Ethno Villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Modern Custodians of Tradition

Ethno villages are guardians of national traditions built in the likeness of former Bosnian-Herzegovinian villages. They take you back to Bosnia a hundred years ago and present various historical aspects of life during that time, as well as untouched natural beauty. These villages are often complemented by modern amenities. They strengthen the local economy and serve as eco and ethno-tourism potentials. There are more than 25 of these villages in Bosnia and Herzegovina, each unique in its own way, but they all share a rich gastronomic offering. Visiting them gives the impression that time has stood still.

A Measure of Humanity in a Moment of Risk

There was a moment of risk that occurred that was great enough to become a measure of humanity. Đoko made a sacrifice…for you, for me, for those sons and daughters waiting for their fathers’ return. A moment of risk for a man that neither you nor I will ever know, which marked an era of humanity.
