A country best discovered slowly

In Sarajevo, coffee arrives in copper pots while craftsmen work behind open shop doors. Farther south, Mostar’s pale stone bridge rises over the green Neretva, and at Blagaj a river emerges beneath a limestone cliff. Bosnia reveals itself through these small encounters: a conversation, a workshop, a quiet afternoon beside the water.
