The romantic republic

The President of Republic of Srpska in one TV debat recently said that Republic of Srpska was the best place for living.

And it is! This young country is full of good people who love life and celebrate it always. That is the country of brave people who were ready to sudden changes, radical cuts and one completly new start. Beginning which was marked by great suffering, circumstances and pressures from a number of different parties. It is a country of people who are attached to family, tradition, customs, religion and faith. Who are proud of the history, glorious past and the entire development path of its people. With much love who all provide to the end and with great passion. Marked by closed circles, where everyone knows everyone and where everyone is interrelated friend, brother and best man. They are peaceful, friendly and hospitable. Always willing to help, to forgive and forget all the other ugly things from the past and to help to get normal life in the future.

This is a country built from ashes and mud with the educated and successful people, who are open to changes, new knowledges, ideas, and opportunities. People who are brave fighters ready for tough challenges of modern life, physical, biological survival, preservation of their identity and cultural space no matter where they are, where they go, return to or remain.

These people of specific mentality create space and they make themselves as the part of its unique identity. The space is really small, narrow and elongated, but sufficient. With several major corridors, extensions and connections that still allow life. Together with the areas around it, areas in the background, the regions that surround it, highlights, define and unify the whole space of culture.

And before the culture, this area makes its enormous wealth of many different spatial elements in a very small space that changes in a natural alternating rhythms and subtle imperceptible transitions. Large solid mountains protect it, cool and with a recall on some ancient magical time. Broad area of ​​gender barns with their mild waves are calming space and feed it with pure gold. Over rocky hill stone attracting history, culture and art, recalling the original homeland and the cradle. They feed the soul and constructing the body by separating water from land. Thin green river crossing space up and down giving him life, watering them with clean drinking water, with enormous energy and environmental resources.

Small villages are full of natural treasures, healthy food with the old way of life and work. They are full of the hidden jewels of small wooden buildings architecture, houses and wooden churches of unique architectural expression. The picturesque landscapes and numerous medieval fortress in the background calling for the disclosure of numerous unexplored archeological sites that preserve the traces of historical existence and the right to a space that is often questioned. Immediately behind the curve small man-mensural towns live quiet, withdrawn life, offering different way of life from all the others. There is everything close at hand. The way of life is quite easy and simple, reduced to the basic values ​​of life and work. Time is not lost on transport and other activities of urban vain. Everything in them is subordinated to enjoy the small pleasures of life. Love, family, friends, big houses for three generation with whole familly together and landscaped gardens. Small, narrow and winding roads between villages and cities hold the space together in community-related and dependent on each other. They admonish of the roads of life that flow with measure and slowly, without undue haste and stress.

Finally this is an area in the heart of European culture and the intersection of all its roads. This place is the devisor and the denominator of all other cultures. Everything here is a closer and intensive as possible. As cold winters and warm summers, sea and mountains, pure beauty and wild ugliness, village and city, war and peace, love and hate, east and west. This is a romantic and lulled Republic at heart of Balkans. And it can `t be imagined. Must be experienced. And it `s not living. It `s enjoying in life!
