A walk through Sarajevo
... All makes the quarter lovely! We'd like to get in the largest mosque in the city, but there's a service, so we just furtively watch the scenes unusual for us. I should remind that we're in European capital and we see men washing their feet, leaving their shoes and entering the mosque, and we hear a muezin calling for a prayer. I feel like I'm in Egypt or Tunisia!
After buying a few souvenirs (we finally exchanged money) we go for a Cevapcici, a traditional food. It's ...

While the Balkans remained under Ottoman control to one extent or another until the late 19th century, devout Moslems, Christians and Jews managed to live cheek by jowl without much fuss at all, ...
Bosnian love continues in Sarajevo
... earlier. I found Haris’ perspectives really interesting. It was clear he had lived through the war as his passion for his country was right there on the surface.
We went to a number of places around the city that were of relevance to the story of war – the Holiday Inn (the safest point in the city as it was occupied by the UN), Sniper Alley, the Bobsled track from the 1984 Olympics which was stripped and used by the Serbians as ...
