I am sure that you have heard the saying, "Never judge a book by its cover". The more I travel the more I understand this to be true. Only boots on the ground can give one a truer perception of a place and its people.
I was in Zenica back in Fall 2002 with SFOR. Having grown up in Pittsburgh, I knew about the steel industry, but was shocked to witness the size and scope of the plant there in Zenica. I’m not sure, but someone had mentioned that the steel for the Yugo production was centered there. Can you confirm that? I remember driving through the mountains that were dusted with snow on the peaks as a sign of the approaching winter. I would love to return to BiH one day.

John we'd love to see you, and show you around. the country really does have so so much to offer
David, I’ll certainly keep you in mind. I’ve enjoyed your journey for several years now. Would love to make Rakija with you all.
Interesting spomenik. https://www.spomenikdatabase.org/zenica
From reading this it looks like the Zenica Uštaše were instrumental in creating the division between Četniks and Partisans.
I'll check that out for sure
