This website is about caves and mines, not about politics, so we will not give any details on the newest history and the war, which ended officially 8 years ago. Just a few general comments. Yugoslavia was a multicultural state united by the person of Tito. After his death and the collapse of Communism the racial conflicts resulted in a sort of civil war including pogromes and many other cruels. However, the war ended after an intervention of the UN and the country now has a sort of peace.

But we do not recommend travels to Bosnia and Herzegovina. There is still the problem of mines, as many areas were mined during the war and so it is still very dangerous to walk through the countryside. As the idea with mines is not to be seen, so it is rather impossible to see mine fields. And we still hear of paramilitary troops collecting "road toll" from travelers. Greeks living in Germany travel through Romania and Bulgaria, although it is much farer, because of this. However, this does not mean we will not list sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Just take care of yourself and don't blame us!
