Thank you once again for the detailed video. I especially like when you focus on something and shut out the surrounding noise. I enjoy when you walk through nature and ask lots of questions to the local people. I have a good feeling that the nice man that accompanied you to the town is Belmin’s dad? 😊
I am 28 years old, from Bosnia, and while watching your video, I was reminded of my childhood and visiting my grandparents in the countryside. You've awakened a sense of nostalgia with this video. There's nothing better than nature, children's play, a carefree mind, and eating fresh fruit. I don't think I'll ever have such deep sleep as I did during my childhood. Everything seemed more beautiful back then. Thank you once again for this clip.
@@BenTheRulesThe degree to which it was actually directly impacted by combat compared with how it may be been economically impacted seems unknown. As the guide mentioned, the fighting wasn’t as heavy in this area. The exodus of the youth seems to be the real culprit to the village disappearing. I have visited similar villages and this seems not much smaller than what it may have been.
@@DynamicCube It is war torn, the village where my family is from in Croatia, still has reminents from this War and animosity hence why its War torn, still finding mines from the war as well.
Yeah yeah, you are just looking for sensation, please leave Bosnia. Where are you from? I promise you I can find a village that is in much worst shape than this one. Enough of shity stories about our BiH ⚜️🇧🇦🇪🇺@@BenTheRules
@@BenTheRules Ps.. I commented on one of the previous videos… about 11 kilometers away from the city of Jajce. There is a neighborhood in the village of Kruscica that has been completely abandoned because of the same situation
Hi Ben. Thanks for a new film. I love your stories and communication with locals, I learn and understand more and more of Bosnian language. What is sad, it's impact of the fu...ing war, I wish people become more gentle, rich, educated and nice to each other. Greetings from Ukraine. Pozdrav.
Great adventure man! As a language learner that loves to travel in the Balkans, I would be really interested to know more about your process in learning the language? I don't know if you have covered this in a previous video already though?
I’m planning on making a video about this soon, but I learned it over time speaking with friends and especially traveling in the region. The people are really friendly and willing to help you learn
it doesn't , Sarajevo is #1 tourist destination according to National Geographic for 2024, and looks better then most European capitals, you'll hardly notice any signs of war... this guy goes to film places where people just don't want to live anymore, as they moved to cities.
In some places (rural areas), yes. The whole country is by no means like this-as the other commenter says the cities are generally doing pretty well, especially Sarajevo/Banja Luka

Sarajevo is an amazing city, and I’ve made some videos there too. I don’t mean to imply that all of Bosnia is like this, but I’ve stayed in this region a good amount and I wanted to show this interesting corner of the country. Pozdrav!
Sad to see that people just living their lives had to flee because they were the wrong religion (Christian) and that it most likely were people from neighboring villages who threatened them. Also, that the possible reason why this village was located so isolated far up the mountain was that the people who founded the village back in the day had done so to escape from Turkish oppression.
hey, displaced people go 3 ways, 3 religions 3 ethnicities(they are all the same), it truly is a messed up situation in bosnia, something similar is happening ukraine today, borther against brother, never again, tito was a saint compared to politicians after his death!

My favorite Bosnia Content Factory is back up and running!!!
You are back! Please visit more villages and talk to the locals because i like to hear their stories
That’s the plan! Pozdrav
Awesome video Ben! The amount of sheep those guys had was truly insane
Thanks Andrea :) hope you’re well! Walking through all those sheep was surreal, it was so loud 😭
the real Balkan experience is certainly on this channel 💯👏👏
That’s the goal! Thanks for watching 👍
Please don't call it "war torn", please. It's been 30 years since the war, Bosnia has changed drastically
The country isn’t war torn, but this village is. It will unfortunately probably never recover to the way it was pre-war

Go to plav and Gusinje it’s a Muslim dominant town in Montenegro the people there are nice and there’s plenty of sights to see, and hotels to stay it
Would love to go to Plav sometime, it looks beautiful. I’ve been to Rožaje nearby, which is also a nice place
Tnx for video from Stuparca ,I know all of those trails butifull place,that food you tried is called on Bosnian Dzanarika wild one.
“The food” is a plum called Dzanarika
Hi Ben! Nermin here from St. Louis Mo. I can see that you understand Bosnian pretty good 👍🏻
Pozdrav Nermin! You’re from mala Bosna 😉 I manage, but truth be told it’s a really hard language

Now I correct my post from below. Olovci may be pencils but olovo is lead (pb). Maybe there are deposits of lead nearby.
What a lovely trip! Doesn't Olovci translate as pencils ?
long time no sharing 😃
Sorry for the delay, hope you enjoy the new video :)
@BenTheRules No doubt that absolutely made my evening ! I'd love to see you more in Croatia dude! Pozdrav 😊
Next video will be from Croatia! just working on the editing now. Pozdrav
Olov is Lead like the metal, any lead industry around there.
Have you visited Visoko before?
Dođi i kod nas nekad.
Nope, only passed by in the car & train. Would love to go sometime though. Šta ima da vidim tamo (osim piramida!)?
Bosnian war ended 30 years ago and it still looks like it ended yesterday

@@BenTheRules All good, we’re just sick and tired of war stories and associating Bosnia with war.
It's good that the rakia wasn't made from plums.😅
Ahaha you’re not a fan??
Ljubazan narod Bosanski
First !!
Proud of you 😤😤
Ben we support you, I consider you Bosnian now 😂😂😂

If the Turks oppressed Serbs (Christians), why did Serbs attack catholic Slovenia and Croatia at the beginning? Your logic is kinda flawed.
@@lordnicholasbuzanthefearle2155because Croatia and Slovenia are Catholic and Serbia is Orthodox🤨
