o svemu, izgleda da će 2012. godina biti posebna. Čak su se i u politici stvari počele micati s mrtve točke:
ono što je do jučer bilo gotovo pa i nezamislivo, danas se već događa; ono što se držalo nemogućim, danas
se već otvoreno najavljuje; o onome što je bilo tabu tema ili je bilo zabranjeno, danas se već otvoreno govori.
Kada se takve stvari događaju, onda, i bez obzira na stvarnu opasnost koja prijeti ponovnim zahuktavanjem
ekonomske krize, moramo bar malo odškrinuti vrata optimizmu i bar s mrvcu više osmijeha govoriti o budućnosti
ove nam države, ma kakva ona bila, a i naroda i građana koji u njoj žive.
Stari ljudi kažu, koliko ih njihovo pamćenje služi, kako je zima samo 1956. bila slična ovoj, no da ni tada
snijega nije bilo baš ovoliko koliko ga je napadalo ovih prvih dana veljače, i to, gotovo bez razlike, u cijeloj Bosni
i Hercegovini. Mnogi će reći kako je to loš znak: zatrpane ceste, blokirani gradovi, otežano gospodarenje. Da, ako
ćemo tražiti razloge za pesimizam, oni postoje. Pesimisti će uvijek naći razloge kojima će pravdati svoj pesimizam.
I s optimistima je ista stvar – i oni uvijek nađu dovoljno razloga svome optimizmu. Zbog toga, pogledajmo i vedriju
stranu ove klimatske „nepogode“.
Nigdje na svijetu ljudi nisu tako dovitljivi, pokretljivi, inovativni, kad je u pitanju preživljavanje, kao u Bosni i
Hercegovini. Povijest i težak život ih prisilili i naučili, a oni, jedino tako su mogli preživjeti, brzo su i učili. Tko prije
krene, prije će i stići – Tko prije curi, njegova cura. Ono skijaških centara što ih je bilo prije devedesetih godina,
svi do jednog su nestali, devastirani, uništeni – ni od jednog nije ostalo ništa, doli imena. Ponekad je i to nešto,
ponekad i mnogo, a ponekad je to i ono najviše što ste mogli naslijediti. Zimske olimpijske igre nisu se događale
svugdje i nema previše država na svijetu koje se time mogu pohvaliti. No, Bosna i Hercegovina može. I ljudi to znaju.
Zbog toga, ne samo da se tako žurno obnavljaju skijaški centri na olimpijskim planinama, nego se otvaraju i novi.
Nijedna država ne obiluje neizmjernim potencijalima za zimske sportove, pa tako ni Bosna i Hercegovina. Tko
bude brži i bolji, taj će uzeti i veći dio zimskog turističkog kolača. I zauzeti bolju startnu poziciju. Od nje ponekad
ovisi i uopće mogućnost i budućnost razvoja. Ponekad je nedostatak snijega glavni problem i najveći dio rizika u
koji se upuštaju oni koji se žele baviti zimskim turizmom u Bosni i Hercegovini. Ove zime, kako izgleda, snijega
im ne će nedostajati. Pa neka im bar nešto ide na ruku. Ako takvih godina bude više, možda u budućnosti ne će ni
ovisiti previše o klimatskim uvjetima. Nijedne godine dosad nije otvoreno toliko novih skijaških centara u Bosni i
Hercegovini, nijedne godine dosad nije više učinjeno na poboljšanju uvjeta u već postojećim skijaškim centrima, kao
i na osmišljavanju novih sadržaja u njima, nijedne godine dosad promidžba skijaških centara Bosne i Hercegovine,
u i izvan Bosne i Hercegovine, nije bila tako agresivna kao ove – vjerujem da nijedna dosad ne će biti ni uspješnija
od ove. Evo, to je ona svjetlija strana ove klimatske „nepogode“, to su razlozi koje će Vam na prvu podastrijeti
nepopravljivi optimisti, pa i kad je ova bjelina tako jaka da u se ni gledati ne da.
Bjelina je prekrila cijelu Bosnu i Hercegovinu i bar za neko vrijeme skrila sve ono što su ljudi u njoj nevaljalo
učinili, njihov nemar spram prirode i ljudi koji ovdje žive.
Ako nema nijednog drugog razloga zašto toliko volim zimu i snijeg, onda je i ovaj dovoljan da je toliko volim da
se ne ljutim ni onda kad je i tako žestoka, možda i bijesna na nas, kao što je ova.
Neka nam, za bar neko vrijeme, izgleda nevina i bijela – čini mi se lakše ćemo dočekati i preživjeti ljeto i ostali dio
godine. A trebat će nam mnogo energije i mudrosti za to.

o all appearances, it seems that year 2012 will be special. Even the things in politics started to move from
the deadlock: things that were almost unthinkable yesterday are happening today; what seemed to be im-
possible is today openly announced; and what was the taboo or forbidden is spoken openly today. When
things like this happen, then, regardless of real danger that’s threatening with repeated swing of the eco-
nomic crisis, we have to slightly open the door for optimism and with just a bit more smiles talk about the future of
our country, no matter what kind it is, and nations and citizens that live here.
Older people say, as far as they can remember, that the winter in 1956 was similar to this one, but there wasn’t this
much of snow as much as it fell in the first days of February and it was the same in entire Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Many people will say that this is a bad sign: roads under snow, blocked towns, difficult economizing. Yes, if we’ll
search reasons for pessimism, they exist. The pessimists will always find reasons to justify their pessimism. Because
of that, let’s look at the brighter side of this climatic “disaster”.
There’s no place in the world where people are so quick-witted, movable and innovative when the question is about
survival, as in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The history and hard living forced and taught them, and they learned fast, and
that was the only way to survive. Who sets off first is the first one on the finish. The skiing centres that existed twenty
years ago all vanished, devastated, ruined – none have anything but the name. Sometimes that’s something, sometimes
even a lot and sometimes that’s the most of what you could’ve inherited. Winter Olympic Games didn’t happen
everywhere and there aren’t many countries in the world that can be proud of that. But, Bosnia and Herzegovina can.
And people know that. Because of that, not only the ski centres on Olympic mountains have been renovated quickly
but new ones are opening, as well. There’s no country in the world that has immense potentials for winter sports,
and the same stands for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The faster and the better will take the bigger part of the winter
tourist cake and will take better starting position. The possibility and the future of development sometimes depend
on it. The lack of snow is sometimes the main problem and the biggest part of the risk which those who want to be
engaged in winter tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina take. As it seems they won’t lack snow this winter. Let there be
something in their favour. If there would be more years like this maybe they wouldn’t depend much on the climatic
conditions in the future. So many new ski centres were opened in Bosnia and Herzegovina as never before, never
before this much was done on improvement of conditions
in existing ski centres and on creating new offers in them,
the promotion of ski centres in Bosnia and Herzegovina
and outside of it wasn’t ever before done this aggressive as
it was this year – and I don’t believe that any year before
this one will be more successful. So, this is the brighter
side of this climatic “disaster”, these are the reasons that
real optimists will submit in front of you, even when the
whiteness is so strong that you can’t look at it.
The whiteness has covered entire Bosnia and
Herzegovina and at least for a while hid all the things people
done wrong in it, their negligence towards the nature and
people that live here. If there wasn’t any other reason why I
love winter and snow this much, then this is enough to love
it that I’m not mad even when it’s this severe and maybe
furious at us, like this winter.
Let it look innocent and white to us, at least for a little
while – it seems to me that we’ll meet and survive the
summer easier and the rest of the year. And we’ll need a lot
of energy and wisdom for that.

Kako ste se snašli kao ministrica? Kakvo ste stanje

Bit ću iskrena i reći da je ovo jako zahtjevan resor,
no usprkos svemu mislim da sam se dobro snašla na
ovoj poziciji, s obzirom da je tek prva godina iza nas, još
puno toga imamo za uraditi. Oblast okoliša i turizma,
iako je zahtjevna, interesantna je za mene kao ženu koja
je uvijek spremna za nove izazove, jer ovo je resor koji
nudi mnogo, čija je perspektiva velika i koji predstavlja
jednu od razvojnih šansi ove zemlje. Stoga mislim da
je bolje preformulirati Vaše pitanje u to što smo uradili

lamentarnu proceduru, kao što
smo radili i na prednacrtu Zakona
o turističkim zajednicama i promi-
canju turizma u Federaciji Bosne i
Hercegovine. Naime, u Zenici smo
nedavno održali stručnu raspravu
gdje su svi prisutni, od predstavnika
županijskih resornih ministarstava,
turističkih zajednica, predstavnika
Saveza općina i gradova, te Federalne
uprave za inspekcijske poslove, dali
svoje mišljenje, primjedbe i prijed-
loge na dostavljeni prednacrt Zakona
o turističkim zajednicama i promi-
canju turizma u Federaciji Bosne i
Hercegovine, te istaknuli prednosti i
nedostatke postojećeg Zakona, čime
želimo naći konstruktivno rješenje
da se što više pitanja definira i obuh-
vati Zakonom koji će omogućiti što
bolji i efikasniji razvoj, promociju i
unaprjeđenje turističkoga sektora,
kako na razini općine odnosno gra-
da, kantona/županije, tako i na ra-
zini Federacije BiH.
Kakve su mogućnosti turizma
u FBiH i kakva je njegova perspe-
ktiva? Kako Vi to vidite kao minis-
trica?
Turizam je svakako jedna od
razvojnih šansi našeg gospodarstva.
Do sada su u turističkom sektoru
napravljeni pomaci, od široke re-
forme resora turizma, i ugostiteljst-
va, do izmjene zakonodavstva i
jačanja institucionalnog okvira, te u
promociji turističke ponude, kako na
domaćem tako i na međunarodnom
tržištu.
No, turizam kao gospodarsku
granu, moramo zaista ozbiljno sh-
vatiti kao značajnu šansu i izazov u
stvaranju novih radnih mjesta, te kao
takvu je što više iskoristiti ulažući u
projekte kojima ćemo unaprijediti
turističke potencijale Bosne i Herce-
govine, učiniti ih samoodrživim, te
na kraju osigurati napredak lokalne
zajednice. Svakako smatram da je
upravo nedostatak svježeg kapitala
ono što nedostaje unaprjeđenju
cjelokupnog turističkoga sektora,
na čemu moramo još raditi kako bi
osigurali sredstva kojima ćemo kroz
dobro razrađene projekte omogućiti
ljudima da žive od svoga rada.

