Mostar

Description

The scene of bitter fighting during the Bosnian Civil war, the destruction of the historic old town bridge showed up the ethnic tensions between the Catholic Croat community and their Muslim neighbours. The wounds have started to heal, and in 2005 the bridge, reconstructed from the ruins and stone from the same quarry which originally created the bridge, was reopened as a sign of the healing of wounds. Today the residents of Mostar fight each other for the tourist Euro, rather than with weapons.
