Originating in the 19th century as an equestrian race, the Nevesinje Olympics in the southern Herzegovina region of Bosnia have evolved into a two-week-long cultural celebration with over 30 disciplines, including sack races, tug-of-war and arm wrestling. This year's event attracted 1,300 competitors from eight countries.

Bosnia and Herzegovina has been stuck in limbo once again. A contender for EU and NATO membership, it has not budged on either path despite Brussels swinging the door wide open earlier this year. Despite the insistence from the international community that the country that saw a devastating ethnic conflict just decades ago can only be stabilised through membership in the two, Russia's increasing presence in the Serb-majority entity of the Republika Srpska (RS) has brought back concerns that the Western Balkan country of some 3.2 million torn between Brussels and Moscow might end up being torn ...

Surviving family members and children of the victims of the Srebrenica genocide joined hundreds of people in a peace march in Bosnia and Herzegovina to mark the anniversary of the 1995 massacre.

One participant passed away during...

Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2005 – with Bosnian Muslims, Croats and Serbs deeply divided following a brutal war in the 1990s – a bronze statue was unveiled in Mostar of a figure it was hoped everyone could agree on: Bruce Lee. The inauguration was attended by the late kung-fu star’s widow and the Chinese ambassador, and took place a day before a similar sculpture was revealed in Hong Kong, making it the world’s first public statue of the martial arts legend. Yet, after surviving a series of trials and tribulations, it mysteriously disappeared in March this year. Sculptor Ivan Fijolić’s ...