Strategiju razvoja turizma FBiH
2008. - 2018. izradilo je Ministarst-
vo još u prošlom sazivu, no ona nije
usvojena u Parlamentu FBiH. Što
će biti sa Strategijom i što Vi kao
ministrica namjeravate učiniti s
njom?
Strategija je osnovni dokument
u oblasti turizma koji na sustavan
način određuje ne samo razvojnu
viziju i strateške ciljeve, nego i mjere
koje bi se trebale sustavno pro-
voditi s ciljem ostvarivanja vizije i
učinkovitijeg korištenja i upravljanja
nesumnjivim turističkim potenci-
jalima na području Federacije BiH.
Vlada FBiH usvojila je 27. listopada
Informaciju o Strategiji ekonomskog
razvoja FBiH - Projekt „Razvoj tur-
izma u FBiH 2008. - 2018. godine”.
Strategija, kao ključan dokument
koji ima za cilj reafirmaciju i re-
pozicioniranje turističke desti-
nacije Federacije BiH, sastoji se od
devet poglavlja. Prva dva poglav-
lja obuhvaćaju teoretske točke u
određivanju turističke destinacije
Federacije BiH, kao i reviziju trendo-
va na svjetskom turističkom tržištu.
S ciljem izrade kvalitetne baze za
Strategiju razvoja turizma Feder-
acije BiH treće poglavlje posvećeno
je dostupnim turističkim razvojnim
faktorima (geografski i prometni
položaj, klima, prirodno i kulturno-
povijesno naslijeđe, stanovništvo i
ljudski potencijali), četvrto obuhvaća
karakteristike turističkog sustava
Federacije, dok se u petom poglav-
lju istražuje razvojni model desti-
nacije, koji pored odabira modela,
obuhvaća i ciljeve razvoja turizma,
strategiju destinacijskih proizvoda,
pozicioniranje, principe i projektne
uvjete. U šestom poglavlju istražuju
se karakteristike turističke ponude,
te vizija i ciljevi destinacije svih de-
set kantona/županija u Federaciji
BiH. Proces prihvaćanja, izvođenja
i kontrole prilagodbe Strategije raz-
voja turizma Federacije Bosne i
Hercegovine smješten je u finalnom
dijelu Strategije, čiji je osnovni dio
implementacijski plan i monitoring
njegove realizacije.
Nedavno ste Vladi FBiH
predložili nacrt novog Zakona o
turističkim zajednicama, koji je
Vlada prihvatila. Što je novo u tom
Zakonu?
Potreba za donošenjem novoga
Zakona o turističkim zajednicama
i promicanju turizma u Federaciji
BiH ukazala se prvenstveno radi
jačanja i promicanja turizma Fed-
eracije BiH i gospodarskih interesa
pravnih i fizičkih osoba, u djelatnos-
tima ugostiteljstva i turizma i s tim
djelatnostima neposredno poveza-
nih djelatnosti, te radi jačeg i svr-
sishodnijeg organiziranja turističkih
zajednica, kao i velikog broja pris-
tiglih inicijativa za izradu novog
Zakona o turističkim zajednicama
i promicanju turizma u Federaciji
BiH. Jedno od osnovnih načela
na kojima se temelji ovaj Zakon je
stvaranje mogućnosti da svaka ra-
zina vlasti bude odgovorna za njeg-
ovu provedbu i sveukupno stanje u
oblasti turističke djelatnosti. Njime
se uređuje ustrojstvo i način rada
turističkih zajednica, osnovna načela
njihovog financiranja i gospodaren-
ja, a propisano je da turistička za-
jednica stječe svojstvo pravne osobe
danom upisa u sudski registar. Pored
Turističke zajednice FBiH, koju os-
niva Vlada Federacije BiH, postoje
turističke zajednice županija/kanto-
na čiji su osnivači županijske vlade,
zatim turističke zajednice područja,
koje se mogu osnovati na području
više općina ili županija/kantona, i
turističke zajednice općina odnosno
gradova koje se mogu osnovati uz
prethodnu suglasnost Federalnog
ministarstva okoliša i turizma, uz
uvjet da su ekonomski samoodržive.
Što se tiče gospodarenja turističkim
zajednicama propisana je obveza
donošenja programa rada i finan-
cijskoga plana, te podaci koji su pri-
hodi turističkih zajednica, kao i da
će se boravišna pristojba i članarina
u TZ regulirati posebnim propisom
kojeg donosi Vlada FBiH na prijed-
log Federalnog ministarstva okoliša
i turizma. Mandat članova tijela
turističkih zajednica trajat će četiri
godine, a članovi mogu biti birani,

ficient development, promotion and
improvement of the tourism sector,
as on the level of the municipality or
town and cantons, as well on the level
of the Federation of BiH.
What are possibilities of the
tourism in BiH and its perspective
– how do you see that as the min-
ister?
Tourism is definitely one of the
developmental opportunities of our
economy. A lot of progress in the
tourism sector was done until now,
from wide reform of the tourism and
catering sector to change of the legis-
lature and strengthening the institu-
tional frame, and in the promotion of
the tourist offer as on the local mar-
ket, the same on the international.
But, we have to perceive the eco-
nomical branch of tourism as impor-
tant opportunity and challenge in
creating new workplaces and as that
use it as much as possible by invest-
ing into projects which would im-
prove the tourist potentials of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, make them self-
sustainable and in the end enable the
progress of the local community. I
consider that exactly the fresh capi-
tal is what the improvement of the
total tourism sector is short of, and
we need to work on that to ensure the
means to enable people to live from
their work through well defined proj-
ects.
The Strategy of the tourism de-
velopment in the FBiH 2008-2018
was created by the Ministry in the
last assembly, but it wasn’t ad-
opted in the Federal parliament…
What is going to happen with the
Strategy and what do you plan to
do with it as the minister?
The Strategy is the basic docu-
ment in the field of the tourism that
systematically determines not only
the developmental vision and strate-
gic goals, but also the measures that
should be systematically conducted
with the purpose of realization of the
vision and more efficacious exploita-
tion and management of undoubted
tourist potentials on the territory of
the Federation of BiH. The Govern-
Interview with a reason
ment of the FBiH adopted on 27th of
October the Information on the Strat-
egy of the economic development of
FBiH – Project “Development of the
tourism in FBiH 2008-2018”.
The Strategy, as the crucial docu-
ment that has the goal of re-establish-
ing and repositioning of the tourist
destination of the Federation of BiH,
consists of nine chapters. The first
two chapters include the theoretic
points in determining the tourist
destination of the Federation of BiH
as well as the review of the trends on
the world tourist market. With the
aim of creating the quality base for
the Strategy of the tourism develop-
ment in the FBiH, the third chapter
is dedicated to available tourist de-
velopmental elements (geographic
and traffic position, climate, natural
and cultural-historical heritage, pop-
ulation and human potentials), the
fourth comprises the characteristics
of the tourist system of the Federa-
tion, while the fifth chapter research-
es the developmental model of the
destination, which besides the model
choosing, includes the goals of the
tourism development, the strategy of
the destination products, position-
ing, principles and project condi-
tions. The sixth chapter researches
the characteristics of the tourist offer,
vision and goals of the destination of
all the ten cantons in the Federation
of BiH. The process of acceptation,
realization and control of the adjust-
ment of the Strategy of the tourism
development in the Federation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina is placed in
the final part of the Strategy, whose
basic part is the implementation plan
and monitoring of its realization.
Recently you’ve proposed the
draft bill of the new Law on the
tourist boards to the Government
of FBiH, and it accepted it – What’s
new in that Law?
The need for bringing new Law
on the tourist boards and promo-
tion of the tourism in the Federation
of BiH appeared first of all because
of strengthening and promotion of
the tourism of the Federation of BiH
and economic interests of legal enti-

ties and natural persons in catering
activities and tourism and activities
directly related to these, and for the
purpose of stronger and functional
organizing of the tourist boards and
because of great number of initiatives
for creation of new Law on the tourist
boards and promotion of the tourism
in the Federation of BiH. One of the
basic principles that this law is based
on is creating the possibilities for each
level of the government to be respon-
sible for its implementation and total
condition in the field of tourist activ-
ity. It determines the structure and
the way of work of the tourist boards,
basic principle of their financing and
managing and it is regulated that the
tourist board becomes legal entity
on the day of the registration into
court records. Besides the Tourist
board of the FBiH which is founded
by the Federal government there are
also the tourist boards of the cantons
whose founders are the canton gov-
ernments, then tourist boards of the
territories that can be founded on
the territory of several municipali-
ties or cantons and tourist boards of
the municipalities or towns, which
can be founded with previous com-
pliance of the Federal ministry of
environment and tourism, with the
condition that they are economically
sustainable. Considering the man-
agement of the tourist boards the ob-
ligation of making the work program
and financial plan is assigned and the
incomes of the tourist boards, and
the sojourn tax and the membership
fee in tourist boards will be regulated
by a special regulation brought by the
Government of the FBiH on the pro-
posal of the Federal ministry of envi-
ronment and tourism. The mandate
of the members of the tourist board’s
bodies will last for four years, and the
members can be elected or appointed
again, but not more than two man-
dates and the members of the tourist
board’s bodies can’t be members of
the bodies of any other tourist board
at any level. So the new Law would
define the supervision of the work of
the tourist boards, of the managing
in the tourist boards, what would im-
prove the cooperation between the
municipality department’s or town’s
management bodies authorised for

ne više od dva uzastopna mandata,
a članovi tijela turističke zajednice
ne mogu biti članovi tijela bilo koje
druge turističke zajednice bilo koje
razine. Tako bi se novim Zako-
nom definirao nadzor nad radom
turističkih zajednica i gospodarenje
u turističkim zajednicama, čime bi se
poboljšala suradnja između resornih
općinskih, odnosno gradskih, or-
gana uprave mjerodavnih za oblast
turizma, kantonalnih/županijskih
ministarstva i turističkih zajednica
županija/kantona, a sve u svrhu
promocije i unaprjeđenja turizma u
FBiH.
Što očekujete nakon usvajanja
Zakona?
Nakon usvajanja ovoga Zako-
na očekujemo povećanje nadzora
nad radom turističkih zajednica,
transparentnije trošenja novca, te
učinkovitije turističke zajednice
koje će svoj temeljni posao - promo-
ciju turizma i turističke djelatnosti u
FBiH, obavljati što efikasnije.
Ovim Zakonom daje se
mogućnost utemeljenja i općinskih
odnosno gradskih turističkih za-
jednica?
Ovim Zakonom propisano je
da se turistička zajednica općine,
odnosno grada, može osnovati uz
prethodnu suglasnost Federalnog
ministarstva okoliša i turizma, te
da će prilikom davanja suglasnosti
Ministarstvo voditi računa o zem-
ljopisnim cjelinama te turističkim,
funkcionalnim i prirodnim karak-
teristikama područja na kojem se želi
osnovati turistička zajednica općine,
odnosno grada, te o samoodrživosti
i o mogućnostima financiranja za
ostvarenje zadaća turističke zajed-
nice i za funkcioniranje turističkoga
ureda.
Turističke zajednice se žale
kako ste ih zaobišli na natječaju
za grant sredstva za sufinanciran-
je projekata iz oblasti turizma i
ugostiteljstva. Je li to istina, i ako
jest kako Vi to, kao resorna minis-
trica, objašnjavate?
Turističke zajednice imaju svoje
programe, kao i svoje izvore finan-

