Europe went into war. BUT, it was common knowledge prior to the war, that Europe was a bomb ready to go off. That not if but when....and these Serbian Separatist, lit the fuse.
WW1 effectively started in Sarajevo because a young Bosnian Serb nationalist Gavrilo (Gabriel) Princip killed the Austro - Hungarian archduke and heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophia on June 28, 1914, but it wasn't that Austria - Hungary declared war on Bosnia (Bosnia was then part of Austria - Hungary), it declared war on Serbia a month later (July 28, 1914). After more than 400 years of Ottoman rule, Bosnia was occupied by Austria - Hungary in 1878. Furthermore, it was annexed to Austria - Hungary 30 years later, in 1908, which caused problems in Vienna's relations with Serbia and Serbian ally Russia. A secret society called "Mlada Bosna" ("Young Bosnia") was formed in the then Austrian province of Bosnia - Herzegovina, which contested the annexation of Bosnia - Herzegovina (Herzegovina is the southern part of the country) to Austria - Hungary. Their members were mostly (but not exclusively, since the country's population is and was ethnically very mixed) young Bosnian Serbs. After the assassination of the archduke Franz Ferdinand, the government in Vienna accused neighboring Serbia of conspiracy with "Young Bosnia", intending to detach Bosnia - Herzegovina from Austria - Hungary and annexing it to Serbia. So Austria - Hungary declared war on Serbia and that triggered WW1.
Welcome to Sarajevo, city of dead Angels, country of alive Demons =)) And yes, everything is normal and at the same time, nothing is. (I am very sad you guys didnt visit Pyramids in Visoko, its maybe 20min car ride) 28:20 Imagine that, coincidence or not, who knows
Btw when you were talking about latin bridge those boys are actually Serbian and they were working for some Serbian organisation that didnt want Austougarska to became even bigger Empire.So they killed the prince and tryed to kill themself but they couldnt because they picked the wrong poison.Because they killed the prince Austrougarska didnt had anyone who can rule the empire after death of the ruler.
Those boys were Bosnian Serbs, not Serbs from Serbia. A group called Mlada Bosna(Young Bosnia). Mlada Bosna contained all three nationalities Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Bosnia
Try to visit Zagreb or Belgrade cities in Croatia and Serbia They Are much more nice then Sarajevo. Hope you Enjoyed ćevapčići in Sarajevo They Are nice I ate them in Baščaršija.
I have visited Zagreb and Belgrade and many other cities in the world, but Sarajevo is unique. Despite what the serbs did, it's stil a multicultural city and one of the most beautiful cities in the world!
Why exactly are Zagreb and Belgrade nicer than Sarajevo? I completely disagree. Zagreb looks basically like Bratislava, so quite boring, and Belgrade looks like mini Kiev.
Zagreb and Belgrade nicer than Sarajevo? You must be kidding! Sarajevo is a unique City, full of history and surrounded by beautiful Mountains. The Best Food is there and by the miles the best Coffee. Cheers from Germany. I can't wait to visit Sarajevo again.
bosnia used to be cheaper. At one point cocacola was more expensive than the food you ordered. Also beware of the corrupt cops they'll try to rip you off.
Get your facts straight before you talk nonsense. Austria never accused Bosnia & Herzegovina for the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand. They accused Serbia because that is where the assassins came from. Go back to School Chantel before you misinform the people watching this as obviously you have no idea about the historical facts..
A small follow-up to the story of the Sarajevo attack. Archduke Franz Ferdinand was heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. In 1914 Sarajevo, along with all Bosnia and Herzegovina, was part of Austria-Hungary. The group of assassins (six people) to which Gavrilo Princip belonged, man who shot the Archduke and his wife, were Serbian nationalists. The originator of the attack and the man who trained and sent the assassins to Sarajevo was the head of the military intelligence of the Kingdom of Serbia, colonel Dmitrijevic. However, we do not know to this day, to what extent he had the support of the authorities of the Kingdom of Serbia and the military intelligence officers of the Empire of Russia. Austro-Hungarian authorities have discovered traces leading to Serbia. With the support of the German Reich on 26.07. 1914 issued an ultimatum to the Kingdom of Serbia demanding permission to conduct an investigation in Serbia and punishing all Serbian military and officials who assisted in the organization of the attack. Because Serbia rejected the ultimatum on 28.07. 1914, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia (Serbia not Bosnia!). Russia tookSerbia side, so on 01.08. 1914 Germany declared war on Russia, and on 3.08. 1914, declared war France, Russia's ally and invaded Belgium. In response, on 4.08 1914, Great Britain declared war on Germany on behalf of the entire British Empire (including Canada). 6.08. 1914 Austria declared war on Russia. The First World War has begun. The car carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife is now in Vienna in the Army Museum (Heeresmuseum Wien). It was Gräf & Stift Double Pheaton. At the time of the attack car had a license plate: A III 118. Visually it looks very similar to 11.11. 18, the day the First World War ended. And the letter A sounds like the beginning of the German word Attentat, meaning assassination. But no one can rationally explain this coincidence. Greetings
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders Thank you very much for your kind words. Allow me to make one private comment related to all my professional experience. I think Angelique has a certain natural talent. This can be seen in her behavior with a bow and a weapon. If I can suggest something, I suggest that if parents and Angelique herself is interested, look for a shooting section for her at a sports club. I think it is not that difficult in Switzerland. If she is also interested in the archery section, I would suggest participating in both. Both sections complement each other well. I've seen girls her age similarly starting at the shooting range and then winning medals in junior and adult shooting competitions. All this, of course, if Angeligue is interested in it herself. And also if, of course, her parents consent. And I think something for which you probably have natural talent is worth developing. It always opens up many possibilities. Such a private comment that can be completely ignored. Greetings.
Read it online. I think because it had the different religions all together mixed like this where as most other countries have a larger distinction between religions.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders most of the countries around have different mixed religions,so that that mean they are all jerusalem,also Bosnia has nothing to do with Jews,btw Bosnia is Muslim majority with some Christian minority,it is a tiny beautiful country ❤️
Important parts of video::: 15.15 Austria attack Bosnia .Bosnia in that time was part of Austria de facto.Russia suport Bosnia???Russia never support Bosnia and we don't like each other. 13.16 Austrian ottoman empire WTF???? 10.53 both girl taste Sarajevo water than in 2025 finale of European champion league Zeljeznicar vs Barca and both girls cheer for Zeljeznicar,
