This is a fascinating country that is the crossroads of East and West with an intermingling of Serbian, Croatian, and Bosniak cultures. It’s capitol Sarajevo, known as the Jerusalem of the west, is where the match was lit that set off WWI. It hosted the Winter Olympics in 1984 and six years later had an unbelievable civil war with violent ethnic cleansing. It’s a country still struggling to recover with the effects of war still very evident. It’s also a country with fantastic food, amazing history, pleasant sites, intermingling of cultures, friendly people, and a proud and thriving capitol city.