ciranja, te s tim i jasnu zadaću a to
je promocija turističkih potencijala
Federacije BiH, i sva zadaća im je
da novac od svojih prihoda ulažu u
promociju i razvoj turizma u FBiH.
Na prošlogodišnjem Javnom
pozivu za dodjelu sredstava Trans-
fera za razvoj turizma Ministarstvo
je dalo prednost svim projektima
koji su prepoznati kao kvalitetni
za unaprjeđenje i promociju tur-
izma, i kojima je kroz ove pro-
jekte omogućeno zadržavanje
postojećih i prijem novih turističko-
ugostiteljskih radnika.
Inače, Ministarstvo putem Ja-
vnog transfera za razvoj turizma u
FBiH uspijeva zadovoljiti samo pet
do deset posto zahtjeva, što dovolj-
no govori kolika su potraživanja i
koliko se još mora raditi na ulaganju
u ovaj sektor, a zadaća turističkih
zajednica je da u svemu tome daju
svoj doprinos!
Što bi po Vašem mišljenju tre-
balo učiniti kako bi turističke
zajednice svoj posao obavljale
učinkovitije, efikasnije?
Federalno ministarstvo okoliša i
turizma smatra da bi se uvođenjem
više reda u turističkom sektoru na
području Federacije BiH, boljom
i kvalitetnijom suradnjom, a sve
s ciljem promocije raspoloživih
resursa, poboljšanjem turističke po-
nude, smanjenjem rada na crno, te
povećanjem razine naplate prihoda
od članarina i boravišne pristojbe,
ova oblast u velikoj mjeri uredila.
Može li to učiniti postojeća
struktura u turističkim zajednica-
ma? Je li ona dovoljno kvalitetna
za obaviti tako zahtjevan posao?
Mislim da sigurno ima jako puno
kvalitetnih ljudi koji mogu puno
učiniti za napredak i promociju tur-
izma u Federaciji BiH, ali samo uz
dobru zakonsku regulativu koju im
u ovom trenutku želimo osigurati, te
poboljšati uvjete rada.
Možete li nam opisati stanje
turističkoga sektora u FBiH i BiH u
cjelini, recimo kako ga vidite za de-
set godina?
Polazeći od raspoloživih resur-
sa, trendova na svjetskom tržištu,
tradicije i stanja turizma u destinaci-
ji F BiH, te izabranog modela raz-
voja može se pristupiti formuliranju
strateških smjernica. Kod toga uvi-
jek na umu treba imati da strateške
smjernice moraju biti usuglašene sa
svim ključnim činiocima razvojne
politike i da ih kontinuirano treba
pratiti i, po potrebi, korigirati.
Potrebno je naglasiti da ne post-
oji subordinacija ciljeva, te da su svi
navedeni ciljevi jednako važni i da
se međusobno uvjetuju. Značajno
odstupanje od bilo kojeg cilja nedvo-
jbeno bi bitno poremetilo ravnotežu
odnosa.
Osnovne grupe dugoročnih cilje-
va turizma F BiH su ekonomski, so-
cio-kulturni i zaštita okoliša:
Ekonomski – turizam kao
pokretač razvoja privrede u
cjelini, rast investiranja, razvoj
poduzetništva, zanatstva, veće
zapošljavanje, povećanje turističke
potrošnje, proizvodnja autohtonih
proizvoda, smanjenje uvozne kom-
ponente, cjelogodišnje poslovanje
(sezonalnost je ponegdje nemoguće
izbjeći), veća kvaliteta smještajnih
objekata, bolja struktura smještajnih
kapaciteta, razvoj novih turističkih
proizvoda, osvajanje novih tržišta,
rad na kvaliteti...
Socio-kulturni – rast kvalitete
života lokalnog stanovništva, bla-
gostanje, sigurnost za lokalno
stanovništvo i turiste, očuvanje kul-
turno-povijesne baštine, očuvanje
lokalnog identiteta u uvjetima
globalizacije, prožimanje kultura,
povezivanje ljudi...
Zaštita okoliša – zaštita prirodnih
resursa, eko-standardi, racionalno
korištenje energije, unaprjeđenje in-
frastrukture, monitoring zagađenja,
sprječavanje vizualnog zagađenja
prostora, prostorno planiranje.
Konačni doseg ostvarenja na-
vedenih ciljeva treba biti razvoj
temeljen na načelima održivosti,
odnosno, održivi razvoj kao kon-
cepcija koja osigurava dugoročno
blagostanje lokalnom stanovništvu
i zajednici s jedne strane, te zado-
voljstvo turista s druge strane.
Intervju s povodom
the field of tourism, cantonal min-
istries and the tourist boards of the
cantons, and all this for the purpose
of the promotion and improvement
of tourism in FBiH.
What do you expect by adop-
tion of this Law?
By adopting this Law we expect to
increase the supervision of the work
of the tourist boards and insight into
more transparent money spending,
and make the tourist boards more
effective and that they perform their
basic work which is the promotion of
tourism and the tourist work in FBiH
as efficacious as possible.
This Law makes it possible for
founding the municipality’s or
town’s tourist boards?
This Law regulates that the tour-
ist board of a municipality or a town
can be founded with previous com-
pliance of the Federal ministry of en-
vironment and tourism, and that the
Ministry, on the occasion of giving
consent, will take into account the
geographical units and tourist, func-
tional and natural characteristics of
the territory where the tourist board
of the municipality or the town is
wished to be founded, and it will take
into account the self-sustainability
and possibility of financing of the re-
alization of the work of tourist board
and functioning of the tourist office.
The tourist boards complain
that you went around them at the
tender for grant funds for cofi-
nance of the projects from the field
of tourism and catering industry. Is
this true and if it is how do you as a
department minister explain?
The tourist boards have their
programs, as well as their financing
sources, and by that a clear task and
that is the promotion of the tour-
ist potentials of the Federation of
BiH and all the task is to invest the
money from their income into pro-
motion and development of tourism
in FBiH.
On the last public tender for
awarding the funds of the Transfer
Interview with a reason
for the development of the tour-
ism the Ministry gave priority to
all the projects we found as quality
for improvement and promotion of
tourism, and through these projects
they are enabled to keep the existing
and to employ new tourist-catering
workers.
Anyway, the Ministry succeeds to
satisfy only 5-10% of the applications
through the Public transfer for de-
velopment of tourism in FBiH, what
says enough about the size of the de-
mands, and how much more needs to
be done on investing into this sector,
and the task of the tourist boards is to
give their contribution in all this!
In your opinion, what should be
done in order for the tourist boards
to do their job more efficacious?
Federal ministry of environment
and tourism considers that by intro-
ducing more order in the tourism
sector on the territory of the Federa-
tion of BiH, better and more quality
cooperation, and all with the goal of
the promotion of the available re-
sources, by improving of the tour-
ist offer, reducing the illegal work,
increasing the level of collecting the
membership fees and sojourn taxes
this field would be highly arranged.
Can this be done by the pres-
ent setup in the tourist boards? Is
it quality enough to do such a de-
manding work?
I think that there are a lot of qual-
ity people for sure that can do a lot
for advancement and promotion of
tourism in the Federation of BiH, but
only with good legislature that we
trying to ensure for them now, and to
improve the working conditions.
Can you describe the conditions
of the tourism department in FBiH
and BiH in total; let’s say as you see
it in 10 years?
Starting from the existing resourc-
es, the trends on the world market,
the tradition and the state of tourism
in the destination of FBiH, and cho-
sen model of the development we can
approach to formulating the strategic
Tourism BiH • March 2012
guidelines. At this, we should always
keep in mind that strategic guide-
lines have to be harmonized with all
the key factors of the developmental
policies and that they should be con-
tinuously followed and corrected if
needed.
We need to point out that there’s
no subordination of goals, and that
all the mentioned goals are equally
important and mutually conditioned.
Major deviation from any of the goals
would undoubtedly disturb the bal-
ance of the relations.
Basic groups of long-term goals
of the tourism of FBiH are economi-
cal, socio-cultural and environment
protection.
Economical – tourism as the ini-
tiator of the development of economy
in general; growth of investments;
development of the entrepreneur-
ship, handicrafts; higher employ-
ment; increase of the tourist con-
sumption; production of indigenous
products; reduce of the import com-
ponent; year-round business activity
(seasonality is sometimes impossible
to go around); higher quality of ac-
commodation objects, better struc-
ture of accommodation capacity; de-
velopment of new tourist products,
conquering new markets, work on
the quality…
Socio-cultural – the increase of
the quality of life of the local popu-
lation, prosperity; safety for the local
population and the tourists; preser-
vation of cultural-historical heritage;
preservation of local identity in the
globalization conditions; interpen-
etration of cultures; connecting peo-
ple…
Environment protection – pro-
tection of natural resources, eco
standards, rational exploitation of
energy; improvement of the infra-
structure; pollution monitoring; pre-
vention of visual pollution of space,
spatial planning…
The final reach of the mentioned
goals should be development based
upon the principles of sustainability,
in other words, sustainable devel-
opment as the concept that ensures
long-term prosperity for the local
population and community on the
one hand, and satisfaction of the
tourists on the other.

zimskih užitaka, na razne načine ka

Došli su autobusima, vlastitim auto-

the time of writing this

ago, when everything was ready for
opening of the XIV winter Olym-

waited for, and the same was this

weren’t many places in B&H with
snow in the middle of December
when it’s usual for the winter sea-

it appeared to be the right move. On

were thousands of people gathered.
It was almost crowded. The guests,
in want of winter pleasures, rushed
to Igman and Bjelašnica, which are
some 30 km away from the town.
They came by buses, their own cars,
taxis… you couldn’t find a free taxi

