<div dir="ltr">Shortly thereafter, we continued to Budva. A beautiful city with many wonderful and kind people. I argue that this is one of the most beautiful cities on the Adriatic. Why? See pictures:)</div>
<div dir="ltr">After that, we continued to Tivat, Dubrovnik, and of course &#8211; the most beautiful city in the South Europe &#8211; Mostar.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not sure how to start this review of the world cup. It seems that It has exceeded all  expectations, and will, certainly,  become the most boring championship ever. Why ?</p>
<p>The first thing,  disgusting vuvuzelas! I really do not understand how they do not get bored ? Do you Africans do not have no respect for all normal viewers throughout Europe, Asia, America, &#8230; and is this the whole world has to adapt vuvuzelas just because of some  ridiculous tradition ?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="vuvezelas" src="http://www.merkur-online.de/bilder/2009/06/18/362463/1156181472-suedafrikanische-fans-blasen-vuvuzelas.9.jpg" alt="" width="475" height="356" /><br />
The other irritating thing is f***in boring games, with almost no chances. It seems that the Italians were an inspiration to all teams and the defense system has become a key of success. Where are the missing goals with 30 feet, goals from free kicks?  First dribble that I saw in the tournament was last night at the match England &#8211; Algeria, when Peter Crouch tried something a little &#8230; This left as they are forgotten.<br />
I am totally disappointed with the game Germany against Serbia. Btw, was that Germany  in general? Or is it a mix of Turkish and Polish players?<br />
And as a surprise, some small countries that have spasmodic struggle against western capitalist and keep the rest of the world face. These are certainly &#8230; Slovenia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Honduras.<br />
Btw, if you want to make world cup more interesting, I certainly recommend you to join the FIFA Fantasy Game on fifa.com.  Try to put together a team that will win the most points. Good luck! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Even to this day, this area has not been seriously explored by archaelogists nor historians making it difficult to know any concrete information about the population of this beautiful mountian. Further difficulties arise from lack of literature about the mountain and the fact that it is located on the border between two regions &#8211; Bosnia and Herzegovina. As such, Bjelasnica was always a part of two different administrative regions – that of Bosnia, and that of Herzegovina.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 471px"><img class=" " title="Bjelasnica " src="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/11389678.jpg" alt="" width="461" height="346" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Bjelasnica</p></div>
<p>It was thought for a very long time that this area was a stronghold of Bogomils, place where they actually lasted the most. In the scientific literature, the village &#8211; Milišići  is noted to be the last place where its residents accepted Islam in the 18th century named as the last place where Its residents in the 18 century accepted Islam. Scientific uncertainty still remains about whether or not the pre-Ottoman empire population of this area was Bogomil who following persecution by the Catholic Church were forced to find refuge in this mountainous area, and thanks to the geographical isolation and remoteness difficult permeances (inhabited the area )maintained until the XVIII century.</p>
<p>As has been increasinlgly advocated, one cannot rule out the option that prior to the arival of the Ottoman empire, the area was could have been inhabited by the members of the Bosnian Church, the Good Bosnians as they called themselves</p>
<p>Historian Jusuf Mulic in his recently published monographs of Konjic believes that this area was inhabited by the Vlachs who came with the Roman legions and migrated from the old Herzegovina during their nomadic movements across the Balkan Peninsula. They remained after the fall of the Roman Empire in the 4th century.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 503px"><img class="  " title="Studeni potok" src="http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/static.panoramio.com/photos/original/7501445.jpg" alt="" width="493" height="345" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Studeni potok</p></div>
<p>This area was inhabited in prehistoric times. It is believed that the site near the village of Gradina fortress Umoljani was established in that period. There are also sites in Crkvina located near the River Rakitnica on a hill above the medieval cemetery. These are the Illyrian-Roman, who were slavenised in Bosnia and pushed out of their old villages and  fertile areas to the mountains. Ilir-Slavic population was mainly engaged in cattle breeding and entered trade with Dalmatian cities. They  transported goods with horses, mules and donkeys. Also called the caravan trade.</p>
