My first impressions are the cute houses 🏠, good roads and… other you’ll see in the video. Decided to blur the guy who didn't like me, maybe he is from the Bosna Mafia haha, but I stil wonder what did he tell me in the end?

Beautiful video, welcome to Sarajevo. 🇧🇦✊

Sarajevo has a very interesting history. I'm glad you made it there!

you have to know that we Bosnians are tallest people, in average, in the whole world, with average height of 185 cm. :) tap water is drinkable..even most of our rivers are drinkable...you came to land of water...name Bosnia means water.

Sweet little girl dancing to the music 🥳❤️🥰

Thanks for sharing your travels in Bosnia with us. My father’s family were Serbs from Bosnia. I wish I could see Bosnia someday.

Thanks Sergey very nice movie. Love from Norway ❤

SERGEJ THANK YOU SUPER VIDEO SARAJEVO BRAVO.😂❤❤❤

Hello. Sergei. You made to Bosnia. Look beautiful there. Hello from Seoul.

Bro we have nothing against russians ❤❤❤ but we really dont drink in public thats all 😂😂 maybe this guy thought you want to tease him and understood it as provocation... and on the streets there are people from all over the world not all of the people you met and saw are actually bosnians ❤️ but cool video i hope you liked it in our country and you are always welcome

Thanks! For one kilometer of taxi ride😅 Make sure they turn them on. God bless and enjoy Bosnia. 🇧🇦 наслаждайся Боснией, мой друг

Mlada Bosna was his cover, he was a member of Black Hand (Serbian secret military society, which also assassinated King Alexander I and Queen Draga). Saray is actually Persian, not Turkish and it means palace. Today you can find places with Saray name in Turkey, Iran, Iraq etc., even Ukraine. Bosnians are not hostiles towards Russians at all, even though we have every right to be (due to politics). Russian affections towards Republic of srpska is noticeable in you very much. I wouldn't expect from you to know anything factful about how it came to be but regardless of all that, hope you enjoyed your stay. Kompot is not alcoholic lol

I am from Bosnia and i am sorry for that rude guy we are all here like mafia crazy😅 creazy people but with good heart belive me support for you fun video

Well done, very Nice vidéo! Thanks

A day in the life of Ivan Denisovitj is a good novel, good evening to all!

Thanks! For a pack of Drina cigarettes 😅 You look so cool and pogi with that cigarette tucked behind your ear Sergey 😜😍 lol hehe Ang guapo mo Segey😊😅...ingat po!

Here comes a long one again, hehe 😀 On another rainy day here (the sun is supposed to shine next week...) and a visit to the Breakfast Club in the cafe, this is a second attempt to leave a few comments here. Firstly, Sergey was very polite and gentlemanly in helping the lady leave the aircraft with her luggage. A small but very remarkable gesture of courtesy that you don't often find these days. It deserves to be mentioned. Sarajevo airport reminds me in its design and layout of our own tiny international airport here in the area and about 20 kilometres from my house. If it wasn't so rainy today, I could take a trip there and watch the passengers and planes come and go from the open observation deck (there aren't many a day) and enjoy the view while having a drink or an ice cream, I think either would be appropriate. Or visit the small aviation museum where you can see some old aeroplanes that were made here in my country when there was still an industry for it. Today it's all just Airbus industry ... I remember decades ago coming back from a trip to New York City and the US East Coast and landing on a domestic flight from the hub in Amsterdam, and there were no buses taking passengers to and from the terminal building, and people just walked across. That's a long-gone memory, but now there are some of these terminal bridges, like everywhere else. Sergey, Mercedes Benz taxis are not considered VIP cars here. In fact, they are more the standard taxi cars here (at least they used to be, I haven't used a taxi for years ...). It was also funny that the taxi driver asked you if you spoke my native language, I already told you that you resemble a lot of people here ... 95 petrol is cheap at €1.33 per litre in Bosnia compared to €1.80 per litre here (¾ of the price here is tax ...) SEAT is a traditional Spanish car manufacturer producing FIAT and Lancia cars under licence (just like LADA), which was taken over by Volkswagen in 1986 and just like Skoda offers Volkswagen cars in the Czech Republic/Slovakia in 1991 in a slightly different design than the originals at lower prices and with the same Volkswagen technology. I like most of them better than the originals. SEAT cars are now manufactured in factories in Spain, the Czech Republic and Portugal. The Audi A1 and Volkswagen Polo models are also produced there. According to Volkswagen, however, the new and future SEAT models will be sold under the brand name Cupra. The Ottoman sultans always had very tall and strong young men as bodyguards, called Janissaries, who were recruited from the local population in the Balkans, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania and Ukraine. In the days of the Ottoman Empire, it was common practice to kidnap young male children and feed them into the Ottoman army, which was always hungry for soldiers. If these men were not Muslims, they were turned into Muslims by force. Well, Sergey, we can see a similarity in your home country today when it comes to Ukrainian children in general. However, I can't imagine Putin recruiting tall foreign men to serve for him in his personal guard, because in that case he would have to wear even higher platform shoes himself so as not to look too short compared to them, and also risk falling over when walking around at public events (well, he's not afraid to take risks to embarrass himself and his country in every possible way, but still ....). As you can see in the video, you had the opportunity to see the historic and restored Sarajevo City Hall, a marvel of Austro-Hungarian architecture from the late 19th century, at least from the outside, when you attended the open-air performance of the music orchestra on the square in front of this marvellous building, which was wantonly destroyed by the Serbs in the Balkan war of the 1990s. The little girl who was having so much fun was so cute! Red clay roofs on buildings are common in most southern European countries with Roman history and near the Mediterranean (including Portugal). I like them a lot myself as we have mainly black roof tiles here. In the southern part of my country, the Mediterranean culture (with red roof tiles) is more present than in the north, where I live. Also, you can drink water from the tap everywhere (if it's not labelled as industrial water) and it's very clean. But many people drink "mineral water" with or without flavour, which they buy in bottles or cans. I have already given you recommendations on accommodation prices. All in all a very nice trip and Sarajevo is a very lovely city.

