Thank you Armando. The vacation was top notch! We are enjoying the last two days to its fullest.

Jakov, what an amazing , and varied, way to go on holiday without leaving home.   What a great thread  .  For never having been, I have a history with Yugoslavia going back to early 70's ,  Mostly Dubrovnik and San Stefano (when it was still an island which now seems to belong to  Montenegro), the world keeps changing on me.   Every time I planned a trip something was going on , either in the area, or another part of the world which took my time/attention 
One of the places I would love to get to.
Sincerely, many thanks for sharing your good times and images,
Tom

Dear Tom, thank you for your nice words. I still call myself Yugoslav although i have a Dutch passport and i live and love The Netherlands. The island/peninsula of St Stefan is in the heart of the Montenegrin seaside and a real jewel of the Adriatic. Unfortunately, it is not accesible to the public as its owned by an Egyptian billioner. That is what you get when you ditch a one party sysfem in favor of market economy, i suppose. Dubrovnik is also a jewel now well known for providing a set for the Game of Thrones. I will continue to visit all former republics of Yugoslavia with my family and friends because it is simply beautiful and offers a vast variety of stunning scenaries for such a small piece of land on this planet. I took the crew to Montenegro and Slovenia. We have another four republics to cover

Early on in this thread, I began to miss the Classic Jakov spherically aberrated close up shots....but they arrived, finally, near the end.  I am also a fan of the blurred tilt shots as well.  Thanks for posting all of them.

Thank you, Kieth!

To round off this thread: it started with a pile-up and it will end with one

I took the crew to Montenegro and Slovenia.

Plus a very educational day trip to Bosnia

"We are now entering the Serbian part of Bosnia", the opening line when we passed the border into Bosnia and the start of a rather intriguing story that each town has a big flag centre stage for everybody to see claiming its adherence to Bosnia, Serbia or Albania which also determines the main local religion (Catholic, Orthodox or Moslim).

[Jakov Minić]

Ah yes, i forgot about our pyramid excursion in Bosnia.
Croatia, Serbia, and FYROM to go
Thanks JA!

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Nice pictures, Jakov. All of you obviously had a great time, thanks for sharing.

Just say *when* and I, like the other of the Team, will be happy to oblige you as travel companions to new regions of the Balkan

[Jakov Minić]

Plitvice, Croatia.
Ohrid, FYROM.
Take your pick, flora wise

[Erik Lund]

That trip to Bosina was quite remarkable!
