I really enjoyed my time in Bosnia, very unique country, thanks in large part to our amazing tour guide Vekas from Bosnian Tours. He customized the tour to suit our interests, and his dedication ensured that we fully experienced the country and our trip, which is really rare for guides in Bosnia. We visited approximately 15 different places in just a few days. If you are planning your next trip I would highly recommend everyone to visit Bosnia.
Bosnian Muslim people are sweet and hospitable, I like them and always will. It’s too bad they were involved in the war. This was a fabulous video. Thank you and bless you.
Nato pakt je sa Alijom Izmetbegović dogovorio zločin u Srebrenici tako što su oficiri nato pakta i ratni zločinac naser orić pripremili i poveli borce 27-me divizije u smrt odnosno nemogući proboj prema Tuzli kroz jake srbske položaje gdje je dosta boraca izginulo u neravnopravnoj borbi,dezorjentisani,međusobnim,borbi između dvije vatre,srbske artiljerije itd i to je bio dogovoreni povod bombardovanje nato pakta srbskih položaja da okončaju građanski rat u BiH i svedu Srbe sa 72% teritorije koju su držali na već dogovoreni nametnuti dejtonski mirovni plan 49% za Republiku Srbsku i 51% za Federaciju Hrvata i Muslimana.Poslije toga su svi gledali kako da ostvare svoje interese i političke ciljeve.Muslimani su htjeli islamsku džamahiriju BiH koju su otvoreno zastupali na čelu sa vođom Alijom Izmetbegovićem gdje bi bili većina i u donošenju odluka kao mnogobrojniji uvijek preglasali Hrvate i Srbe.Nezadovoljni dejtonskim sporazumom su iskoristili svoje poginule borce iz proboja njih 1000,samo vojnosposobni muškarci sahranjeni u zajedničku grobnicu da ih prebace u Potočare i onda nastaje stvaranje mita zvani Srebrenica.Počinju uvećavati broj poginulih tako što iz čitave BiH dovlače poginule žrtve rata,umrle prirodnom smrću u tom periodu,žrtve saobraćaja,dosta živih ljudi se našlo na tom lažnom spisku Srebrenice koji su izbjeglice po čitavom svijetu gdje su dostigli cifru od 8000 a cilj je da zaokruže na 10 hiljada u budućnosti.Razlog mita Srebrenice je da su samo Muslimani u BiH žrtve rata i da kao takvi polažu pravo na unitarnu BiH koju su htjeli prije rata a i dalje je sanjaju jer javno traže ukidanje Dejtona i ukidanje entiteta Republike Srpske.Drugi razlog je da skinu sa sebe odgovornost izazivanja ratnog sukoba u BiH jer su "sda" teroristi ubili Nikolu Gardovića prva žrtva i to srbska i to je bio početak rata u BiH.Srbi su takođe nezadovoljni Dejtonom jer im je nato alijansa silom oduzela 23% teritorije na kojoj su Srbi živili vijekovima ali su prihvatili Republiku Srbsku i druga opcija za njih ne postoji.Hrvati su takođe nezadovoljni Dejtonom jer su ugurani u Federaciju umjesto da je formiran treći entitet Herceg Bosna.Svi smo sretni u našoj nakaradnoj,vještačkoj,nametnutoj tvorevini BiH i bivšoj Jugi odakle svi bježe glavom bez obzira osim političara i uhljeba koji sve ovo dobro znaju i igrajući na ove karte nesmetano pljačkaju i uvećavaju svoje bogatstvo.Pobjednik situacije je Nato alijansa je jer postigla svoje strateške ciljeve a svoje zločine bombardovanja Srba u BiH a kasnije Srbije osiromašenim uranijumom i rasturanja suverene države Jugoslavije svu krivicu prebacili na žrtve rata što su ozvaničili formiranjem svog ličnog nato suda nazvan haški tribunal gdje su svoje saradnike oslobađali i nagrađivali a nepodobne osuđivali i kažnjavali i izbjegli eventualnu ratnu odštetu koja bi se pojavila u budućnosti.

