Serbia, Bosna and Hercegovina and Croatia [Road trip]


I went on road trip to Serbia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Croatia. 

Bomb that hit the TV tower.
Bombed TV tower, today as monument.
 First part of the route took me in the city of Novi Sad in Serbia. It is nice small city by the river with castle watching over it on the hill. On the hill near by it is also old TV tower that got bombed by NATO in year 1999. Today it stands here like monument, only partly repaired.


After that I went to Beograd, main city of Serbia. It was build near confluence of Donava and Sava rivers. City has few buildings left unrepaired after bombings as monuments and warnings of war. It is nice city with really kind people, good food and old stronghold in which is place for old tanks and collections from different war zones and times. In the evenings some parts of city become really active. City has nice park with beach on the island on the Sava river.

Serbian Stonehenge near beach on Sava river.

Park around the monument.
Monument to unknown hero.







After two days of site-seeing of Beograd we went on hill near by that has on the top monument to unknown hero of  1st. WW. As pillars to that roof there stands Balcan women of all nationalities that gave sons to the first world war.

 
Srebrenica - places that remained us how stupid and unnecessary war is.

Mostar is know because of this famous bridge.
 After that we went to Bosnia and Herzegovina and went by Srebrenica. The village where the latest European genocide was committed. The place is horrifying when you think that much innocent got killed in a few days. Meanwhile NATO knew the situation and did nothing until it was way to late.




After few hours of driving we stopped at Sarajevo and took a sleep there. Next they we went on to Croation cost. On the way we stopped at Mostar.







Korčula, old city of rich.


Coming on cost of Croatia was refreshing and sea was nice. We also took a tourist hike in some old villages and on city of Korčula located on island with same name.

In Orebić we also took  wine tour at wine cellar Korta Katarina. If you have time and you are wine lover I recommend a visit.
