Vi\u0161egrad bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vi\u0161egrad bridge, bridge that entered the legend, endowment of grand vizier Mehmed- Pasha Sokolovi\u0107, who was as a boy, in name of tradition called \u201cdanak u krvi\u201d (Turkish tradition of unwillingly taking young Balkan boys to Istanbul to become Ottoman soldiers, transl. note) taken to Istanbul, and became a vizier. Bridge was built in period from 1571 to 1577 by the most famous Turkish architect at the time, Kod\u017eaMimar Sinan. It was built in oriental style and represents masterpiece of construction of that period. In 2007 bridge was enlisted in UNESCO list of world cultural heritage. It was taken to legend directly because of our famous novelist IvoAndri\u0107, rewarded with Nobel Prize for literature in 1961 for his novel \u201cThe Bridge on the Drina\u201d also known as \u201cVi\u0161egrad Chronicles\u201d.<\/p>\n

Zmijanje embroidery, cultural heritage of the Republic of Srpska, BiH<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is considered the oldest hand embroidery in the Balkans, specific for the cross-technique and it is always in blue colour; since 2014, it has been found on UNESCO representative list of intangible cultural heritage. Even today, it is kept from oblivion by the skilful hand of the Krajina’s embroiderers, all with an end to preserving and cherishing the tradition and culture of their region. That same embroidery embellishes women and men shirts, dresses, wedding dresses and shawls.
\n\u201cA woman shirt embellished by the embroidery from Zmijanje was proclaimed the most beautiful at the Folk Costumes Fair in Paris back in 1936′.
\nThe folk costumes and games from Zmijanje are kept and publicly represented by the Cultural-Artistic Society ‘Ribnik’ from DonjaPrevija, as well as other similar associations of the Banja Luka region.<\/p>\n

Following the heritage <\/strong>\u201eSTE\u0106AK\u201c \u2013 Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Middle Ages, too, and in Turkish time traders and diplomats and armies and caravans were traveling through Herzegovina. It had been a ‘road corridor’ of the East and the West, from Cavtat to Dubrovnik via Trebinje, Bile\u0107a, Gacko, Fo\u010da, Gora\u017ede and Vi\u0161egrad, for the Drina river valley towards various places. They left numerous silent evidences, settlements and towns, medieval fortresses and tombstones known among the people as STE\u0106AK-s.<\/p>\n

Ste\u0107ak-<\/em>s, tombstones, form a unique spiritual, artistic and cultural phenomenon. They represent medieval art, they discover the way of thinking and sensibility of the whole era, and their size and ornamental elements testify the strength, position and influence of those above whose remains they were erected. <\/em>Ste\u0107ak<\/em>-s and marbles with epitaphs tell us whether or not they were erected by their wish or in their honour!?<\/em><\/p>\n

Necropolises, site of ste\u0107ak-s from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, thirty of them, have been on the UNESCO list of cultural heritage since 2016. Most of these necropolises, as many as twenty-two, are located on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina \u2013 in the country with the largest number of ste\u0107ak-s, approximately 60,000.<\/p>\n

Nevesinje (BiH) is the municipality with the largest number of ste\u0107ak-s tombstones in the former Yugoslavia, and with the largest necropolis of ste\u0107ak-s in the village of Krekovi in the Kalufi site. Some of the ste\u0107ak-s are decorated with symbols of Christian art, pagan times, but also other cultures.<\/p>\n