In Sarajevo people usually drink beer in the pub or restaurant but not in the park.

Thanks for showing what I will probably never be able to see! If you're ever in the US you have a place to stay on a farm in Indiana.

From the Sarajevo airport, it is a 10-minute walk to the trolleybus station. You don't need to take a taxi.

Thanks!

Good video. I still can't believe that the first hotel room had a window opening on a rock wall. What on earth is that? How do they get away with a window with a view of a rock wall? Asides from that the view is lovely throughout the route and town. It looks very welcoming from above when you see by plane the countryside and the red roofs. Beautiful video, thank you for posting.

Buddy yes you can drink in park and guy is actually local gangster you asked him

Volkswagen Golf is the most Bosnian car you can have :) I think every Bosnian has one or two times in life owned a Golf :)

Entitet(administrativna jedinica) "Republika Srpska" nije srpski dio Bosne, isto kao sto ni "Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine" nije bošnjački dio Bosne, svi djelovi Bosne pripadaju podjednako svim njenim građanima, kako Bošnjacima tako i Hrvatima, Srbima i manjinama koje zive u Bosni i Hercegovini.

Bosnian man are usually very tall and handsome, dark hair, blue eyes. 😉

We Bosnians are good people. Just talk and you will easy find friends

Very picturesque city, makes me want to visit one day... I think sometimes people sense when someone is a little unconfident in their surroundings or feel different or are worried that they may not be 'accepted' because of their nationality etc. and it draws out rudeness in some people. It's human nature, there are jerks in every country, try to not take it personally.

We need more Princips today more than ever, this comment was deleted so it is good to repost it ;)

Bosnians people known to be very tall in Turkey. In local language they are called " Boshnak" and there are more than half a million Bosniak lives in Turkey.

You’ll meet up with people everywhere with strong political opinions ,that man made his feelings pretty clear I guess. I couldn’t tell what he said as he was walking away. The city is very pretty, I hope you have a good time there and aren’t given a hard time about your country. 🙋🏼‍♀️

3:22 it’s a Peugeot 308 (French car)

Great video Sergey, sad that you had to encounter a guy who suffers from Russafhobia.

You be a lot more welcomed in Republika Srpska.Banja Luka and Trebinje are nice cities to see.

as a Bosnian (196cm tall) water is just fine from the tap. spasiba 4 the video.

