Bosnia Time and Date Bosnia and Herzegovina Introduction Back to Top Bosnia and Herzegovina (in Serbo-Croatian, Bosna i Herzegovina), republic in south-eastern Europe, in the Balkan Peninsula, bounded on the north and west by Croatia, and on the east and south by Serbia and Montenegro. Formerly a constituent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina declared its independence in March 1992. Civil war then broke out in the country as Bosnia and Herzegovina became involved in the Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian War. Bosnia and Herzegovina (often referred to simply as Bosnia) has a territory of about 51,129 sq km (30,677 sq mi). After the 1995 peace accord, however, the country was formally split into a Muslim-Croat federation controlling 51 per cent of its territory, and a Bosnian-Serb statelet with 49 per cent. Sarajevo is the republic's capital and largest city. Official Name -Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia Culture. In each part of BosniaHercegovina, churches and mosques are being rebuiltat lightning speeds, but this phenomenon has more to do with nationalism http://www.alliancescp.org/html/countries/bo5.html
Extractions: Historically, Bosnians were a pretty tolerant lot, their land peopled with practitioners of Islam, Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism and a host of other religions and ideologies. Their art and architecture reflected this diversity, as did their cuisine. This brotherly acceptance ground to a bloody halt with the brutal bouts of 'ethnic cleansing' during the war. In the post-war period, memories of the atrocities committed by all sides remain fresh, and that spirit of tolerance has gone the way of the many mosques, synagogues and other symbols of divergent faiths that were torched and shelled during the fighting. Religious conflict is one of the unavoidable facts about this devastated country. Despite wishful thinking about a renewed tolerance and integration, the Serb Republic is almost entirely Christian and the Federation is almost entirely Muslim. In each part of Bosnia-Hercegovina, churches and mosques are being rebuilt at lightning speeds, but this phenomenon has more to do with nationalism than religion, since most people are fairly secular. Ironically, Serbs, Croats and Bosnian Muslims are all South Slavs of the same ethnic stock. Physically, they are indistinguishable.

Extractions: Sarajevo Mostar Tuzla and Banjaluka The University of Sarajevo was founded in 1949. During the past forty-five years it has become a powerful institution with 25 faculties, 12 scientific and research institutes and many other affiliated organisations and services, including its own press office. The educational and research potentials are significant, and respectable results have been achieved both at home and abroad. To date, 1675 doctoral dissertations have been presented. Thirty-two thousand students have attended under-graduate studies each year. Various art, cultural as well as sports groups, clubs and associations have been active within the University. The war which has been going on for last three years has put the University into an extremely difficult position: - Seventy-eight percent of its capacities and equipment have been damaged or ruined completely including the University Library, with more than 1,800,000 titles burned to the ground. - Financial sources have been exhausted and the material and financial position of each and all faculties and their employees are constantly deteriorating.

Extractions: Country Info Bosnia Introduction Bosnia General Data Bosnia Maps Bosnia Culture ... Bosnia Time and Date Bosnia and Herzegovina Culture Back to Top Mediterranean, western European, and Turkish influences are all felt in the cultural life of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and there are considerable variations between traditional and modern and between rural and urban culture as well. Family ties are strong and friendship and neighbourhood networks well-developed. Great value is placed on hospitality, spontaneity, and the gifts of storytelling and wit. Summer activities include strolling on town korza (promenades), and throughout the year popular meeting places are kafane (traditional coffeehouses) and kafici (modern café-bars). Bosnian cuisine is a matter of pride and displays its Turkish influence in stuffed vegetables, coffee, and sweet cakes of the baklava type. Folk songs remain popular and well-known. Bosnias diverse population has made the countrys cultural life rich. Epic stories, a form of traditional oral literature, were still sung throughout the country well into the 1950s. Bosnian urban love songs, largely Muslim in origin, were popular throughout the former Yugoslavia. Ivo Andric, a Serb who was raised Catholic in Bosnia, won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1961. His novels include Na Drini cuprija (1945; The Bridge on the Drina, 1959), in which a bridge from the Ottoman period symbolically united the peoples of Bosnia. The novelist Mea Selimovic was of Muslim origin but said that he wrote Serbian literature. The film director Emir Kusturica, also of Muslim origin, made internationally acclaimed films in Sarajevo. His film When Father was Away on Business was a finalist for the Academy Award in the United States for best foreign film in 1984.

Wired News: War Trauma Could Sabotage Aid A new study shows that depression and posttraumatic stress disorder can doom economic recovery in war-torn countries. Researchers say aid to bosnia should bear that in mind. By Kristen Philipkoski. Wired News http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,21157,00.html
Extractions: 03:00 AM Aug. 09, 1999 PT One in four war refugees in Bosnia and Herzegovina may be disabled by psychiatric disorders, according to a pair of Harvard studies. Psychiatric researchers at the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma said worldwide humanitarian aid to Bosnia and other countries devastated by war could fail without mental health assistance. See also: Saved from Private Ryan "Little funding has been put in this area because, in general, people haven't felt the importance of knowing the impact of violence and the disabilities involved. Most of the support is humanitarian assistance," said Richard Mollica, lead author of the study and associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Many disabilities were found to stem from emotional trauma, which kept individuals from working or otherwise leading productive lives. Even given financial and other types of aid, mental health problems could cause economic and social problems and thwart recovery, researcher said.

Extractions: Bosnia-Hercegovina Before the war, Sarajevo was the most Oriental city in Europe, retaining the essence of its rich history with its mosques, markets and picturesque old Turkish bazaar. The city's riverfront remained largely unchanged since that fateful day in 1914 when Archduke Francis Ferdinand lost his life here. And from 70 years later, when Sarajevo again captured the world's attention by hosting the 1984 Winter Olympic Games, you could visit the arenas of competition. For hundreds of years, Sarajevo had been a place where Muslims, Serbs, Croats, Turks, Jews and others could peacefully coexist, but this tradition of tolerance was pounded into rubble by Serbian artillery during the recent war, leaving over 10,000 people dead and 50,000 wounded. Despite the barbarity of the three-year siege, Sarajevo has once again attained a degree of normalcy. The trams are running, many cafes and hotels have reopened and tourists have slowly begun to filter in. Early visitors tended to be 'war groupies,' interested in seeing first-hand the sites that had gained such a terrible notoriety during the war, but even that seems to be on the wane. With luck and time, Sarajevo may once again become a vibrant metropolis. back to top Jajce (pronounced 'yaitse') is a medieval walled city of cobbled streets and old houses in hilly country on the main highway from Sarajevo to Zagreb, Croatia. Prior to the 15th-century Turkish conquest, Jajce was the seat of the Christian kings of Bosnia, and for a short while in 1943 it was the capital of liberated Yugoslavia. Here in 1943, the delegates to the second session of the Antifascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia proclaimed a constitution outlining the principles of a new federal Yugoslavia and Marshal Tito officially replaced King Peter II as Yugoslavia's legitimate leader.
