Bosnia war tours on offer
The formerly war-torn state of Bosnia is receiving a growing number of tourists – including many who want to find out more about the conflict that devastated the region during the 1990s.
The BBC News website this week features an article on the country’s first licensed tour guide, Zijad Jusufovic, who runs several tours around the city of Sarajevo, the town of Srebrenica (the scene of the worst atrocity of the Bosnian war), and to the former home of Radovan Jaradzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader.
The BBC quotes the guide as saying: “Visitors want to know what happened, why it happened and how Bosnia is today. In the end, my message is always the same. War is stupid. Everybody loses.”
The article centres on Jusufovic as he escorts a Polish tour party around the country; in coming weeks parties from as far afield as Chile and Turkey are expected.