You have quickly become my very favourite channel on all of youtube. Your videos are extremely interesting to watch and I learn quite a lot of things from them that I wouldn't have known otherwise. Thank you for making them! :D
One of the things that struck me when visiting Sarajevo was how welcoming and positive the people were, after all that the city and its inhabitants had gone through. That thought brought back the sadness about the war that I hadn't felt in such intensity since I was as a child and those events were ongoing, some 30 years ago. On a different trip through Bosnia, in another town, a friend of mine asked a local who was fighting whom in that area. His (completely serious) reply was: "Here? Well, in this part, Serbs fought Croats and Muslims, Croats fought Serbs and Muslims and Muslims fought Serbs, Croats and Muslims." (!!!) It drives home how crazy the war was, and how it wasn't what any of the ordinary people wanted. Unfortunately, the war "wounds" mean that nowadays, the peoples of BiH, in a large degree, actually resent one another, which wasn't the case before the war. This state is maintained by the political elites, because ethnic tensions, presented as the matter of survival (which is helped by the memory of the war) work great as a distraction from poor economy and widespread corruption. Still, the people all over Bosnia and Herzegovina remain genuinely kind and that gives hope.
@@808hubb eww... That's... Weird. The only word for "yes" is "da", though! I hope those that apparently do use that stop using that completely and entirely, since it doesn't sound nice at all.
What a high quality content this was again. I really enjoyed this video. Mixing with the locals, letting them tell their stories. This was one for the list of your best!
Thanks for sharing really enjoyed; three lessons I noticed: 1. Kindness and sencerity in the interactions with the locals, who otherwise went thru the horror of war. 2. War's two faces, that of the Generals/Commanders in the palaces and the soldiers/common people in the trenches. 3. Western contribution to the "destruction" of Yugoslavia, not just bombs, indeed rotten canned food.
I'm from Venezuela, and Diego Arria was our ambassador at the UN. He kept warning about the conflict and danger of muslims being killed there... He made a book about the utter failure of the UN.
While containing less train hopping than in prior episodes, I really enjoyed your video. Especially the last part with der Deutsche mann and that part of the country. Bravo.
I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you very much. You are having a great adventure meeting lovely warm people on your travels. Very interesting and insightful.
Great video! Really showed the actual Bosnia, I was very excited and surprised when you jumped out of the train at Zavidovici it's a town I spent a lot of time in during a couple summers when I was a kid. I'm Dutch but my father worked a lot in that town managing a factory. It was a humbling experience as a western kid to visit remote Bosnia, the signs of war still all around you, bullet holes, landmines, a nation wanting to rebuild but stopped in its tracks by a corrupt government. The people are very kind and open, their food I didn't like so much but some bread with cevapcici drenched in sour cream was always amazing. If you ever find yourself in Zavidovici it's worth checking out the forest of spheres, it's a rare natural phenomena
when i was a kid we would play in buildings that were destroyed/abandoned, it wasnt until i got older that i realized that those homes were shelled and destroyed
@@emrahmulahusic6976 I would love to visit the town (and Bosnia as a whole) again some day to see what has changed in the last 15 years and test how much of the Bosnian language I still remember 😁.
@@moon_bandage the best time to visit is when its december at the end of the year , because people from the town mostly work in europe and in that time they are back and town became more colorful and live
Thank you for explanation. I expected the last freight train to stop in Capljina before crossing the border with Croatia. But it was abandoned in Konjic so I didn't visit your town.
@@ivantrainsLIVE 33:14 Ado is her cousin, her's and Ado's father are sons of two brothers (if that makes sense). Funny thing, "shiey" cycled thru Čapljina in his Cycling to Adriatic sea part 3. If you are near here next time, I'm buying you a beer. Cheerse.
You keep referring to the Bosniaks as Bosnian which is wrong because we are all Bosnian the difference is in our ethnicities which are Bosnian Serbs, Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Bosniaks
As a person from Mostar i always loved noticing locations i have been,like Španski Trg (The spanish square) Stari Grad (old town) and of course Stari Most (Old Bridge), I also love how you included Gimnazija (The orange building near spanish square) and Musala,i laughed a few times,and your mentions of the war truly seemed respectful and purely educational,truly a great video!
Another very good journey, showing some history, different sites with there stories. The people there are happy despite the recent war that took place there.
43:33 this is why I always visit Bosnia and Herzegovina in the summer (long-term subscriber who is coincidentally watching this whilst on a bus from Podgorica to Sarajevo)! 😮😊👍
You should visit Jajce middle age Bosnian castle and Bjelašnica is one mountain to visit more. And how he speaks with his Slavic people I love how you both still understand eachothers.
