Our HONEST First Impressions of SARAJEVO, BOSNIA 🇧🇦 (NOT What We Thought!) | The Traveling 3 Ep. 12

[@thetraveling3]

Some people in the comments have brought to our attention the fact that we misspoke about the Bosnian War by calling it a "civil war." We just wanted to thank you for clarifying the terminology and want to apologize for having caused any upset. Please know it was not our intention to offend anyone, and we will be more careful to use correct terminology in the future. Thank you all for sharing your perspectives and knowledge with us 🙏❤

[@osmaks1518]

No need for apologies, it was the textbook definition of a civil war, first in Yugoslavia then in Bosnia & Hercegovina (locals fighting locals) with outside influence. Some people are just but*hurt and they like to cry too much for nothing..

[@tarik6990]

@@osmaks1518 Courts have ruled that it was a war of aggression. Arkan and others came from Serbia.

[@ARBiH-BosnaBosnjaciBosna]

It was an act of aggression from Serbia, Montenegro and Croatia receiving support from local nationalist Serb and Croat guerilla or terrorist organizations.

[@meinihruns1090]

Exactly. Not a civil war, but aggression from 2 countries (Serbia and Croatia) against Bosnia

You guys had nothing to worry about drinking the water from the fountain. It's completely clean & there has never been a case that I heard that someone got sick drinking from it or from any of the mosques in the area that have a water fountain. I might say, Bosnia has one of the most freshest & cleanest water in Europe. Coming from a Bosnian here. Glad you guys had a great time!

[@thetraveling3]

That makes sense! We did drink tap water while we were in Bosnia. We just tend to be a little over cautious because we've had some experiences getting sick while traveling 😆

[@Iliryandescendant7]

Welcome to Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦. You guys have to come back and explore more of Bosnia. Well done job on covering various spots that tourists may need. Wishing you good luck in all adventures.

[@thetraveling3]

Thanks so much! 🤗 Bosnia and Herzegovina is definitely on our list of countries to go back to. We'd love to visit some lesser-known areas. Any recommendations?

[@samodamir]

​@@thetraveling3gotta visit Mostar, Stolac or Pocitelj, you have to see that kind of beauties in hercegovina.

[@thetraveling3]

Thank you! We actually have a video on Mostar :)

Welcome to my homeland, greetings from Iowa! Just so you know I am just a tad bit jealous 😅 great video 👍🏻

Thanks so much for watching! What an INCREDIBLE country you come from 😍🇧🇦

[@kemalkadic5616]

Tunnel that you have walked thru used to be a part of railway line from Sarajevo to Belgrade and was terminated back in the seventies (train was very famous locally because it was the cheapest way of transport to Belgrade and the locals had the name "Ćiro" for the train as it used to run on coal). This year they will restore this line but as a bicycle track all the way to nearby town of Pale. You will be able to use for hiking it on your next trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

[@thetraveling3]

Wow that's great! Thanks so much for sharing 🫶 We're looking forward to seeing its completion!

[@itasco24]

Amazing nature. Excellent video

Welcome, hope you made the most of it. I can also recommend Visoko, Travnik and Jajce.

[@thetraveling3]

Wow, all of those places look incredible 🤩 It looks like we'll have to spend more time in Bosnia & Herzegovina in the future. Thanks for watching and sharing your recommendations 🙌

In Bosnia was not a civil war, there was agresion by neighbours (Serbia & Croatia) .

[@thetraveling3]

The scope of this video is to showcase Bosnia's beauty and resilience, so we did not address the mixed opinions that people have about the war - we only briefly touched on some history. We understand this is a sensitive subject and sincerely did not intend to offend anyone. Apologies if our wording upset you 🙏

@@thetraveling3 No problem, now you know. It's ok not to know all the details and it's unfortunately a common misconception that tourists have about the war.

[@osmaks1518]

Nonsense, it was a Yugoslav civil war. But regardless of the name of the state, it was a civil war because the Serbs & Croats were locals living inside BiH. Same as Serbs that lived in Coatia. So it is textbooks definition of a civil war.. If your "feelings" are but* hurt, that's your problem..

Lovely video - thank you for taking the time. It certainly looks like a place worth visiting although, like you, I'll be extremely tempted to shop for those little teapots and whatnot! Also, you guys need to remember to take food with you on your adventures - or start keto! :D I look forward to watching more of your vids; you have a new subscriber. :)

Sorry, it wasn't a civil war, as they want to present it, but it was an aggression by the Bosnian Serbs and Serbia against the Muslim people in BiH. Greetings and I wish you a pleasant stay.

[@thetraveling3]

Thank you for your input, and thanks for watching 🙏

[@dejandurdic4119]

War started in Slovenia 🇸🇮 and Croatia 🇭🇷 and then Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦...civil war 1992 April. Including Muslim people and above, everyone had they armies.

@@dejandurdic4119no, you lie mamu ti mrtvu.

[@daisylovett]

Of course it was civil war, people were fighting for the same land bec they lived there for centuries. Serbians and Bosniaks both lost lives but the ones starting it all were the American elites. Its important to point out the real enemy people, stop fighting and blaming each other-thats exactly what the West wants you to do

[@vodokotlic4275]

It was not a ,,bosnian civil war" ! It was an aggression by serbia and later by croatia too.

btw. the tunnel was Austro-Hungarian railway line built in 19th century

[@thetraveling3]

We discovered that 😅 But they did have one shop with reasonable prices, so we found what we needed :) Thanks for the info on the tunnel! And thanks for watching ☺️

[@farukhadzic6642]

Thank you very much for your visit and beautiful comments. Sorry but I would like to add something. The person who killed Austrian Frsnz Ferdinand is Bosnian Serb who had support from Serbia. They would provoke the Austro-Hungarian Empire to declare war on Serbia. That is when their supportive friend Russia, they hoped, would leap to the defense of Serbia, defeat the Habsburg armies, and help the Bosnian Serbs win their independence
