This film shows the often unexpected outcomes of reconstruction after war , and demonstrates the complexity of international involvement in this process. CRIC researcher Dr. Ioannis Armakolas discusses the case of the post-conflict reconstruction of cultural heritage in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. The rebuilding of the iconic 16th century Old Bridge of Mostar was the most prominent and well-publicised international effort for the support of reconstruction of war-ravaged heritage in the Balkans. The "new" Old Bridge was to be a powerful symbol of reconciliation after civil strife , and through this project the international community sought to promote its vision for a new peaceful and multi-ethnic Bosnia. However, the reconstruction of the Old Bridge and other heritage in the city became contested. Ethnic and political conflict among the Mostar's main groups continued, not least through competition over heritage and war memorialisation. This film analyses the idea that cultural heritage reconstruction can become a means of prolonging conflict through non-violent methods.

www.TravelsWithSheila.com Mostar is the largest and most important city in the Herzegovina region. A UNESCO World Heritage site divided by the Neretva River with Croats on one side and Muslims on the other. Mostar was founded by the Turks during the 15th century. The city and famed old bridge (Stari Most) was the most heavily bombed following the break-up of Yugoslavia. Mostar has painstakingly been rebuilt, stone by stone. An easy town to walk around without guides since all attractions centrally located. (Our guide in Mostar was quite boring.) TIP Wear good shoes to keep from getting heels caught in the stone grooves.

To some, the name Bosnia & Herzegovina remains synonymous with the Yugoslav wars that ravaged the Balkan region in the 1990s. The country still bears the legacy of this, having a fractured infrastructure and a countryside that remains littered with mines in some regions. It's easy for even the casual visitor to quickly move beyond this prejudiced viewpoint and to appreciate the country's undeniable charms, most notably its lush, mountainous landscape, best seen from the vantage point of one of the national parks. There are plenty of positives to take from Bosnia & Herzegovina's urban centres too, especially the cosmopolitan capital of Sarajevo with its Turkish heritage and lively cafe scene. ********** This description is from WORLDTRAVELGUIDE.

CRIC researcher , Dr. Dzenan Sahovic explains how heritage sites from the socialist era have been transformed in the aftermath of the 1990s war in Bosnia. World War II monuments built to represent the national identity of the former Yugoslav regime at Kozara, Neretva, Sutjeska, Jajce and Drvar have been examined for their preservation, neglect ,destruction and reconstruction during and after the war. Physical alterations at symbolic sites are documented to understand the cultural and political changes imposed on societies through conflict.

The continued aggression against Bosnia and Herzegovina has not only jeopardized the lives of millions of people. It has also caused enormous destruction of many religious objects and buildings of value to the Islamic Community. Deliberate, planned destruction of everything that has been built for centuries in this country, done by contemporary vandals, Serbo-Montenegrin Chetniks and Yugo-army, has caused invaluable damage to the Muslim architectural heritage in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the whole Balkans. This video is showing Hajrija mosque in city Vlasenica. This mosque was completely destroyed by Serbian aggressors during the war in Bosnia in 1992-1995. The mosque is now completly rebuild.

CRIC researcher Dr. Ioannis Armakolas discusses post-conflict heritage reconstruction and memorialisation in the city of Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Tuzla had a unique history in the 1992-92 Bosnian war and its aftermath. It is a prime example of a political elite and a local community stuggling to prevent nationalism and division from taking root despite the ethnic turbulence and war dominating in the entire region. In the post-Bosnian war period, the local auhtorities reconstructed Tuzla's Slana Banja memorial complex by creatively combining socialist regime heritage with 1992-95 war memorials. The reconstructed Slana Banja became a prime example of how heritage management can be used for promoting a political vision for a less-ethnically divided Bosnia.

The CRIC Research project has investigated the use of memorials, commemorations and anniversary events to understand the way communities attempt to come to terms with catastrophic loss of life. Significant sites across Europe provide examples of the way memories of conflict are interpreted and transmitted, and the role this plays in post conflict identity formation. This film describes the development of the Potočari Memorial Centre at Srebrenica to commemorate those who died during the genocide against the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) population in eastern Bosnia in July 1995. Dr Dzenan Sahovic's analysis outlines the diametrically different views held by Bosniak and Serb groups towards the events at Srebrenica. His research examines the changing use and meaning of this contested site and the impact this has on Bosnian politics. The images in the film were taken on the 15th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide when mass burials and large rallies were taking place at the memorial centre.