Хорошо чтобы смотреть тебе путешествовать по разных страных, я пробавю учиться русский язык поэтому понимаю как трудно выть учить англлйски из русского языка. Отличный видео, мне много нравится!!
That was a really nice experience to watch, especially the exchange with the local folks including the German-speaking dude (who had quite an accent, sounded a bit Swiss). Great work, keep it up :)
@@dilakanalnative speakers of Germanic and Romance languages have a VERY hard time distinguishing Slavic languages from each other. It tends to all simple sound vaguely Slavic to us. I've learned very basic Russian (A1 level) and I can still only hear that it's either Russian or "some other Slavic language". This is odd because I know one Romance language (French) but can still hear the differences between the other major Romance languages and identify them. However with the Slavic languages, it's a big blur. But I'm far from alone. Its seemingly a universal experience for us.
@@RobespierreThePoof yeh ive taught myself really basic russian through memes and learning th alphabet lmao and even i could tell that wasn't russian but i understood a few words and could figure a few out as well.. i use to be able to tell the difference between most slavic languages but i haven't even hear any in a long time to be confidently say which is which, aside from russian and maybe polish
5:41 to explain this, there was a jewish man named zoran mandlbaum that would help many people in mostar during the war in the 90s, he would help them cross the neretva by falsifying their documents to appear as jewish, so either side would let them pass the israel flag next to the herceg-bosna flag is a sign of gratitude towards zoran
@@ivantrainsLIVE I belive that Israeli flag is there for Abrams company which owner change names of the streets in Mostar. They own biggest company in Mostar. But mayb its just me. Greetings from Mostar, wellcome bac in summer when the city is like 500 times more lively, and also be prepare for some great heats, its like hell in summer here
from all the places i have visited in my life, mostar is the one i would like to go back most. loved this incredible country and its people when i managed to spend there some time. the last part of the video presents my life in romania when i am there:) btw do you happen to know the titles of any of the three or four films your friend mentions ?
Koja dobrota ljudi, ovi iz Čuhovića, kako jednostavan i fantastičan narod, duševni, čistog srca. Bosna je jedina od svih 6 republika sa ovako gostoljubivim narodom.
Thank you for taking us along to this very insightful trip. Generally, I would like if you show the food of the places you visit, don't know if that's your thing but for me it's very interesting too. I'll have to visit some time too. Keep up the great videos and all the best
I have been interested in Bosnia ever since the 1990s when I was a child. Its nice to see a video which doesnt only show the typical Sarajevo sites that always show up in documentaries. The proliferation of nationalist symbolism in the form of non-Bosnian flags is fairly significant. Your focus on Turkish architectural elements is fairly interesting as well. That gets racialized when ethnic tensions flare with many ultra-nationalists calling the Bosniak "Turks" (they aren't.). Okay the Olympic site shows up in many videos... but your time with the ethnic German and the old couple in that remote village speaks volumes about the culture and people - in ways that most journalists have a hard time doing. Perhaps it's the fact that they are seen as journalists and that changes how people interact with them. Or perhaps it is your Slavic cultural manner of interacting with rural folks and your understanding of how Slavic hospitality works. In any event, thanks.
The reason they are called Turks is not based on ethnicity rather for their betrayal and converting to Islam based on lower taxes and better threat meant by the Turkish while Christians have been second class citizens and have been the subject of slavery under Islamic jurisprudence
Ofcourse that Croatian people will raise croatian flag because they were unwanted people there in the war, like they don't belong there although they are natives there.
Not to take away from his ability to speak different languages, he’s indeed very talented, but I’d like to mention that Bosnian and Russian are both Slavic languages so there is a level of mutual intelligibility that allows people to have basic conversations without a need for a translator. But yeah, this guy is talented nonetheless.
Kerovi are dogs(slang), "namazati krišku" means put something on bread to eat. It's a sweet gesture that bosnian mothers do to their children while they're playing. A kriška is a slice of bread. Babo means dad, she tried to explain her whole family to you in bosnian lol
Hi, I speak Russian, English and German. Used to learn Czech for several months. Thanks to this, I more or less understand (but not speak) some Slavic languages because they have a lot in common with Russian (my native language).
