1. Pliva Waterfalls - Jajce The Pliva Waterfall is located by the town of Jajce, where the river Pliva meets the river Vrbas. It is one of 12 most beautiful waterfalls in the world, but the only one in the heart of the town.Before it dives into Vrbas, Pliva also creates two amazingly beautiful lakes, Large and Small Pliva lake. All in all this is one of the most amazing places in whole country.
The town Jajce has a rich history ( it has been the residence of the Bosnian Kings) evident in its 28 national monuments.
I could write for hours about the monuments in Jajce,this place inspires me and I went there several times, if you're interested you can see here:

Sorry for the situation. I already replied on other comments.

So if You allow me to summarize your experience in eBiH:
You will never again talk about Bosnia and Hercegovina. 🙂
You do not want to have anything more with that region.
If You see someone that say it is from that region, you will just try to protect yourself and silently make sign in the air against vampires....
😃
Am I right?
Right and wrong. ;O)
I will read more about the history and avoid to take any side part. It is always a sensitive situation.
I will still remember the nice places I have discovered in this nice country. And in the future I will pass by I will visit them.
And if I have the chance to meet people from there I will take the chance to make more friends.

By the way, if you travel to BiH - you must be careful in muslim part of state. There are some villages populated with radical islamists, their camps - and it is not good for health to go there.
Also it is not recomended to drink beer in public - and it is forbiden in some hotels.
If you come to Serb and Christian part ( Republic of Srpska) - you don't have to worry.

Silexu аre you a diplomat? 😃
If you are not, you should try to be one...(honestly)
"Radivoj NS Silexu аre you a diplomat? "
No, I am just a simple team leader that faced in the past tens of different personalities and tried to make them happy with their work and colleagues. ;O)
I am still not a good diplomat as we are not friends yet.

Obviously you know nothing about RL BiH and civil war. Lame you involve RL politics in your articles.
I know nothing indeed. But the pictures in this article were not proposed by me. They were proposed by other players. I am sorry I have disappoint you.
After civil war in 1995 BiH was diveded in two entities, Serbian and Bosniak. Aliya is considered as war criminal by one side and legend by other, it's not okay to say "surely legend of Bosnia" because only one person said it. Also what is the point of photo full of coffins here? One side consider it as genocide, other as exaggerated isolated incident. Thruth is somewhere in the middle. Anyway, Bosnia is pretty sensitive on this matter so in my opinion tis is not place for pictures like these.
I know they weren't proposed by you, but you should definetly check what you post.
After all, isn't point of these articles to choose the most beautiful places in each country? What are photos of people doing here? Can I send half naked girl of certain nationality here to be elected as the most beautiful photo?
Also Holocaust is term used for genocide against Jews, so completely wrong caption under 5th photo
Blaza Silni, I can fully follow your reasoning.
This was, as I said, the proposal from other players, both for pictures and comment. I was not aware that this can cause such pain and I am sorry of that. If such situations are disturbing other players I can institute a rule like the report action and banish certain pictures. As this was not the situation from the beginning, I am kindly asking you to ignore the pictures, if possible.
To end with a more positive approach, sending pictures of girls that fully represent the country visited is not forbidden. As a matter of fact the Irland's Picture Contest was won by such a picture. Of course pictures of naked girls would get a little bit of censoring.
Thank you again for understanding!
