Socializing in Bosnia is very common and people mix a lot. In Bosnia people are born and most of them die in the same city. This gives one very large network of very good friends, many relatives and therefore many opportunities to do what Bosnians love to do: hiking, nightlife, summer holidays to the Adriatic coast (Croatia), winter sports and all sports in general, long walks on the main streets that are closed off at night for traffic (korzo), BBQ- no Bosnian will reject grilling for sure.

You are an hour flight Istambul-Bosnia and no visa required for turkish nationals. So get in the first aircraf and visit you Bosnina. Bosnia & your country are one county with many things in common.

Asalhiyati,

You may woned and question youself the reasons why those man love to go to Bosnia. I can tell you that it changes as soon as they arrive in case of those comming with the ill minds. Please be our guest and build your own perceptions based on your own experiences. We Bosnians are true welcomers and still maintain our genuine love and smile for our guests.

Regards
Bozzy

excuse me but i am bosnian by my self and i know exactly what i am talking about, Arabs & Turks dream is to get married to a bosnian women and u dont need to protect them i dont blame them but it not even worth it. Its not like Bosnian women are better then arabic actually i thing the opposite. Especially after the war alot of good bosnian ppl escaped away so now its only living bosnian farmers,maffia, arabs/turks, chinese ppl that wanna sell & buy. Just open your eyes Kenan

Well,we Turks want to everything okay for Bosnia , We have blood links each other , we have many emontional things each other for example , our culture the same , our bread is the same , our parents wears the same , Those things are very far for Arabs to Turkish and Bosnian people.

Araps never/ever imagine how do Bosnian people hard-working,how do Bosnian people singing from them heart

I am not Bosnian , I am Turkish , I love very very much Bosnia ,

When Bosnian people have got visa from other country , then they forget completely the Bosnia.

I would like to get marrige with a Bosnian lady rather than others,

I'm an Arab, and I do agree with you that most Arabs don't appreciate what they have, and most of them don't value hard work. It's a shame honestly, but it really explains why and how we became so weak and pathetic for the last 100 years. However, the new generation shows some good signs, and I hope the best for everyone everywhere

Im planning to visit Bosnia on July and attend the Bosnian genocide anniversary. My family suffered from the Israeli occupation and had to leave their lands, and I was only 5 years old, but my oldest brother always told me about it and he showed me some documentaries about what happened in Srebrenica. This made me attached to the Bosnian people, I've always wanted to visit Bosnia since then.

Honestly, I'm personally not interested in marrying an Arab, I wish to marry an Asian or Bosnian woman

what a mix right
