    Very nice video. Bosnia exceeded all my expectations, and I had an absolutely fantastic time there! It's such a remarkable country. All credit goes to our amazing tour guide Vekas from Bosnian Tours for making it so special. He customized the tour to perfectly match our preferences, and his dedication ensured that we got the most out of our visit and experienced the true essence of the country. It's not something you find very often with guides in Bosnia. Despite the short duration, we managed to explore around 15 different locations. If you're planning your upcoming vacation, I highly recommend considering a trip to Bosnia.

      There is no war between the 2, but when you look at how politicians are misrepresenting us, ppl could come to that false conclusion. We have no hate for Serbia, we just don't like the serbs who have beeen radicalised since childhood and raised to throw empty yet hurtful comments. But this is also due to being uneducated and it depends on where they grew up etc. Also, some Serbs born in Bosnia still call themselves Serbs instead of Bosnians. This is the mentality of some ppl trying to separate. But we have no hate for Serbia, they are our neigbours geographically and within the country. Same goes for Croats

  • @WANTED-BIH
    @WANTED-BIH หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hello, Bosnian here.. You have noticed and concluded well, people here are quite sociable and certainly if they look at you, it is some kind of attempt and acquaintance through that interaction of looking.. They want to get to know each other and achieve some kind of communication, but at the same time they respect, so they don't have that moment to approach you and ask you some questions. That's the reason if you sometimes feel that someone is looking at you a little more intently than is usually the case. Here, people don't live as busy as in the west, so that's one of the reasons. Because in the west you don't have time for any kind of acquaintance and therefore no time for watching... it's simply just running after a career or life. In most cases, it is a positive and friendly intention, regardless of whether someone has the feeling that they have somehow lost it or are hostile. Bosnians are positive and warm people ..a peaceful people and a people who respect everyone..how religious diversity is manifested in our capital city where you can see in one place four places of worship within a radius of 300 meters..from the Catholic mosque and the orthodox church as well and Jewish synagogues, to those differences in skin color...we really don't have those barriers or those problems of having a society that is sick and has problems with racial differences. In Bosnia you can be anyone...the most important thing is that you are a positive and good person with good intentions..Bosnians do not like injustice and it could be a big problem if someone loses their intentions..If this is felt, you will surely have problems if you bad person..Because Bosnians don't like that kind of feeling and that someone belittles them or that someone wants to take advantage of them..Bosnians like to host all the people of the world. they are not well-intentioned.. And I watched a lot of videos from various influencers who visited Bosnia, but most of them visited only a small part of Bosnia.. If you love nature, rivers, mountains, water sources, forests.. then most people did not record Bosnian beauties.. also, most of the cities have not been visited..and Sarajevo too..People are based only on the old town...Sarajevo has more interesting things to offer in all its parts...Many people have not visited the source of the Bosna River, which is close to the city and is located is about 10 kilometers if you look from the point of the so-called old town... Sarajevo has a lot to offer both in the city itself and around the city itself :) Greetings and welcome to Sarajevo and come back again :)) Bienvenidos y trátense como anfitriones :)

    Bosnia is like a small country as well, Sarajevo is beautiful and kind of big, but still very familiar…so you also know “the faces” that you meet on everyday base. Even the biggest national and international stars like Dzeko, or Dino Merlin are walking around the city and sitting around, drinking coffee and nobody really cares, because they are also neighbors somehow, there is a saying in Sarajevo: nobody could be a star here!
    You can be a designer in Italy and create clothes for the biggest stars and you couldn’t sell your products in your own country, because there is always one person who knows you when you were a child, when you do something stupid, or look stupid, when your nose runs…so how can you be a star designer for this person and there is always someone you know, that knows you…so it’s very familiar and when you see different faces that you can’t assign to anybody, you are interested, it’s not like staring in a negative way, it’s more the interest: oh look at him! Where is he from, is he a tourist, is he working here, living here…you somehow try to put him in your own familiar world, so when you see him the next time you know: ahhh that is my Turkish friend from Istanbul - for example. Also black persons, we have like our black basketball player in the women team, he is a national hero for us…there is no racism (generally spoken - there are some idiots everywhere), but it’s just the curiosity who the new person you don’t know is.

    American girl that has no job, my recommendation is to try working with Virgin Pulse. They are opening a headquarters in Sarajevo - it's an American company and she as American can get employed there easy. And it's one of the best companies around to work for, as I heard. So I will keep my fingers crossed for her!

      Very true, as a Bosnian as much as I would love for ppl to come live here, I have to say to do so when you have secured a job or to come touristically if you don't wanna stay. It is really hard for us Bosnians to find a job, not to mention foreigners coming in. So do be vary of that because corruption is at a stupid high in our country and paperwork takes ages, as well as being able to visit doctors. However, touristically it's an absolutely amazing place for all people, no matter skin colour

Although Bosnians have mostly light tan, this is very mixed area, it’s not unusual to see people who look like this guy…