@@ivantrainsLIVE No worries man, it's a great video and probably one of the most impressive things about it for me was how you were able to handle so many different languages so well. Looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
Hi Ivan, I absolutely love your adventures, very inspiring and genuine. Watching it helps me get beyond my comfort zone a live more freely :) Good luck and stay safe, Jana from Svk :)
I would like to see these places someday.. the rural areas looked great, I enjoy the forests a lot. The history of an region and the peoples stories really are incredible.. if I can ever get to Europe and visit my ancestral homelands.. I would love to see Eastern Europe.. all of it.
I would just like to add that you were street away where Gavrilo Princip killed Franz Ferdinand which spared World War I and changed the course of the world. Sarajevo is such a beautiful city. Also at 17:05 you can see behind an Eternal Flame which symbolized unification of Yugoslavia back in Tito's time (that turned out well).

As a turkish guy never i have been in bosnia but this video impressed me a lot about bosnia
Come to Bosnia you will be my guest
Habibi come to Doboi
Great video, wish you could come again during summer. It will definitely be more lively :)
That was a really nice experience to watch, especially the exchange with the local folks including the German-speaking dude (who had quite an accent, sounded a bit Swiss). Great work, keep it up :)
Man I'm impressed by your language skills 😂 English, German, Croatian, Russian...
He spoke to them in Russian
@@dilakanal mix of serbo-croat and russian to be precise
@@dilakanalnative speakers of Germanic and Romance languages have a VERY hard time distinguishing Slavic languages from each other. It tends to all simple sound vaguely Slavic to us. I've learned very basic Russian (A1 level) and I can still only hear that it's either Russian or "some other Slavic language". This is odd because I know one Romance language (French) but can still hear the differences between the other major Romance languages and identify them. However with the Slavic languages, it's a big blur. But I'm far from alone. Its seemingly a universal experience for us.
@@RobespierreThePoof Slavic languages can be distinguished by accent and dialect
@@RobespierreThePoof yeh ive taught myself really basic russian through memes and learning th alphabet lmao and even i could tell that wasn't russian but i understood a few words and could figure a few out as well.. i use to be able to tell the difference between most slavic languages but i haven't even hear any in a long time to be confidently say which is which, aside from russian and maybe polish
You should show what you eat on your adventures, im interested in that. Great videos брат.
Your videos are great yo. Most informative and a look at something I will never see in my lifetime.
I was there in September. Sarajevo and Mostar. Loved it.
Going in winter seems strange
You’re subscribers jumped past 100K while I wasn’t looking. Congratulations!🎉
5:41 to explain this, there was a jewish man named zoran mandlbaum that would help many people in mostar during the war in the 90s, he would help them cross the neretva by falsifying their documents to appear as jewish, so either side would let them pass
the israel flag next to the herceg-bosna flag is a sign of gratitude towards zoran
That's a peculiar fact.
@@ivantrainsLIVE I belive that Israeli flag is there for Abrams company which owner change names of the streets in Mostar. They own biggest company in Mostar. But mayb its just me. Greetings from Mostar, wellcome bac in summer when the city is like 500 times more lively, and also be prepare for some great heats, its like hell in summer here
Two genocidal flags
@@91commandosHaha, you can't cope with the fact that Croatia won it's war and in Bosnia too and Israel is winning Palestine
from all the places i have visited in my life, mostar is the one i would like to go back most. loved this incredible country and its people when i managed to spend there some time. the last part of the video presents my life in romania when i am there:)
btw do you happen to know the titles of any of the three or four films your friend mentions ?
Zdravo
Zašto ne pitaš mene? 😜
1 - Nebo iznad krajolika
2 - Gluvi Barut
3 - Duran
4 - nije mi poznat naslov filma, ali ću potražiti
Pozdrav
Loved your video.
Koja dobrota ljudi, ovi iz Čuhovića, kako jednostavan i fantastičan narod, duševni, čistog srca. Bosna je jedina od svih 6 republika sa ovako gostoljubivim narodom.
Bujrum 🤠
Thank you for taking us along to this very insightful trip. Generally, I would like if you show the food of the places you visit, don't know if that's your thing but for me it's very interesting too. I'll have to visit some time too. Keep up the great videos and all the best
Amazing place, Thank you Ivan !
your vids are dope, geiles Brot von gestern
❤ Brot ist heilig
Your English has improved so much, impressive.