– then this season should be good,
and there isn’t much needed for it
to be better than the last few, which
were marked as catastrophic at all
the winter centres in B&H.
But, let’s start from the beginning.
So, at the time of writing this text,

the information of postponement
of different events kept coming one
after another. The news came from
the Olympic centre Sarajevo that
“Winter World University Games
in B&H” that was supposed to hap-
pen on 10th of February within the
28th anniversary of Winter Olym-
pics, is postponed for the time be-
ing because of unfavourable weather
conditions, in other words until the
weather situation becomes suit-
able for organizing this event. The
competitions in giant slalom and 5

scheduled within the Winter World

jevo i Istočno Sarajevo. A šta je to
što očekuje sve one koji će i prije
doći na ove planine?
Sadržaji
i za male i za velike
Dobro je poznato da se, zavisno
iz kojeg ugla gledamo, na nekih 25-
30 kilometara od Sarajeva nalazi
izuzetan prirodni rezervat plani-
na Bjelašnice i Igmana. Zajedno
sa Trebevićem, ove dvije planine
okružuju Sarajevsko polje. Najviši
vrh Igmana je visok 1505 metara
i nad poljem se uzdiže vrlo naglo i
strmo, te zbog toga na njemu ug-
lavnom nema naselja, što je jedini
slučaj kod brda koja oivičavaju polje.
Sav je obrastao šumom, pri dnu bjel-
ogoricom, još malenom. Što se više
penje uz planinu, sve više preovla-
dava crnogorica, tako da se na vrhu i
dublje u planini među omorikama i
jelama rijetko nađe po koji stari javor
ili bukva. Šuma je velika i stara, a ri-
jedak je go krš. O mogućnostima za
alpske i nordijske sportove suvišno je
pričati, no podsjetimo da je skijaški
kompleks Bjelašnica-Igman jedin-
stven prostor. Rijetka je kombinac-
ija oštrih staza za alpske skijaške
discipline i širokih prostranstava
namijenjenih onima koji uživaju u
trčanju na skijama. Blage snježne
padine Igmana pravo su mjesto za
najmlađe, dok Malo Polje pruža ide-

skiing complex Bjelašnica-Igman is
a unique space. Rare are the combi-
nations of sharp ski runs for Alpine
skiing disciplines and wide open
spaces intended for those who enjoy
cross country skiing. The mild snow
slopes of Igman are the right place
for the youngest, while Malo Polje
offers great conditions for recreation
sleigh-riders and beginner skiers.
During the Olympic Games in Sara-
jevo there were ski jumping compe-
titions on Malo Polje, but today the
ski-jumps are just damaged monu-
ment that reminds of that magnifi-
cent time, a museum exhibit in the
open where picnickers gather in the
summer for barbecues, associating
and recreation. The restaurant of
the former hotel “Ski” is functioning

If required (to order) this two-seater

is started in the summer too, what
represents special pleasure for the
excursionists, because the view from
the heights is hard to describe with
words, the breathtaking beauty, and
ride with the ski lift is something
to remember and repeat. The baby
lift is in function during the winter
on Malo Polje, so this is definitely a
destination for the whole family, es-
pecially for those with little children.
Veliko polje is, however, suitable for
Nordic disciplines. There are 30 km
of runs for Nordic skiing and biath-
lon, but the line of the accompany-
ing buildings is unfortunately not
renovated, with several exceptions.
On the other hand, Veliko Polje is a
real paradise for the excursionists in
the summer period, with specially
prepared grounds for that, tables
and settees. Igman is a mountain
with extremely high concentration
of ozone and is especially suitable
for the trainings of sport teams. We
can add the information to all this
that the lowest temperature in the
region was measured on Igman, -
43° C. The climbers say that when
the weather is nice, they can see
parts of Montenegro and Adriatic
Sea from Igman. We didn’t check
that.
Three seasons
in one day
Bjelašnica has 8345 m of ski
runs for all the Alpine disciplines.
The ski runs are descending from
the peak of Bjelašnica at 2067 me-
tres to the space of Babin Dol at
1266 metres. Bjelašnica is char-
acterized by exceptional change-
ability of climate, so it is possible
to experience three seasons of the
year in one day. Winters are very
long and severe, so the spring is
felt at the middle of May, and short
summers can have cold air waves.
While the spacious parts rich in
woods surround the foot of the
mountain, at the height over 1500
metres Bjelašnica turns into myri-
ad of bare peaks inhabited by wolfs,
wild boars and bears. But, let’s

1.350, odnosno 1.200 osoba na sat.
A osim staza za skijaše, na Bjelašnici
je uređena i staza sa skakaonicama
za board, tako da ljubitelji ove zim-
ske discipline neće ostati uskraćeni
na ovom području. Boardarske staze

jalne goste?
Zvanično, na Igmanu i Bjelašnici,
registrirani su hoteli „Maršal“ i
„Han“, te hostel „Feri“, koji raspolažu
s ukupno 406 ležaja. Malo, nedo-

ovo područje izgleda pusto, no to je
krivi dojam. Mnoštvo je građevina

zajednici Kantona Sarajevo. Pre-

utvrditi. Ali, za sada je bitno da oni
dođu. Zimi ili ljeti, imaju šta raditi
ovdje. U vrijeme kada je BiH u svi-

obiluje destinacijama za adrenalin-

T
o start the story about ski-
ers and skiing in Bosnia
and Herzegovina doesn’t
mean to list natural beau-
ties and ski-centres which this
country at the heart of the Balkans
has more and more every year. No.
That means to go back to the past,
in the days when men and women
provoked amazement, astonishment
and awe by recklessly going down
the snowy slopes on the boards. And
those first days of skiing are related
to only one mountain and one name
– Jahorina!
• Jahorina, weekend resort
Tourism BiH • March 2012
Of course, Jahorina is side by side
with other winter centres in region,
and first association to the mention
of this mountain beauty is XIV Ol-
ympic Games held on this moun-
tain among others. But Jahorina
has remembered and wrote skiing
and tourism story for a lot longer
period. Meeting of the best skiers,
especially female skiers on Jahorina
was just the crown of what Jagorina
had cherished and created for more
than a century. And the mascot of
the Games, unforgettable and even
today famous Vučko has the origins
on this mountain, sprang from the
artist’s imagination, but originated
from Jahorina, as a symbol of what
the mountain is – primeval nature
personified in Jahorina’s wolf. To-
gether with its tameness, attractive-
ness and skiing past they created
Vučko, the symbol that all the gener-
ations still love. Because of the debt
to this mountain we have to go few
generations back to the boundary of
time and worlds, in the period when
the empires exchanged over Bosnia
and Herzegovina and its natural
beauties.
It is year 1878. With the decision
of the big powers Bosnia and Herze-
govina changed rulers and there
came the first soldiers of black-yel-
low Monarchy, soldiers and clerks
from distant Budapest, Vienna,
Prague, Bratislava…and brought
numerous customs unfamiliar to
local population. Soldiers of Alpine
patrols of the Habsburg Monarchy
came to Sarajevo and brought boards
and sticks that provoked wonder.

preko nekoliko nekropola stećaka
do nebrojenih stočarskih katuna.
Stogodišnje starine iz jahorinskih
sela i danas će vam ispričati kako su
ovu planinu pohodili stočari i putni-
ci iz cijele Hercegovine u potrazi za
najboljom ispašom za svoja sta-
da, te s ponosom govoriti kako
su na ovoj planini boravili prvi
„turisti“ još u davnom XV vijeku,
kada iz Dubrovnika dođoše u pos-
jetu bosanskoj kraljevskoj kući po-
slanici i velmože, te u lov otiđoše
u Sutjesku i na Jahorinu. Odvešće

da“, čuda kojemu nadaleko nema

gog sistema korita kojima se mli-
jeko ovaca sa ispaše dovodilo do
mjesta za sabiranje i preradu.

i očaranosti ljudi njome
najbolje govore topon-
imi koji su se kroz
vjekove održali
i danas pričaju.
Samo imena dvaju

da nam približe ljubav
između planine i ljudi -
Začarani dvori i Rajska dolina.
Planini kojoj čovjek nadjene
ovakva imena nikakav daljnji
opis nije potreban...
Vratimo se skijanju, toj
razonodi i sportu koji je na
bh planinama svoje korijene
pustio prije više od jednoga
vijeka. Ali ostanimo i dalje u
kolijevci koja je skijanje odn-
jihala – na Jahorini. Dvade-
sete godine prošloga vijeka
dovedoše na Jahorinu prve organi-
zovane grupe sarajevskih mladića, ali
stidljivo i djevojaka na skijama, koji
su polako savladavali prve korake na
snijegu. A Jahorina je sa svojim pad-
inama bila odlično mjesto za učenje.
Vrlo brzo su to uvidjeli i slučajni
posjetioci iz Slovenije, koji su de-
cenijama ranije upoznali skijanje
na alpskim padinama, te shvatili da
Jahorina ima odlične mogućnosti i
šanse za skijaški razvoj. Počeše prva
bojažljiva okupljanja u planinarske,
a potom i sportske, klubove, krenuše
uređivanja staza i planinarskih do-
mova, a ubrzo i smjela izgradnja
skakaonice za skijaške skokove u
blizini Pala. Sve to nije bilo dovoljno
zanesenim sportistima i zaljubljen-
icima u skijanje, te su ubrzo počela
i skijaška takmičenja na planina-
ma oko Sarajeva, a Jahorina je i tu
prednjačila. Već polovinom tride-
setih godina ovdje su se održavala
regionalna, a potom i državna prven-
stva, a dolaskom velikog skijaškog
imena Norvežanina Bjerna Jara koji
je počeo trenirati sarajevske skijaše,
počelo se pronositi ime Jahorine sve
dalje i dalje.
Slučajno
do Svjetskog kupa
Godine nakon Drugog svjetskog
rata donijele su novi polet i novi
elan u izgradnji i razvoju Jahorine
kao zimskog turističkog centra.
Sve bolja putna infrastruktura pov-
ezala je ovu planinu sa Sarajevom, a
preko Sarajeva i sa cijelim svijetom.
Istovremeno, pedesete godine su
dovele prvu žičaru na Jahorinu.
Prva žičara, jednosjed, otvorena je
novembra 1952. godine, a djelić ove
žičare i danas stoji na Jahorini, kao
turistički eksponat i podsjećanje
na te davne dane i ushit koji je ova
žičara izazvala. Nakon toga dolaze
druga, pa treća žičara, slijede ih bro-
jni ski liftovi koji poput čudnih niti
presijecaju planinu, ukrštaju se sa sve
brojnijim i sve uređenijim stazama.

