Belinda, thanks for lending me this great guide for Bosnia and Herzegovina! Also, thanks again to you and Elvir for the warm welcome and wonderful stay at your house in Sarajevo.
Amra and Emina picked me up at the Tuzla Autobusna Stanica on Saturday at 1:45pm, where I arrived after a pleasant and uneventfult 3-hour-long bus ride from
One of the views from the Inspire d.o.o apartment where I am staying for the week that I will spend in Tuzla.

The new cemetery near lake Tuzla where seventy one young Bosnians are buried, who were killed by a shell thrown by the Army of Republica Srpska on a gathering of young people on May 25, 1995 (“youth day” in Bosnia), during the Bosnian war. All of the victims were civilians. This horrifying and incredibly saddening event is referred to as the Tuzla massacre. The funeral for these young men and women was held with torch lights, in secret at 1am.
Monument to heroes of WW II. Emina is walking on a mosaic representing a pattern for a bosnian “kilim.”
A bust of a famous WWII hero, Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980).
Day trip to Srebrenik on Sunday April 20th with friends and colleagues Amra, Senad and
The spectacular Srebrenik fortress (“kastel”), built early in the fourteenth century.
Yet another truly magical Bosnian moment. Down the hill below, a Bosnian farmer is tilling his field with an old-fashioned hearse pulled by a white horse. As I was getting ready to take the picture, Senad said: "Arnaud, that guy down there is probably doing that just for you..."
A small break before moving-on to Gradacac (to be continued...)
One of the typical haystacks found all over the Bosnian countryside.