Ooo I love RUSSIA and my mother speak Russian language. Selam from Zenica.❤

I'm from Serbia, I tried to figure out what the guy said leaving, but it didn't sound like anything Bosnian. Ending sounds like "two thousand marks", kind of a lot if it refers to some fines

BABA in Bosnian is a pejorative, meaning old woman, hag. If you called your grandmother that she would slap you. Baka is the acceptable term for grandmother, or very commonly just "Majka", though ofc that just means mother, but if someone is referring to their "majka" in conversation they are most certainly talking about their grandmother. The kids were most likely saying BABO, which is a regional Bosnian term for father.

It is not allowed to drink in public areas, not because of Islam or anything like that, but because of the law they introduced a few years ago. They are also trying to ban cigarettes in bars and cafes now.

The graffiti is a sign of disrespect and a lack of accountability. It’s considered a precursor as those committing it are capable of greater destruction. The more you see the more prevalent the discontentment.

Yes, we drink water from the Tap. It’s perfectly clean and purified. Makes absolutely no sense to buy bottled water here.

Thanks! For the beer

2:13 Ehrenmann!

3 Gobnicks at the little store!

24:21 That guy is just a piece of s. You can drink in public, and you are welcome. As Bosniaks and Muslims, we humbly welcome you. We like Russian people, and again, I really hope you have a good time. Some of us know that millions of Muslims live in peace and harmony in Russia. Thousands of Mosques exist in Russia, and religion is practiced without any issues. Don't let a bad experience ruin your entire trip.

Thank you for video. I hope you had good time in Bosnia. Bosnia have mixed culture and people with different religions, most of people are Muslims, then there are Orthodox Christians, Catholics and Jewish. Bosnia have all Religious institutions (Mosques, Churches, Sinagogs). In Islam girls should be covered, but we can not force it on someone as it should be done by heart to please God, we can educate them and encourage to follow religion, but only God can change people's harts. That is why you can see women who are covered and uncovered, even in same family there are women who choosed to cover and some of them did not choose it or stil did not choose it. I hope this explanation helped you. 😊

The best beer in the world is in Spain. If you ever go, try the Mahou beer. Found mainly in Madrid. They didn’t seem to be very friendly in Sarajevo.

The guy who phoned home. His "babO" answered - and that's an expression that some Muslims use for "father". There is word "baba" too, but that's not such a nice word as it literally means "old hag". There is a similar word for grandmother, mainly used by christians, and it's much nicer - "baka" (muslims usually say "nana" or even "majka" - literally meaning mother - we never call our moms that but we just say "mama" ).

Always haggle with taxi drivers for a lower price as the first price they offer is always the highest and you are supposed to be an experienced traveller Sergei!!

Always keep your beer in a paper bag so people don’t know what you’re drinking Sergi!

You can drink tap water, but it is not best quality, many people drink it in Bosnia

That car looked like a skoda, French, very popular in EU

SERGRJ IN TAXI.😂❤❤❤

3:56 Bosnians are tallest people in Europe, along with Dutch I think.

It's ilegal to drink in parks, on benches and places like that. Just in order to reduce chances of "public disorder". The reason why he said that it's a problem for you is because if you were a local, police would just tell you to leave. Since you are a foreigner they would likely use the chance to write you a fine. Whille leaving he said the amount of the fine you would receive. Nothing to do with Islam. It's illegal in the USA as well

push it

16:19 Vedran Puljic was a fan of FK Sarajevo who was killed in Siroki Brijeg 2009

That was a short live report 😮

push likesssssssssssssssss

SARAJEVO GOOD HOTEL CLEAN AQVA.😂❤❤❤

Hi, you cant drink alcohol in public because of law, same rule is in Russia for drinking alcohol in public...

Bosnia is hilly.

Actually, the guy tried to direction you to drink in Pub because in Sarajevo it is not so much popular to drink alcohol on the street (Sarajevo is mostly inhabited by Bosniaks, which are Muslim ethnic group. And yeah, to unsolve the mystery, people from Sarajevo don't like the Russians at all because in the war, Russian volunteers fought on the Serb side and destroyed Sarajevo, that's the reason why you maybe felt offended. Hope you enjoy in Sarajevo!

SERGEJ KES KES 😂❤❤❤ NOT DIGITAL HA HA HA MANY KES🤣😃🤠❤️

uvoznik means importer

25:02 I think he was rude, sorry for that, some people are just rude. It is not matter where are you from, rules are same for all people.

Its not forbidden to drink alcohol in public

I am surprised you’re drinking beer on the street.