the soldiers-skiers on the slopes of
Trebević, Igman, Romanija and es-
pecially Jahorina provoked even big-
ger shocking. Skiing and adventures
on the snow remained occupation
of the soldiers and rare adventur-
ers until the end of the World War I,
but breakdown and departure of the
Austro-Hungarian army left opened
military storehouses full of skiing
equipment, among other things. The
first enthusiasts, the young people
of Sarajevo anxious for adventures
and challenges got a hold of skis and
there the first pages of ski roots in
Sarajevo and surrounding started.
Milk waterworks
of heavenly mountain
And Jahorina stands at the begin-
ning of this story, the mountain that
protectively stands above the Sara-
jevo hollow and at the same time al-
ways calls chance travellers to itself
with its gentleness and attractive-
ness. A great number of traditions
have been remembered over the cen-
turies about Jahorina as a mountain

that has lived with the people and
for the people, unlike many of the
mountains and tops. And there are
plenty of remains witnessing of that
– from Roman travel stations, over
several stećaks necropolises to nu-
merous cattle-breeders’ settlements
Century old antiquities from Jaho-
rina villages will tell you the story
of how cattle-breeders and travellers
from entire Herzegovina came to
this mountain searching for the best
pasture for heir herds, and they will
say that this mountain had the first
“tourists” even in ancient XV cen-
tury, when deputies and aristocrats
from Dubrovnik came to visit Bos-
nian royal house and went hunting
to Sutjeska and Jahorina. They will
take you to former settlements to see
the remains of the “milk waterworks”
– a wonder which has no equal by
far – over three kilometres long sys-
tem of trough, with which the milk
from the sheep on the pasture was
brought to the place for collecting
and processing.
Toponyms that have remained

chantment with it. Just these two
names of the places are enough to
bring love between the mountain and
the people closer to us – Charmed
courts and Heavenly valley. There’s
no need for further description of
the mountain for which people gave
names like these…
Let’s go back to the skiing, that
recreation and sport, which has
taken its roots over a centura ago.
But we’ll stay in the cradle of skiing
– on Jahorina. The twenties of the
last century brought to Jahorina the
first organized groups of Sarajevo
young men and shyly girls on skis,
who were slowly mastering the first
steps on the snow. And Jahorina
with its slopes was a great place for
learning. Very soon that was no-
ticed by the accidental visitors from
Slovenia, who had met with the ski-
ing on Alpine slopes decades before
that, and realized that Jahorina had
great possibilities and opportuni-
ties for development of skiing. The
first timid gatherings in climbing,
later sport, clubs started, arrang-
ing the ski runs and climbers’ lodg-
ings, and soon after that building of

godine, naizgled slučajno. Skijanje u
tadašnjoj Jugoslaviji još uvijek je ek-
skluzivno slovenački sport, i niko i
ne razmišlja da bi se to moglo prom-
ijeniti. Već nekoliko godina Pohorje
je bilo domaćin utrka Svjetskoga
kupa za žene u veleslalomu, ali te
godine „Zlatna lisica“ je bila upitna.
Snijega nije bilo. I tada sportskim
radnicima iz Sarajeva pada na um
revolucionarna ideja – zašto Jaho-

veliki broj FIS zvaničnika, ali ipak
zbog nedostatka vremena pristaju
na rizik. I tog januara1975. prvi put
u istoriji elita svjetskog alpskog ski-
janja dolazi na Jahorinu. Jahorinski
slalom osvaja neprikosnovena Ana-
Mari Mozer Prel, najbolja skijašica
u istoriji, kojoj jahorinski naslov
upotpunjuje zbirku od nedostižne
62 pobjede u Svjetskom kupu. I koja
puna oduševljenja govori o Jahorini
kao otkriću karavane svjetskog ski-
janja. I o publici koja je zdušno bo-
drila sve skijašice i priredila nezabo-
ravnu atmosferu na Jahorini. Upravo
ova neočekivana trka utkala je put
za sve one jahorinske bajke koje će
uslijediti, a među njima i za olimpi-
jski san koji će Jahorina doživjeti
nepunu deceniju kasnije. Sve ostalo
je istorija...
Vraćanje staroj slavi
Jahorina danas živi novu i drugu
mladost. Protekla decenija dovela
je na ovu planinu ulaganja i razvoj
koji možda nisu uvijek bili najbolje
koordinisani. Ponekada su se neke
stvari radile stihijski i možda nije
uvijek infrastruktura pratila porast
broja smještajnih jedinica i ostalih
objekata. Ali ipak, danas Jahorina
može da se podiči hotelima i vilama,
restoranima i klubovima kojih se ne
bi postidjeli ni mnogo stariji i bogat-
iji alpski skijaški centri. Olimpijske
staze dobile su svoje nasljednice,
pa je tako danas Jahorinski masiv
ispresijecan sa preko dvadeset kil-
ometara skijaških staza – koje
će zadovoljiti sve ukuse, od onih
početničkih, preko rekreativnih, do
onih najzahtjevnijih koje mame i
najveće skijaške znalce. Iz godine u
godinu Jahorina je domaćin brojn-
im skijaškim takmičenjima. Povra-
tak nekadašnjoj slavi vidljiv je i sve
većim brojem zvaničnih takmičenja,
a u postolimpijskoj istoriji Jahorine
najznačajnija će biti 2017. godina
kada na planine oko Sarajeva i
Istočnog Sarajeva ponovo dolazi
olimpijski duh. Naime, te godine
u ova dva grada održaće se Zimski
olimpijski festival mladih Evrope, ili
evropska verzija olimpijskih igara
za mlade. Do tada Jahorinu očekuju
brojna ulaganja kako bi sve malo-
brojnijim skepticima pokazala svoje
čari.
Naravno, u razvoj Jahorine ulaže
se iz godine u godinu. Prije nešto
više od pet godina donesen je raz-
vojni master plan za Jahorinu, koji
predviđa razvoj u tri faze u nared-
nih deset godina. Nakon polovine
planiranog perioda vidljivo je da
nije ispunjeno sve zacrtano i da se
još uvijek provode prve dvije faze
razvoja. Najvidljivije su promjene u

Snijeg po
gradonačelnikovoj
narudžbi
Zima 2010/2011 napokon je don-
ijela pravi zimski ugođaj na ovu ol-
impijsku ljepoticu – nakon nekoliko
zima sa malo ili nimalo snijega, Jaho-
rina danas podsjeća na onu zimsku
kraljicu iz naših sjećanja – ogrnutu
baršunastim bijelim pokrivačem,
koja doziva sve one koji žele uživati
u njenim čarima. Snijega napokon
ima kao u pričama, i podsjeća na
onu davnu anegdotu iz 1978. godine
kada je tadašnji predsjednik MOK-a
lord Kilanin upitao gradonačelnika
Sarajeva Antu Sučića, kao branitelja
kandidature Sarajeva za organizaciju
Olimpijskih igara, može li garanto-
vati dovoljno snijega. Vispreni sara-
jevski gradonačelnik tada je odgov-
orio: „Mi znamo da u posljednjih sto
godina nikada u vrijeme predviđeno
za održavanje igara nije nedostajalo
snijega. Čak ga je bilo u izobilju. Što
se tiče vašeg pitanja, mogu samo da
kažem: garantujemo vam optimalne
uslove i mogućnosti za takmičenje,
ali ipak, u mojoj nadležnosti, kao
gradonačelnika, nije i padanje sn-
ijega.“ I pobrao je aplauz prisut-
nih delegata. A u Sarajevo se vratio
noseći organizaciju XIV ZOI '84.
Upravo Jahorina, snježna ljepoti-
ca i istinska skijaška meka i ove zime
zove sve ljubitelje, ne samo skijanja i
sportova na snijegu, već sve one koji
žele osjetiti taj čar skijaškog centra,
upoznati jednu ljepšu sliku Bosne i
Hercegovine, i vidjeti kako se pravi
i prodaje jedna uspješna turistička
priča. Mami ona ne samo skijaše i
sportiste, već i obične šetače, one
koji će uz gastronomske specijal-
itete ili običnu šolju toplog čaja,
koja na ovoj planini ima poseban
okus, gledati neke buduće olimpi-
jce. A možda će se i sami okušati
na bijelim stazama. Natjeraće vas
da možda i neplanirano sjednete u
novi šestosjed, pa se njime uspnete
na jedan od vrhova. stanete na Ogor-
jelicu ili Začarane dvore, i odatle
ushićeno pogledate sa Jahorine u
nezamislivu daljinu, dok se pod
vama pružaju planinski vijenci, vi-
soravni i šume sve dokle pogledom
možete obuhvatiti, pa i mnogo dalje.
I možda tek tada shvatite koliko
samo istine ima u onoj staroj pjesmi
koja će vam i sama poteći sa usana:
„Aj kolika je
Jahorina planina...
Siv je soko
preletjeti ne može...“

Samo imena dvaju mjesta su dovoljna da nam približe lju-

bav između planine i ljudi - Začarani dvori i Rajska dolina.
Planini kojoj čovjek nadjene ovakva imena nikakav daljnji
opis nije potreban...
U postolimpijskoj istoriji Jahorine najznačajnija će biti
2017. godina kada na planine oko Sarajeva i Istočnog Saraje-
va ponovo dolazi olimpijski duh. Naime, te godine u ova dva
grada održaće se Zimski olimpijski festival mladih Evrope,

most visible are the changes in im-
provement of vertical transport,
where a huge step forward was made
by building two new six-seated lifts,
which enabled increased flow of
the skiers and less crowd on ski lifts
on this mountain. After last invest-
ments Jahorina has two six-seaters
and four ski-lifts that enable skiing
and transport for over 10000 ski-
ers per hour. Modernization of the
centre was completed with building
the system for artificial snow, which
solved one of the nightmares that
have been disturbing Jahorina in the
past years – lack of the snow. This
system covers about four kilometres
of the runs, and expansion is also
planned. Next phase of the develop-
ment plans to build closed ski-lift
– gondola – that would transport
tourists from Pale to Jahorina, and
to increase the skiers’ capacity. We
mustn’t forget the accommodation
capacities that now, with last ar-
rangements, have 4000 beds.
Snow to
the order of the mayor
Winter 2010/2011 finally brought
true winter atmosphere on this Ol-
ympic beauty – after several winters
with just a little or no snow at all, Ja-
horina today reminds of the winter
queen from our memories – covered
up with velvety white blanket, which
calls all those who want to enjoy its
charms. At last, there is plenty of
snow and it reminds of the old anec-
dote from 1978 when the then chair-
man of MOK lord Kilanin asked the
mayor of Sarajevo Ante Sučić, as a
Sarajevo candidature representa-
tive for organizing the Olympic
Games, can he guarantee enough
of the snow. Sharp-witted Sarajevo
mayor answered: “We know that in
the last hundred years during the pe-
riod foreseen for the Games it never
happened that there was no snow.
There was abundant of it. Consider-
ing your question, I can just say that
we guarantee optimal conditions and
possibilities for competitions, but still,
snow precipitations are not under my
authority as the mayor.” And he was
applauded by the present delegates.
And he returned to Sarajevo with
the organization of XIV Winter Ol-
ympic Games ’84.
Jahorina, snow beauty and true
skiing Mecca, is the one that calls
all the lovers of not just skiing and
snow sports, but all those who want
to feel this charm of skiing centre,
get to know one nicer image of Bos-
nia and Herzegovina, and see how
one successful tourism story is be-
ing created and sold. It attracts not
only the skiers and sportsmen, but
also walkers, those who will watch
at some future Olympians with gas-
tronomic specialties or just a cup of
tea, which has a special taste on this
mountain. And maybe they will also
try the white runs. It will make you
sit in the new six-seater and to climb
up to one of the tops, stand on Ogor-
jelica or Začarani dvori and to look
rapturously into the distance from
Jahorina, while mountain massifs,
plateaus and forests spread in front
of you so far as your view can catch.
And maybe then you’ll grasp how
much truth is there in the old song
that you’ll start to sing by yourself:
“Oh, how big is the
mountain Jahorina…
Grey hawk can’t
fly over it…”

Just these two names of the places are enough to bring love
between the mountain and the people closer to us – Charmed
courts and Heavenly valley. There’s no need for further descrip-
tion of the mountain for which people gave names like these…
In post Olympic history of Jahorina the most significant will
be the year 2017 when the Olympic spirit will come again to the
mountains around Sarajevo and East Sarajevo. European Win-
ter Olympic Youth Festival or European version of Olympic
Games for youth will be organized in these two towns.
Jahorina has two six-seaters and four ski-lifts that enable ski-
ing and transport for over 10000 skiers per hour. Moderniza-
tion of the centre was completed with building the system for
artificial snow, which solved one of the nightmares that have
been disturbing Jahorina in the past years – lack of the snow.
It attracts not only the skiers and sportsmen, but also walk-
ers, those who will watch at some future Olympians at gastro-
nomic specialties or just a cup of tea, which has a special taste
on this mountain.