12:56 is basically where franz ferdinand was murdered which started world war one... cheers from sarajevo
additionally the tank at 14:30 is from world war 2.. its an m3 stuart, along with the jeep
From Russia with Respect bro ! You have a good blog. Thanks
I have been interested in Bosnia ever since the 1990s when I was a child. Its nice to see a video which doesnt only show the typical Sarajevo sites that always show up in documentaries. The proliferation of nationalist symbolism in the form of non-Bosnian flags is fairly significant. Your focus on Turkish architectural elements is fairly interesting as well. That gets racialized when ethnic tensions flare with many ultra-nationalists calling the Bosniak "Turks" (they aren't.).
Okay the Olympic site shows up in many videos... but your time with the ethnic German and the old couple in that remote village speaks volumes about the culture and people - in ways that most journalists have a hard time doing. Perhaps it's the fact that they are seen as journalists and that changes how people interact with them. Or perhaps it is your Slavic cultural manner of interacting with rural folks and your understanding of how Slavic hospitality works.
In any event, thanks.
The reason they are called Turks is not based on ethnicity rather for their betrayal and converting to Islam based on lower taxes and better threat meant by the Turkish while Christians have been second class citizens and have been the subject of slavery under Islamic jurisprudence
Interacted only with the Muslims
Some of them are ethnic Turks or part Turks i.e: Izetbegovic family.
@@TheSouth-j7fne provaljuj se
Ofcourse that Croatian people will raise croatian flag because they were unwanted people there in the war, like they don't belong there although they are natives there.
Very well done. Thank you.
I love me some Vagabond
Always delivers an interesting video!
love the vids
I am very jealous of your ability to communicate in many different languages.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Not to take away from his ability to speak different languages, he’s indeed very talented, but I’d like to mention that Bosnian and Russian are both Slavic languages so there is a level of mutual intelligibility that allows people to have basic conversations without a need for a translator. But yeah, this guy is talented nonetheless.
Hes speaking in russian and they're speaking bosnian which both are slavic languages,and can pretty much understand eachother
Greatings from Zavidovici 👋
Hvala ti na lijepom prikazu naše lijepe Domovine ❤
Kerovi are dogs(slang), "namazati krišku" means put something on bread to eat. It's a sweet gesture that bosnian mothers do to their children while they're playing. A kriška is a slice of bread. Babo means dad, she tried to explain her whole family to you in bosnian lol
How sweet. Well, at least I was thinking in that direction 😅
@@ivantrainsLIVE just finsihed the video, thank you so much. I live in BiH, and never saw most of these places :)
Also Shiey was in Mostar in the last videos
Hi, How many languages can you speak? I enjoy your vlogs.
Hi, I speak Russian, English and German. Used to learn Czech for several months. Thanks to this, I more or less understand (but not speak) some Slavic languages because they have a lot in common with Russian (my native language).
37:06 just a note that "Sein Opa und mein Opa waren Brüder" is him talking about their grandfathers being brothers, not their fathers
Indeed, I made a mistake. Thank you for your attention.
@@ivantrainsLIVE No worries man, it's a great video and probably one of the most impressive things about it for me was how you were able to handle so many different languages so well. Looking forward to seeing more videos 👍
Another great video!
By the way the reason is theirs a Bruce Lee statue is because he was the only person that all three ethnicities could agree on.
love ya videos bro would love to link up!!
One of your best videos
Great video nice to hear the German language I could understand him.
Woher kommst du?
Hi Ivan, I absolutely love your adventures, very inspiring and genuine. Watching it helps me get beyond my comfort zone a live more freely :) Good luck and stay safe, Jana from Svk :)
I think they said "da jedeš" at 32:09 - "(for you) to eat"
Very well done! Next time visit us in Ivanica 🇧🇦
Should be hired as a Professional Journalist .. 🍻
Nice video as always
I would like to see these places someday.. the rural areas looked great, I enjoy the forests a lot. The history of an region and the peoples stories really are incredible.. if I can ever get to Europe and visit my ancestral homelands.. I would love to see Eastern Europe.. all of it.
I would just like to add that you were street away where Gavrilo Princip killed Franz Ferdinand which spared World War I and changed the course of the world. Sarajevo is such a beautiful city. Also at 17:05 you can see behind an Eternal Flame which symbolized unification of Yugoslavia back in Tito's time (that turned out well).