It's not connected with religion,you can't drink alkohol in park because law..go in Bar to drink alkohol,I think they have alkohol in hotels and ewery where Don't drink on street..I am Bosnian Muslim but we have a freedom to choose and I am happy because off this. Try to found some local guide..

FojnicaMLK product from my city XD

23:29 Sad boy

LOVE YOU SUPORT AND NEW VIDEO WORK. THANKS😂❤❤❤😍🤠💘💖

You talk like you're telling a horror tale 😅

you can drink in public, its ok

You seem to be nice guy, and I'm sorry to say but the way you were treated in this video is simply due the fact you are Russian - the official Russia has been for ages a huge enemy of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbian big brother ally. During the previous war, there were also many Russian volunteers (in Serbian army) in the hills surrounding Sarajevo.

cevapi with ketchup??? don't start another war man :) you eat it like that, maybe add kajmak if you wish, no ketchup, never

Securty becos many trafic drogs wapons

i think that taxi was not that expesive because it is around 10kilemters from airport to hotel saraj

I think he said ti imas pravo za sve. You have the right for everything. Maybe he did not mean to say for you problem but for you no problem ti imas pravo za sve

The taxi driver was nice to charge you too much...seems like taxi drivers exploiting turists it's a universal phenomenon. You say that fuel is expensive? well, here it's around 1.50€, can you believe this robery? Very interesting historic-linguistical detail, the meaning of Sarajevo in the two languages. You shouldn't have been asking people if it was OK to be drinking, you don't have bad intentions, but people don't know you and it appears like you're putting up trouble, no one cares about what you are drinking, it is obvious that Bosnia it's the most liberal muslim country in the world. Just my impression of the incident.

16:18 Vedran Puljić, a fan of FK SARAJEVO killed by the Croatian police

45 euros for taxi ? Kriminalci bgmi

You paid that taxi too much 45 eu !? I live in Sarajevo,when u said hotel Saraj and when he drove you,he didn't need to go trough Republica Srpska thats 3 km more,than he drove you by Tranzit road to the exit of Sarajevo-Pale,than again back trough Tranzit road from the hill to downtown brigde of Skenderija to the city hall,he drove you to make his taxi-meter go counting what a peace of shit.from the Airport to the city anywhere it cost from 15 -25 eu. PLEASE TOURIST IF U COME TO SARAJEVO NEVER USE OR TAKE THE TAXI(they are thiefs) IF U DO WHATCH THE TAXIMETAR AND USE NAVIGATION FROM GOOGLE

25 euros to hotel saraj!?!? That man ripped you off, it should cost you maximum 10 marks.

You fail for propaganda and see Bosniaks like some extrem muslims. In Bosnia most muslims drink, not all woman are coverd and you see that you can buy alcohol in market or go drink in club. But because of problems that drunk people make we forbid drinking in public. That man want to help you because if police stop you and see Russian passport you are in trouble. Why? Because Russian government support separatists from RS and have hand on Bosnia, same is with USA and Turkey... sorry for my english. All the best.

most of the covered women int his video are arab tourists. Myabe only 5% of bosnian women cover their hair

Jokes aside, I perceive B&H a tad divided.

DRINA CIGARET SRBIA, RIVER DRINA IN SRBIA FAKT.😂❤❤❤🤠

As a person from Sarajevo, I am sad to see taxi drivers charge foreigners at least 5 times more expensive prices I am paying to them for the same rides. In Republika Srpska we like Russians a lot, but in the Muslim part of Sarajevo itself yeah Russia is not very popular to say it mildly. Next time I recommend visiting Banja Luka in Republika Srpska, I am sure you will have much better experience. A far I know drinking in public is not illegal in most cities but it is illegal in Sarajevo. Also tap water is safe to drink in Bosnia.

Uze ti taxo petobanku, hladno

Sarajevo je uvijek bilo srbsko

Bro why you even bother with those muslim converts. Come to Republika Srpska and you will feel like at home.

microwave and refiregrator you choosed bit old hotel better way is to take airbnb in local house or apartment

Everyzing here is very good about z sergey telling zings always saying z “something”

And dont worry about those majority muslims. They all drink rakija anyway or beer. Only 10 or 15% in bosnia is strict muslim

That a very bad hotel room and overpaid

Yes, you can drink water from faucet is drinkable water