Početkom devedesetih o njemu se
pisalo i govorilo zbog rata, kasnije
zbog turizma. Iz rata ni jedna kuća
nije izišla čitava. Kada sam nakon
rata vidio te ruševine, mislio sam da
se tu više nitko nikada ne će vratiti.
Pokazalo se ipak kako je Kupres pre-
lijep da bi bio nenastanjen. Danas
je grad gotovo potpuno obnovljen,

nadmašio.
U dugoj povijesti življenja na
ovim planinskim prostorima iznad
1100 metara nadmorske visine sn-
ijeg je bio najveći problem i izvor
svih nevolja Kuprešaka. Sve do
osamdesetih godina XX. stoljeća
kada se i ovdje počelo razgovarati
o zimskom turizmu. Izravni poticaj
izgradnji Zimskog sportskog centra
Čajuša s hotelom Adria ski bila je
Olimpijada u Sarajevu 1984. god-
ine. I ti su objekti ušli u „olimpijski
program“. Veliki zagovornici tur-
izma na Kupresu bili su tada Boro
Hrnjkaš, politički gazda u Kupresu
i direktor hotela Momo Mitrović.
Oni su također kumovali imenu
Adria ski, koje je ostalo do danas,
a povezuje Kupres s Dalmacijom,
odakle dolazi najveći broj gostiju.
Na Kupres su dolazili športaši
na pripreme i prije izgradnje hotela
Adria ski i boravili u tada novom
hotelu Kupres. Tu sam 1978. god-
ine razgovarao s ondašnjim prva-
kom Balkana u trčanju na 400 m
Joškom Alebićem, koji je bio obolio
pa mu liječnici preporučili planin-
ski zrak. Joško mi je s ushićenjem
pričao kako je za mjesec dana
ozdravio i dobro popravio krvnu
sliku. Tada je i Hajdukov trener
Ante Mladinić pripremao ekipu na
Kupresu, hvaleći ga na sva usta. U
to vrijeme su na Stožer, gdje je bilo
improvizirano skijalište, dolazili ri-
jetki skijaši i mnoštvo gledatelja, ne
samo iz Kupresa nego također iz
Livna, Duvna, Bugojna...
Nakon rata su braća Bagarići iz
Tomislavgrada privatizirali hotel
i skijalište na Čajuši, zasukali ru-
kave i za nekoliko godina napravili
pravo čudo. Obnovili su hotel s 250
ležaja, obnovili su i napravili 13 km

 KUPRES DOESN’T LIVE ON TOURISM, BUT IT COULD
From one side of Kupres gate water flows
to the Black Sea, and from the other to
Adriatic. Bosnia and Herzegovina and
Dalmatia can be seen from Stožer.
T
here hasn’t been smaller
place in B&H, and more
exposed in the media in
the past 20 years, than
Kupres. In the beginning it was
mentioned because of the war, later
because of the tourism. Not a single
house came out undamaged from
the war. When I saw those ruins after
the war, I thought that nobody will
ever come back there. But, it turned
out that Kupres is too beautiful to
be unpopulated. The town is almost
completely renovated, the villages
partly or not at all. Many business
companies started to work, and
tourism reached the pre-war level,
in some segments even exceeded it.
In the long history of living on
these mountain parts above 1100
metres snow was the biggest prob-
lem and cause of all the troubles of
people from Kupres, until the eight-
ies of the last century when discus-
sions about winter tourism started.
Issue topic Siberian winter in B&H
Direct stimulus for building the
Winter sports centre Čajuša with
the hotel Adria ski were the Olym-
pics in Sarajevo in 1984. And these
objects entered the “Olympic pro-
gram”. Great pleaders of the tourism
on Kupres were then Boro Hrnjkaš,
political boss in Kupres and Momo
Mitrović, director of the hotel. They
were also behind the name Adria
ski, which remained until today,
and connects Kupres to Dalmatia,
from where the largest number of
guests comes.
Sportsmen came for prepara-
tions to Kupres even before build-
ing of the hotel Adria ski and stayed
in the new hotel Kupres. In 1978 I
spoke there to the then champion
of the Balkans in running on 400m
Joško Alebić, who got ill so the doc-
tors recommended him mountain
air. Joško was enthusiastically tell-
ing me how he got better in a month
and improved his blood count. The
Tourism BiH • March 2012
coach of Hajduk Ante Mladinić pre-
pared his team on Kupres then, glo-
rifying it. Rare skiers and plenty of
audience, not only from Kupres, but
also from Livno, Duvno, Bugojno,
came to Stožer at that time, where
was the improvised ski run.
After the war Bagarić brothers
privatized the hotel and ski slopes
on Čajuša, worked hard and in a
few years made a real miracle. They
renovated the hotel with 250 beds,
renovated and built 13 km of runs,
closed swimming pool with sauna,
fitness centre, bowling-alley, sport
hall, football grounds, handball,
basketball, volleyball… And what’s
most important made a possibility
of making artificial snow.
Because of the capricious weath-
er, winter centres just can’t survive
without artificial snowing. We were
lucky because the river Milač flows
near Čajuša, 4km away, said the
owner of Čajuša Zvonko Bagarić.

je najvažnije, stvorili mogućnost za
pravljenje umjetnog snijega.
Zbog hirovitog vremena, zimski
centri naprosto ne mogu opstati bez
umjetnog zasnježivanja. Mi smo
imali sreću što rijeka Milač teče na-
domak Čajuše, 4 km udaljena, kaže
mi vlasnik Čajuše Zvonko Bagarić.
Pa smo tu napravili jezero, odvukli
cijevi na vrh brda, nabavili stro-
jeve...
Stasanje Čajuše pratili su i drugi
turistički fenomeni. Pa je Kupres
postao privlačno mjesto za one
koji su tu htjeli graditi vikendice.
Lokalne su vlasti tu vidjele i vlas-
titu korist, pa su uredile parcele i do
sada prodale oko tisuću placeva na
Adria ski
30 Turizam BiH • ožujak 2012.
kojima je niklo 500 vikendica čiji su
vlasnici mahom Dalmatinci.
Ovih zimskih dana, posebice u
vrijeme vikenda, Kupres je prepun
gostiju, popunjeni su svi hoteli:
Adria ski, Maestral, St. Markus i
Gradska kavana Kupres, a nešto za-
rade i vlasnici kuća s viškom pros-
tora. Ovdje je na djelu zimmer frei
ponuda kao svojedobno na Jadranu.
Kuprešaci imaju sličan problem
sa „siromašnim“ gostima kao i na
Jadranu. S tom razlikom što su sada
oni u ulozi Čeha, Bosanaca i Herce-
govaca. Naime, mnogi zimski gosti
Kupresa ponesu sa sobom hranu,
piće, opremu, čak i plinske rešoe
za kuhanje na otvorenom. Znaju
se također švercati na vučnici, a u
hotelskim zahodima porazbijaše
pločice tresući snijeg s potkovanih
pancerica. A gradonačelnik Ku-
presa Stjepan Herceg opet se tuži
da Kupres nema nikakve koristi
od turističke pristojbe, koja ide
Turističkoj zajednici Federacije i
Županije.
Sve su to rješivi problemi, a da
turizam u Kupresu uzima sve više
maha potvrđuje i izgradnja novih
skijališta, poput onoga na Stožeru,
s čijeg se vrha vidi i Bosna i Herce-
govina i Dalmacija.
Zvonko je Bagarić odmah sh-
vatio da ne može opstati samo na
kratkoj zimskoj sezoni. Zbog toga
je mnogo investirao u spomenute
sportske sadržaje u okviru Cen-
tra, kako bi na pripreme privukao
športske ekipe tijekom čitave god-
ine. Uostalom, ljeto je na Kupreškoj
visoravni čak ljepše od zime. Tada
se mogu posjetiti i kupreška jezera,
među kojima je Kukavičko jezero
pravi planinski biser. Mali broj lju-
di zna da Ravanjskim poljem teče
najkraća rijeka na svijetu imenom
Vošđenica. U proljeće je dugačka
samo nekoliko metara. Obilato iz-
vire i odmah nakon 2 metra uvire.
Da bi mogli napajati stoku i sebe,
seljaci su stoljećima svakog proljeća
glinom zatrpavali ponore, pa bi
tako produžili rijeku 15 km, sve do
sela Ravnog.
Od brojnih kupreških suve-
nira najčuveniji je nakurnjak.
Treba znati da se u Kupresu pe-
nis zove „život“. I danas će stari-
ja čeljad, gledajući nogometaša
kako se valja nakon što ga lopta
pogodi među noge, kazati:
Pogodilo ga u život. E, taj život
se znao i cijeniti, pa su djevojke
u svome ruhu pri udaji nosile
i nakurnjak. Koji život čuva.

Čajuša’s development was fol-
lowed by other tourism phenom-
ena, so Kupres became attractive
place for those who wanted to build
weekend cottages there. Local au-
thorities recognized their own
benefits there, so they arranged
the plots and by now they’ve sold
around thousand plots, where 500
weekend cottages sprang up, whose
owners are Dalmatians mostly.

djevojčice od 15-tak godina. I objasnio da su
oni naša mlađarija, ali su rođeni i žive u Ber-

sobu sa šporetom na kojemu bi sami kuhali i pekli.

