Kafana

Welcome to our Kafana

Coffee is the backbone of social life in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It's significance cannot be underestimated. At the end of the war the international community sponsored a 'tolerance' program to encourage the different ethnic groups to come together and talk. The billboard campaign around the country showed only five words: 'Tolerance. Let's have a coffee.' The picture was of a pot of coffee and steaming cups filled with the magical potion that heals ethnic strife. When a man wants to touch the waters with a potential new girlfriend he asks her out for a coffee. When you haven't seen a friend in ages you go sit and have a coffee. When you go to anyone's house, at anytime of day or night you serve coffee. When you want to strike a business deal you go for a coffee.

So what better then to call the place on our website where we can meet and exchange ideas our kafana, or the traditional bosnian coffee shop. It is here that we hope to meet you, forge new relationships, exchange ideas, inform you about what is going on in BiH, help you make the most out of your stay in Bosnia and much more...
