- Zvornik is truly unique in its history and location. It stands at the junction of the Republika Srpska and Serbia, which gives it a special poignant character and heritage. The history of Zvornik is rich in different eras and cultural influences. The strategically important geographical location of the city has made it a witness to many historical events, wars, and defeats, ranging from medieval times to the present.
Life in Zvornik today reflects a centuries-old history of ethnic coexistence. Bosnians and Serbs, despite historical and political aspects, enmity, as well as the dust of numerous wars, usually maintain peaceful relations and respect for each other. Both of these ethnic groups participate in the city's daily life, cultural events, and economic activities.
Zvornik is included in the historical pages of several key periods. During the Ottoman Empire, it was a strategically important fortress that played a key role on the border of the empire. This place was of strategic importance for control of territory and trade routes.
During the Yugoslav wars of the 90s, Zvornik became one of the centers of conflict. This city witnessed military actions and tragic events of that time, which left a deep mark. We talk about all this on our walk.
During World War II, Zvornik was also involved in the conflict and suffered very seriously. What multi-format events took place here? It’s better to listen to my tour of the city about this.
On our walk around the city you can see a number of historical attractions: Zvornik Fortress (kale) is one of the main historical monuments of the city. Religious heritage left by the rule of the Ottoman Empire and the Serbian Orthodox Church. Museum complexes: for example, the bunker-shelter of the King of Serbia, Alexander I Karageorgievich. Monument to Emir Kusturica's film "Dad on a Business Trip" and a monument to the Yugoslav Wars.
Our walk through Zvornik reveals the amazing mixture of historical layers and cultural diversity of this region.

Cheers from The USA... What a Beautiful City, fascinating history and handsome guide... Thank you for sharing 🙂 So great to see people of different backgrounds getting along
Anti American shit hole. Cheers from Midwest US
Thank you
This is my hometown, where I was born. It is also a city where some of the most horrendous post ww2 atrocities took place. The political leadership of the bosnian serbs in town made lists of prominent Bosniaks that they later killed. Both the city and the municipality had Bosniak majority. That is not the case today, due to planned mass-scale systematical atrocities against Bosniaks carried out by the army of the so-called republika srpska and its police, assisted by paramilitary AND regular military forces from serbia.
Quit spreading lies and just convert back to orthodoxy
Yes indeed. Our family house was burned by the Serbs. What threat did a house pose to anyone? They're just a genocidal people...
This is a city that was ethnically cleansed
Not as much as Sarajevo, Tuzla and Zenica. Plus many Bosniaks went to join the ARBiH during the war.
Those cities stayed in the federation though im talking about bosnian muslim and bosnian croat minorities. In those cities the serbs were ruthless they raped and killed women childern babies because no one was there to stop them
Major difference is that serbs from Sarajevo, Tuzla and Zenica run away without been killed and they run becaus serbian authorities said they will shell those cities.. in the other hand all east Bosnia was a hell for bosniaks, where serbians killed and massacred bosnian muslims and extingishued them with ethnicla cleansing
@@bornaborcic7513 exactly 👍
@@bornaborcic7513 You are ignorant of Musan Topalovic of the 10th Mountain Brigade and other paramilitary groups which were murdering Sarajevo Serb civilians from the very beginning of the war. He and his men were decapitating Serb civilians and throwing their bodies off Kazani gorge. They have found dead in the gorge but the Bosnian Muslim government halted the search in the middle of it, so there's never been a full recovery.
Bosnian police were also bursting into Serb homes and killing them while they ate lunch - the Ristovic case.
They were also coming into Serbs' homes in the middle of the night and taking them to be executed, such as the Golubovic case where they also killed 2 little boys. This was in 1992 so in the beginning of the war.
Bosniaks had the largest military/paramilitary and the largest number of snipers. Even UN officers testified that the "government" (Bosniak) snipers used "several buildings" in the infamous "Sniper's Alley" and were sniping both at the UN and civilians in Sarajevo. An officer testified how a Bosniak sniper bragged about killing 2 Serbian girls with one bullet. He waited until they were lined up perfectly. He testified that it was that and other such incidents against Serb civilians why the Serbs closed the "Blue Routes", meaning Serbs blocked the UN due to it not stopping the killing of Sarajevo Serb civilians due to Bosniak snipers.
Only due to this did the UN make an "anti-sniping" agreement.
Tuzla was a huge Bosniak army base and it had many torture camps for Serbs.
In Zenica they threw Serbs alive into steel furnaces and they even turned on Croats. A Croat spoke of how Bosniaks hung an elderly Serb women in front of her husband and then they cut off the man's fingers before they killed him too.
The Croat said his uncle was killed by Bosniaks and a Scottish/British mercenary, John MacPhee, who joined the Croat HVO and Special forces and fought against Serbs and Bosniaks (Croat-Muslim war), was most shocked at what he witnessed Bosniak forces do to Croat civilians. He witnessed they would deliberately mutilated them and even the animals as well.
Bosnia and Herzegovina beautiful country
Eastern part is called Zvornik and it's located in Serbian Republik of the Bosnia and Herzegovina thus Serbs live in both towns not Boshniaks, Mali Zvornik is located in Serbia thus Serbs live there too, "Boshniaks" are Islamized Serbs and until 1972 they were officially Serbs Mohamedans, they became Boshniaks in 1993 during the civil war😂, entire Bosnia and Herzegovina is still considered a Serbian land even if two thirds of its population lost Serbian identity😂 Croats are also former Serbs turned into Catholics and Boshniaks Serbs of Islamic fate they hate us when we remind them of that😂 but we still preserved that unfortunate memory, foreigners are ignorant they speak of us as of some different people who live in a different countries 😊
Least nationalistic serb:
Мислите ли да су Украјинци, Руси и Белоруси један народ или не?
Хаха просјечан глупи "србин " љубоморни сте на Босну зато је и својатате себи бели зато што је "Србија" јадна земља немате ништа више осим Дунава и тамо неких планина док Босна и Херцеговина има море водопаде ријеке планине пирамиде језера која су доста занимљивија и љепша имамо такођер и прашуму па Сарајево и Мостар и Тузла који су иако мањи бољи су и лјепши од "Великог Београда"... Лијеп поздрав из Босне поносне за будућим Београдским Пашалуком 🇧🇦⚜️☪️😉
He probably thinks all slavs are serbs haha
Bosniaken waren Serben vor 500 Jahren, na AND?
INSANE????
Before Bosnian civil war Zvornik was populated with 59% Muslims and 37% Serbs. Today Zvornik have Serb majority in city 85 - 90% and Bosniaks make ( before war they called Muslims) have 10 - 15% . This city is more multiethnic then Sarajevo which is capital city of country. In Serbia Mali Zvornik always have serbian majority maybe in Ottoman empire have muslims majority. Best regards from Eastern Sarajevo 👍.
Serbs 90% bosniaks 8%
Is this accurate data?
@@tripwithAndrew Yes, its from the census of 2013, but in the census of 1991 it was bosniak majority
@@nikjank7106 No it is almost 34% Bosniak according to the 2013 census "19,855 (33.73%)" and Serbs are about 2/3.
