Our Thoughts
Is it Bosnia or is it Hercegovina? More importantly, can
Muslim Slavs, Catholic Croats, and Orthodox Serbs live together in
one country. Civil war between these groups created the phrase, 'ethnic
cleansing,' even though ethnically speaking all parties were indistinguishable
from each other; religion separted them, not ethnicity.
We came here and tried to get our minds around the meaning
of Bosnia's civil war. The map shows this as one country but it's
at least two: the Bosnian Croatian Federation centered around Sarajevo
and Mostar, and the Serbian side around Banja Luka.
Highlight: Sarajevo has charm but Mostar is the
best looking.
