Streets of Mostar / Ulice Mostara
Mostar is a small city that people have
lots of opinions about. It’s rich in history, a complete mesh of
architectural styles (like much of the Balkans), and full of
passionate kinsfolk who know how to persevere.
Mostar is synonymous with its famous
bridge; joining both sides of the dazzling Neretva, the stones eroded
through time by the river’s fierce current and grim warfare. Yet it
stands again proud, like a true Hercegovinian. And while multitudes
of tourists come and go, snapping their selfies to prove that they
have witnessed this piece of history, their Instagram stories do
not due justice to this town.
No, it’s the people who make Mostar
Mostar! The town is after all named after the bridge-keeper not the
bridge. Mostar is these people in these photos and much more.

Mostar je mali grad o kome ljudi imaju
različita mišljenja. Bogat je istorijom, mješavinom arhitektonskih
stilova (poput većeg dijela Balkana) i pun je strastvenih ljudi koji
znaju da to očuvaju.
Mostar je nazvan po svom čuvenom
mostu; spajajući obje strane blistave Neretve, kamenje je erodiralo
tokom žestokih struja rijeke i mračnih ratova. Ipak još stoji
ponosan, poput pravog Hercegovca. I dok mnoštvo turista dolazi i
odlazi, snimajući selfije kako bi dokazali da su svjedoci ovog
dijela istorije, njihove Instagram priče ne doprinose pravednosti
prema ovom gradu.
Ne, to su ljudi koji čine Mostar
Mostarom! Grad je ipak nazvan po čuvaru mosta, a ne po mostu. Mostar
su ovi ljudi na ovim fotografijama i još mnogo više toga.