- Taman, kazao je Stipan, ja priuredio podrum i
garažu, ubacio zračne štramce i šporet fijaker,
onog bugojanca, pripravio drva, pa nek' rade što
'oće.
Malo iz pola noći, Stipan je začuo galamu izvana.
Izletio je iz kuće i vidio kako dim suklja kroz vra-
ta podruma, a ojađena mlađarija nijemo gleda.
- Ne će šporet da vuče, ne će vući dim, mi ložili
fatru, ali ne dobar dimnjak!
Stipan je odmah uskočio u podrum. I odmah
dijagnosticirao problem. Mladi Švicarci naložili
vatru u pekaru, u rernu. Izbacio je zadimlje-
na drva i riješio stvar, osim dima i čađe. Jedan
momčić je govorio kako bi on znao naložiti vatru
u bijelom šporetu, kakav je u njegove bake, ali u
ovom... On je vidio otvorenu rernu i računao da
je to ložište. Pa Stipanovi gosti objasniše da će
sutra sve platiti, a sada idu u obližnji hotel Ku-
pres.
Na putu do hotela mlađarija je čula zavijanje vu-
kova i bjesomučno lajanje pasa. Zastali su u stra-
hu, a onda se najdomišljatiji uspeo na drvo pred
jednom kućom. Ostali su krenuli za njim.
- 'Ko zna koliko bi tu ostali da moja mater Luca
nije krenula na ranu misu, priča Stipan.
Kada je čula zov „U pomoć“, baba Luca se pre-
pala.
- Kako će ozgar, di Svevišnji stanuje, zvat upomoć
staru babu, kaže Luca. Već se razvidilo, pa vidim
da su gori čeljad. Šta ćete gori po ovom ledu, dico
moja?
- Vuk, bako, vuk vije, uzvrati joj jedan momčić.
- Vuk svoje, vi svoje, dico. Ne će vuk na čeljade.
Jedan momčić pokuša sići s drveta, ali ga drugi
povuče za rukav.

SWISS, GRANNY AND LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD
S
tipan has zimmer frei, so on the New Year’s
Eve one man from Duvno brought him three
boys and three girls at the age of 15 and ex-
plained him that they are our youth, but born
and live in Bern, so they want to get acquainted with
the way of life here. They want a room with a wood-
burning stove to cook by themselves.
- I’ve just redecorated the basement and the ga-
rage, put the stove, prepared the woods, and let
them do whatever they want.
Little while after midnight, Stipan heard uproar
from the outside. He ran out of the house and saw
the smoke belching through the basement doors,
and distressed youth watching numbly.
- The stove won’t go up, we started the fire, the
chimney no good!
Stipan entered the basement immediately and
diagnosed the problem. The young Swiss started
the fire in the baking space. He threw out the
smoked woods and settled the situation, besides
the smoke and soot. One boy said that he would
know how to start the fire in the white stove like
his grandma has, but this one… he saw opened
space for baking and thought that was the fire-

box. So Stipan’s guests said that they will pay eve-
rything the next morning and they went to near
hotel Kupres.
On their way to the hotel they heard wolfs’ howl-
ing and dogs’ barking. They stopped in fear, and
the most quick-witted climbed up a tree in front
of a house. The rest followed him.
- Who knows for how long would have they stayed
there, if my mother Luca didn’t set off to the early
mass, said Stipan.
When she heard cry for help, she frightened.
- Who would call for help, from above where the
Almighty lives, an old woman, said Luca. The
daylight was already, so I saw people up there.
Dear children, what are you doing there in this
coldness?
- The wolf, the wolf howled, said one boy.
- The wolf has its own, you kids, your own. The
wolf won’t go at people.
One boy tried to come down the tree, but the oth-
er caught him by the sleave.
- Don’t go down Denis, maybe that wolf disguised
into the granny. Like in the Little Red Riding
Hood.

Vlašić is the mountain that
stands above the town of Travnik.
Its highest peak is Paljenik (1943
m). There’s a centre for winter sports

Vlašić is almost equally away from
the Adriatic coast (about 200 km) as
from bigger continental towns in
the neighbouring countries, Zagreb
and Belgrade (about 300 km). The
distance from Sarajevo, the capital
of Bosnia and Herzegovina is 120

od vodećih centara zimskog turizma
u ex Jugoslaviji - ističe Samer Dolo-

je poželjno odredište sportskim
kolektivima, đačkim ekskurzijama,
ljubiteljima prirode, avanturistima,
a u zadnjih par godina Babano-
vac postaje odredište i kongres-
nom turizmu. Vlašić se posebno
preporučuje osobama koje imaju
zdravstvene probleme (asmatičarima
i anemičnim osobama). Generalno
za sve osobe koje žele odmor u pri-
rodnom planinskom ambijentu.

više staza za skijanje
Na Vlašiću je uređeno preko 10
km ski-staza srednjeg nivoa nagiba

potencijal u daljnjem razvoju ver-
tikalnog transporta koji se ogleda u
mogućnostima za proširenjem ka-
paciteta preko 100 km ski-staza (na

conditions make this mountain at-
tractive to all the passengers during
the whole year. Sport-recreational
centre “Babanovac” was founded
in the sixties of the last century , in
the heart of the Vlašić mountain at
the altitude of 1260 m, and it is con-
nected with Travnik (21 and 28 km)
by two roads and makes a basis of
the development of winter tourism
in this area. Formerly recognizable
for international competition in ski
jumps called “Vlašić cup”, with its 90
metres jump, which belongs to the
most southern and the most natural

ski jumps in Europe “Silver snow-
flake”, and had award for the most
arranged winter centre of the winter
tourism in former Yugoslavia, Vlašić
represented one of the leading win-
ter tourism centres in ex Yugoslavia
till 1992 – said Samer Dolovac, man-
ager of the tourist agency San tours.
After the war, already since win-
ter season 1997/1998, the Sport-
recreational centre “Babanovac”
returned its glory, went through the
expansion of the development of
many types of tourism and is already
among the best of the mountain cen-
tres in Bosnia and Herzegovina and
wider. Mountain-tourist place “Ba-
banovac” with over 1000 buildings
(hotels, weekend cottages, lodgings,
suite buildings…) is especially suit-
able for recreationists in winter pe-
riod, and it’s ideal for family rest. In
the other periods Vlašić is attractive
destination for sport teams, school
excursions, lovers of nature, adven-
turers and in the past few years Ba-
banovac has becoming the destina-
tion for congress tourism. Vlašić is
especially recommended for people
with health problems (asthmatic
and anaemic people) and in general
for all the people who want the rest
in natural mountain ambience.
One ski lift
– many ski runs
There are over 10 km of ski runs
arranged on Vlašić of middle incli-
nation of orbit with 6 ski lifts, out
of which 3 baby ski lifts for begin-
ners. The main ski lift “Babanovac”
has a system of artificial snowing
of the runs and infrastructure for
night skiing which has a baby ski
lift, creating a special experience for
fans of alpine skiing. There is a great
potential for further development of
vertical transport, which is reflected
in the possibilities for expanding the
capacities with over 100 km of ski
runs (on higher altitudes), which
aligns Vlašić mountain among one
of the rare mountains with this po-
tential, not only in B&H, but in wid-
er area.
Tourism BiH • March 2012
Particularity of the future surfac-
es (because of the ground configura-
tion) in further development of ver-
tical transport is also reflected in the
fact that the future runs can be cre-
ated in several different directions
at one ski lift, which is not a com-
mon possibility at other ski centres
on B&H mountains. Regardless of
marked potential and development
of the winter tourism, the percep-
tion and strategic development of
Vlašić mountain is reflected through
the development of mountain tour-
ism active throughout the year and it
became known as the destination of
gastro and wellness&spa pleasures,
place with sports and recreational
infrastructure, from the courts for
football, tennis, basketball to cycling
and hiking tracks, with the possibil-
ity of horse riding, paragliding, al-
pinism, riding in quads, jeep safaris
and so on.
More foreign guests
Tourist-mountain centre Baba-
novac has become a place with tra-
ditional events, from the New Year’s
Eve parties, visited by almost 15000
people, to events like “Cheese fair”,
CUP Vlašić in skiing, Adventure
festival of extreme sports, Vlašić
Expo Tours “Šankanje” etc. Recog-
nisability of Vlašić mountain even
outside of B&H borders is result of
natural beauties, tourist offer and
hospitability of the tourist work-
ers and population, where, besides
traditional guests from Croatia and
Serbia, also come Slovenians, Hun-
garians, Turks, the tourists from the
countries of Arabian gulf, and visits
of the tourists from the EU countries
are increasing.
Many people from public, sports
and cultural life visit mountain
Vlašić during the entire year, and
at the beginning of winter season
2011/2012 Vlašić was visited by the
famous actor John Travolta.

nu uslugu, imamo odličnu sarad-
nju sa ostalim hotelima i drugim
sadržajima na Vlašiću. U tekućoj
sezoni prezadovoljni smo radom. U
januaru je hotel bio u cjelosti popun-
jen. Što se tiče snijega ovakva zimska
sezona nije bila u posljednjih četiri
- pet godina. Snijega ima dovoljno,
prava zimska idila. Za naredni pe-
riod otpočeli su seminari, radimo
kongresni turizam radnim danima,
a vikendom preovladaju skijaši. Van
zimske sezone nastojimo približiti
ostalu ponudu na Vlašiću, male
škole alpinizma i svega što interesuje
goste na planini, foto safari, i druge
ljepote naše planine. Dobra je sarad-
nja sa turističkim agencijama i
Turističkom zajednicom SBK - ističe
Maida Čorić, šef recepcije.
Brigu o ski stazama vodi Vlašić
ski lift.
- Imamo na raspolaganju staze u
dužini od 12 km sa tri ski lifta. Uz to
na Vlašiću imaju još dva bejbi ski lifta
koji nisu u našoj nadležnosti - jedan
Eko Fis Vitez i drugi Gračanica. U
svakom momentu može da se trans-
portuje oko 600 skijaša (svi lifto-
vi). Krajem januara bilo je snijega
od preko jednog metra. Sezona je
uspješna, još bi bolje bilo da je snijeg
pao polovinom decembra. Ovo je
ponajbolja sezona u posljednjih pet
godina. Naš djelokrug rada vezan
je za zimske sportove. Ugradili smo
sniježne topove, produžavamo se-
zonu, udvostručujemo naše kapac-
itete, postavljamo još jedan lift dužine
1650 m. Radimo na osnježavanju sta-
za, već smo osjetili šta je to vještački
snijeg. Produžavamo sezonu, negd-
je do kraja marta, nakon čega opada
interes za zimske sportove - rekao je
Adnan Kalušić, rukovodilac Vlašić
ski lifta.
Svojim sadržajem rada Winter
sport upotpunjava bogatu ponudu.
- Imamo smještaj, iznajmlju-
jemo ski opremu, organizujemo ski
safarije, imamo kafe bar. Uspješno
udovoljavamo potražnji i željama
korisnika naših usluga. Sezona je
dobra, a primjetan je u posljednje
dvije sezone rast broja posjetilaca
iz BiH. Dakle sve je više domaćih
turista koji imaju mogućnost da se
bave zimskim sportovima, ponajviše
mladi koji su u stanju da sebi priušte
zimovanje, mladi bračni parovi sa
malom djecom. U odnosu na regiju
cijene za zimske sportove su pov-
oljne. Ovdje se i sada može ručati za
5 KM, nabaviti skuter, organizovati
foto safari i još neki drugi sportski
sadržaji. Tu su ekstremni sportovi,
turno skijanje, a od sljedeće sezone
idemo i sa nordijskim skijanjem.
Jedini smo ski rental na Vlašiću.
Općina planira praviti nordijsku ski
stazu sa italijanskom regijom Pija-
monto. To je novi sadržaj, nastojimo
s novom opremom proširiti ponudu.
Imamo malo sportsko igralište, ljeti
nudimo košarkaške kampove, dječje
klubove, korstićemo naš rental na-
bavkom novih sadržaja, iznajm-
ljivanje bicikla, rola i tome slično

