Introduction
Multifaceted spiritual and cultural practices have been the framework for Bosnia and Herzegovina developing into one of the most naturally culturally diversified countries in Europe. Throughout the generations of Illyrian, Byzantium, Western European Romanesque, and Ottoman influences the Slavic tribes of Bosnia and Herzegovina have harvested a resounding pride of the many ethnic backgrounds that dominate present day BiH. There are many anthropological and historically relevant reasons for this: a common language, common origin, similar folklore and centuries of harmonious community life. Daily life always brought the various peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina together regardless of ideological differences
This unusual ethno-political picture has seen trying times and has often experienced the wraiths of invading forces from beyond her borders... but the wounds always heal, the country always rebuilds itself and its long standing tradition of multiculturalism thrives even through the toughest of times. Bosnia and Herzegovina has emerged once again from the ashes war to maintain its harmonious coexistence with all three peoples, all equal heirs to the beautiful country that is BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA. Preserving the valued "OLDE" traditions of the past and welcoming the "NEW" ways of the modern world is what we're all about. This gourmet of cultures is preciously mixed in a mountain land of the southern Alps with Olympic Skiing, deep emerald river canyons, snow-covered Dinaric peaks, rolling green continental landscapes, and the sunny Adriatic coast. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a natural wonderland packed with a wide array of landscapes for such a tiny land. The people here are warm and open... with some of the best hospitality in Europe. It is a place where a man's wealth is weighed in friendships and family. We invite you to sink into her mystical past and enjoy the beauties of her magical present! (Source: www.bhtourism.ba )
