If five years ago, the commercials I've been told that I'm going to marry the Bosnian-polutsygana polunemtsa, learned the Serbo-Croatian language and gather for permanent residence in Sarajevo, I would at least shook his finger to his temple ... But love, truth, works miracles
Mvoy first voyage in BiH I planned in September 2010., But came out lumpy pancake. Theoretically between our countries a visa-free regime, but actually ... I wish had a visa! To enter the territory of BiH must present an invitation from the Bosnian side or a travel voucher. I had an invitation. And here it was a trick. It turns out that in the Russian Federal Migration Service of BiH is considered dangerous country for Russian tourists, so the invitation must be stamped for permission to travel (!!!). Me that no one warned ... As a result - removed from the flight Belgrade-Sarajevo =)
This time I prepared thoroughly: and affix a stamp on the invitation, and tour-voucher issued. Flew to Sarajevo via Zagreb. Well, at least one scum check the documents properly! Upon arrival in Sarajevo was ever number. My young man held out his passport pograntsy further dialogue:
- A young man, and that the girl with you?
- This is my fiancee.
- And why the passport she had no Yugoslavian?
- It is Russian.
- * * Lybyas to the ears of the Russian Bosnian ?! * * Lybyas wider Horoshooooooo! * Slaps both passport stamp on the entry, not even opening the passport data * Dobroshoshli in Bosnia and Hertsegovinu !!!
My friends, hear about the upcoming trip to BiH, often reacted so:
- And where?
- In the same war ?!
- Go better in Thailand!
Here, this was not to be aware:
- Bosnians - are Slavs. Regardless of the religion they confess
- 30% of the population - Orthodox, 30% - and 30% of Catholics - Muslims. The rest who are in that much
- Bosnian Muslims are fundamentally different from all the others. They believe in the Virgin Mary, visiting with friends and Christian churches generally believe that God is one like you Whatever you call it.
- Bosnian Christians are not born yesterday. They Fame with your friends of Ramadan and go to the mosque on mood
- If a woman wears a headscarf in BiH, it does not mean that she is a Muslim
- Americans in BiH hate
- English speaking people = American, so it's best to speak in Russian or Serbo-Croatian bad than good English
- Russian man who knows a few words in Serbo-Croatian, open all the doors in BiH
- The war ended in 1995. Now BiH - the safest country in all of the Balkan region
- The locals living in the past and often talk about Yugoslavia
- Few of BiH citizens consider themselves Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks or. Most often you can hear "I myself Yugoslavia»
- The culture of BiH - a mixture of cultures of the Slavs, Italians, Ottomans and the Austro-Hungarians
- BiH is one of the greenest countries in the world
- 80% of the territory is covered by forests BiH
- Natural resources are under state protection, so their damage and desecration of wheeled into a period of 10 years