<p>Among others, the Lower and Upper Kramari villages are located in Bjelasnica. Their name stems from the word „kramari“ used by Vlach elders to denote „caravans“. Vlahinja village which discovered in two sites also testifies in support of this claim. All this shows that this area was populated by Vlahs and that it was a trade route towards Sarajevo.</p>
<p>The hypothesis that this region in the Ottoman period was inhabited by nomads-Vlahs is presumably the closest to the historical facts with regard to customs, way of dressing and other artefacts that are still remembered by our generation and which are quite similar, and sometimes identical to those in the Old Herzegovina. Also many names of this area as Bandić, Aljović, Fajić moved to this area from Herzegovina.<strong> </strong>In the end,  to this date some places have saved their names that could verify this theory, such as &#8220;Vlahinja&#8221; and so on.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Nosnja na Bjelasnici" src="http://www.rijaset.ba/en/images/stories/FOTOGALERIJA/NOSNJA%20I%20KULTURA%20OBLACENJA/Bjelasnica%20-%20Lukomir%20-%20nosnja.jpg" alt="" width="430" height="296" /></p>
<p>When it comes to monuments of material culture that could aid in solving the puzzle of origin and structure of the population inhabiting villages of Bjelasnica, especially before the Ottoman period, tombstones, many of which were found at several sites, fail to provide any vital hints.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Stećci" src="http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/7052502.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Specifically, these tombstones cannot be linked neither with Patarenism nor with the Bosnian Church, because they were erected by Orthodox and Catholics but rather with with people of any custom or religion.<br />
Already in the first census of  Herzegovina vilajet from  dating back to 1477, fifteen years after the fall of Bosnia under the Ottoman rule, Tušila village that that was a part of Zagorje Timar, that belonged to Gregory</p>
<p>At the timar there was recorded a house inhabited by Miroslav, the son of Radovan. Wheat, oats and vegetables were referred to as income which amounted to 214 akces, while on the other hand, in Drezica village for example, the same amounted to 1992 akce.</p>
<p>Ten years later, a census from 1488, Umoljani village is mentioned as timar of Sinan Celebija, son of Abdusselam. Muslim names appear in the first generation such as Hamza, son of Radin, Hamza son of Vukčin and Ahmed son of Tvrtko. Umoljani village had 20 houses and the total revenue of 1572 akce. This leads us to the conclusion that Islam came very early to the inhabitants of these villages and that after 20 years they began convert to Islam.</p>
<p>In the census of 1604 the villages mentioned are: Umoljani, Lukomir, Bobovica and Brda.  This particular list of property owners registered non-muslim names. However, this time, all proprietors were Muslim ( a total of 69, with an income of 13, 500 akci)</p>
<p>Evliya Celebi passed through this area in the middle of the XVII century, and mentioned the village Tušila and Rakitnica and some sites that today have no inhabitants. He takes note of a quaint mountain resort covered in green.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-35" title="1" src="http://bosnianword.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/11.jpg?w=500" alt="1"   />On 15 nth August 2009.,  there was an annually  prayer meeting at <em>Pervizi</em> village on Bjelašnica mountain. This event is a tradition for nearly 50 years. Village itself is placed at a beautiful valley of  Bjelašnica  (15 km south &#8211; east of famous ski place where 14 nth Olympic games was hold). About 500 Muslims were present at extremely sunny day (Bjelašnica is famous by its cold winters, but summers can be particularly hot as well).</p>
<p>Opening ceremony started at 11:00 a.m. with a speech of local imam Asad ef. Fočo. He specially emphasized an  importance of this event for a Bječašnica worshipers. Asad ef. also asked from Muslims to stop with unsuitable habit of drinking alcohol after mevlud ceremony, that appeared after Serbian aggression to Bos<img class="size-full wp-image-34 alignright" title="Muslims " src="http://bosnianword.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/2.jpg?w=500" alt="Muslims "   />nia. He pointed that alcohol  is not a part of  tradition at Bjelašnica mountain and forbidden by Qur&#8217;an. Ceremony continued with a recitation of mevlud in the name of prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.s), that was performed by Hamza ef. Lavic, Resul ef. Alic, Salem ef. Huric  and Omer ef. Zulic. After that, imam of Careva&#8217;s mosque hfz. Sadrudin Išerić said these days of  Sha&#8217;aban month are special mubaraq for muslims. He asked from people to increase their dua&#8217;s and make spiritual preparation for coming month of Ramadan. Mevlud ceremony finished by dua that was read by Asad ef.  After that, many people went to a locality near village Sinanovici to meet with their friends at a <em>tradition</em><em>al fiesta. </em>It was an event that Muslims will carry in their minds until next year. <span id="main" style="visibility:visible;"><span id="search" style="visibility:visible;"><em> </em></span></span></p>