napora nema uspjeha
U posljednjih godinu – dvije, na
Vlašiću svojom ponudom se ističe
Eko Fis Vitez.
- Našim projektom na Vlašiću
otkrivamo određenu poslovnu
zamisao, s jasnom suštinom. Na
Vlašiću se neplanski gradilo, nije
sretno urađeno, jedni kažu čak da je
Vlašić devastiran. Kupio sam 2,5 mi-
lona kvadratnih metara zemlje s na-
kanom da idem u razvoj stočarstva,
bio je plan da imam 3.000 ovaca
i farmu teladi. Farma teladi radi,
imam 300 teladi koje gajimo do juna
kada prodajemo mesnoj industriji sa
zdravom hranom koju sakupljamo.
Kupili smo 300-400 ovaca, međutim
pojava bruceloze prije dvije – tri
godine je uništila stočni fond glede
sira i mesa, tako da niko nije htio
kupovati ovčije meso. Okrenuo sam
se turizmu i vidio sam grešku koju
su napravili investitori na Vlašiću,
radio drugačije u odnosu na druge.
Gradimo komplekse koji će imati
najmanje 30.000 do 100.000 kvadrat-
nih metara prostora. Ljudi nisu

offer quality service to our guests;
we have great cooperation with the
other hotels and other programs on
Vlašić. We are more than satisfied
with our work in the current season.
The hotel was completely full. Con-
sidering the snow, winter season like
this didn’t happen in the past four-
five years. There is plenty of snow, a
true winter idyll. We’ve started with
seminars for the next period, we do
congress tourism on the work-days,
and the skiers come on the weekend.
We’re trying to bring the rest of the
offer on Vlašić closer outside of the
winter season; there are schools of
alpinism and all the things that in-
terest the guests on the mountain,
photo-safari and other beauties of
our mountain. We have good coop-
eration with the tourist agencies and
Tourist board of SBK – said Maida

- We have 12 km long runs
with three ski lifts at disposal. Be-
sides that, we have two baby lifts on
Vlašić, which are not in our author-
ity – one Eko Fis Vitez and the other
Gračanica. About 600 skiers can be
transported in every moment (all
the lifts). There was over one metre
of snow at the end of January. The
season would have been even more
successful if the snow fell in Decem-
ber. This is the best season in the
past five years. Our domain of work
is related to winter sports. We built
snow cannons, we are extending the
season, doubling our capacities and
building another ski lift 1650 m long.
We work on snowing of the runs and
we’ve experienced what is the ar-
tificial snow. We extend the season
until the end of May, after what the
interest for winter sports descends.

of “Vlašić ski lift”.
“Winter sport” completes the
rich offer with their programs.
- We’ve got accommodation, we

the ski safaris, we have café bar. We
successfully meet the demand and
wishes of the users of our services.
The season is good, and the increase
of the number of visitors from B&H
is noticeable in the past two seasons.
Consequently, there are more home
guests who have the possibility of
doing winter sports, mostly young
people who can afford winter holi-
days, young couples with children.
Compared to the region, the prices
for winter sports are reasonable. You
can have lunch here for 5 KM, get a
snowmobile, and organize photo sa-
fari and some other sport programs.
There are extreme sports, ski tour-
ing, and we’ll start with Nordic ski-
ing in the next season. We are the
only ski rental on Vlašić. The munic-
ipality plans to build Nordic ski run
in cooperation with Italian region of
Piamonto. This is a new program,
and we are trying to expand the of-
fer with new equipment. We have a

kvadratnih metara uložili šest mil-
iona KM. Imamo četiri stadiona,
biće desetak stolova za stolni tenis,
dva – tri kilometra staze za šetanje,
park sa jezerima. Dakle investirao
sam značajna sredstva, potrebno je i
druge uozbiljiti. Mogu samo svojim
primjerom pokazati kako se može
bolje napraviti od Fisa. U ovoj oblas-
ti Austrija je otišla čak 30 godina is-
pred nas. Kupio sam trosjed za djecu,
topove za snijeg što je neminovno u
Evropi. BiH jako malo zarađuje od
turizma. Imao sam jednu turističku
ekspediciju iz Pariza, kažu da smo
napravili nešto što je na evropskom Turističko naselje Babanovac ljeti
nivou. Nažalost to je veoma malo. Na Tourist settlement Babanovac in the summer
Vlašiću treba napraviti 30 stadiona.
Središte Babanovca • Centre of Babanovac
Planiram ulagati još sredstava gdje
se može očekivati dolazak i po par
miliona turista godišnje, što bi bilo
glavna privredna grana Travnika.
Moraćemo svi više raditi na usluzi,
kulturi, na šetnicama, da možemo
više zarađivati. Ovakvim turističkim
djelatnostima Austrija godišnje
zarađuje 20-30 milijardi. Jača je od
cijelog hrvatskog mora. Mislim da
je ovo svijetla tačkica na Vlašiću,
ali nisam zadovoljan, htio bih više.
Nažalost ni banke nisu spremne da
me prate dugogodišnjim kreditima
pod povoljnim uslovima, ili da mi
općina Travnik pomogne pa da i
oni ne traže i jare i pare. Traže da se
sve plati, a ništa se ne nudi od infra-
strukture. Sve smo sami napravili,

gotovo bez snijega, uz prve ovosezonske
padavine, otvoren je i ovaj park, smješten
neposredno iznad novogradskog naselja
Mojmilo. Praktično – Sarajevo je dobilo
skijalište, sanjkalište i prostor za uživanje
u brojnim zimskim radostima u samom
gradu. A brojna nasmijana dječja lica
najbolja su potvrda da je ovo bila odlična

ideja. S prvim snijegom, na padinama
brda Mojmilo otvorene su staze za skijanje
i za tubing, a Općina Novi Grad realizirala
projekat za koji su mnogi govorili da je
nemoguć. Istaknuo je to prilikom otvaran-
ja Parka i načelnik sarajevske novogradske
Općine Damir Hadžić:
„Kad smo govorili da ćemo omogućiti
skijanje u srcu Sarajeva, mnogi su bili
skeptični. To smo uradili po uzoru na ve-
like gradove u Evropi i sada imamo pri-
liku da koristimo prostor koji je, unazad
nekoliko godina, bio neiskorišten i nije
služio ničemu. Ovo je poklon svim našim

građanima, ali i onima koji su u posjeti
Sarajevu. Nadamo se da će veliki broj
Sarajlija, ponajprije omladine, dolaziti
rekreativno na ovu lokaciju, a možda jed-
nog dana sa ovih prostora i neki dječak
postane vrstan skijaš“.
ZIMSKI TOBOGAN
Nikad se ne zna, što da ne! Ali kreni-
mo redom. Dakle, ponuda sadržaja za tu-
riste u glavnom gradu BiH proširena je i
mogućnošću ove zabave u samom gradu.
A šta je to što očekuje posjetitelje ovog
parka? Tokom zimske turističke sezone
posjetiteljima su na raspolaganju ski-lift,
uz mogućnost dnevnog i noćnog skijanja,
tubing staza i ugostiteljski objekti. Radi
se, naravno, o baby liftu, no to je nešto
što se na jednom skijalištu i podrazumi-
jeva. Veću pažnju najmlađih, čini se, ipak
privlači staza za tubing. Ispred naplatne
kućice popriličan red onih koji žele ovu
vrstu zabave. A za one koji možda ne znaju
kakav je to vid zabave – tubing je spuštanje
niz specijalnu stazu u okruglim, gumenim

ka. Jednostavno, a zabavno. Užitak čak i za
pasivne posmatrače. I šetače. Nakon što se
nagledate kako najmlađi uživaju, možete
nastaviti šetnju uz brdo. Staze za šetnju su
ranije utabane, postavljene su usput drvene
klupe i stolovi, za one koji žele i odmoriti i
uživati u prirodi – u gradu, a izvan grada. I
tako, korak po korak, stižete i do vrha, gdje
vas čeka ugodna eko-kuća (gdje možete
besplatno popiti kafu ili čaj i uživati u po-
gledu). A onda možete produžiti do izlaza,
odnosno ulaza u arboretum. Da, tako je,
sadržaj novootvorenog sarajevskog parka
čini i arboretum. Zasađeno je više od
hiljadu sadnica, s više od stotinu brižljivo
odabranih vrsta, sa stručno preporučene
liste, autohtonih i drugih biljaka. Tu je i
šetnica, hortikulturni zasad, potom dva
dječja igrališta, trim-staza, amfiteatar za
edukaciju u prirodi, kamenjari, staze...
Tako će Sarajlije i gosti grada, osim na
okolnim olimpijskim planinama, moći da
šetaju, sankaju se, skijaju, grudvaju, šetaju
i uživaju na snijegu i u samom gradu. Prvi
spust na skijama napravio je, a ko bi drugi,
nego najpopularniji i najsimpatičniji sara-
jevski vuk, Vučko. Na otvaranju parka bilo
je i lijepo i veselo, a domaćini se nadaju da
će tako ostati i dugi niz godina, te da će
ovaj park ponuditi pravi užitak i u ostalim
godišnjim dobima.
Tubing je spuštanje niz
specijalnu stazu u okruglim,

etter moment for opening of the
entertainment-sports park, in
other words sports-recreational
centre “Park of forests Mojmilo”
in Sarajevo’s municipality of Novi Grad
couldn’t be chosen. After several winters
with almost no snow, with the first pre-
cipitations in this season, this park was
opened, located immediately above Novi
Grad’s settlement Mojmilo. Practically
– Sarajevo got skiing place, sledging drive
and the space for enjoying in many winter
pleasures in the very town. And plenty of
children’s smiling faces are the best affir-
mation that this was a great idea. With the
first snow, the ski and tubbing runs were
opened on the slopes of Mojmilo hill, and
the municipality of Novi Grad realized the
project, which many considered impos-
sible. Chief of the Sarajevo’s municipal-
ity Novi Grad said this at the occasion of
opening of the park:
“When we were talking that we’ll make
it possible to ski in the centre of Sarajevo,
many people were sceptical. We’ve made
this on the model of big cities of Europe
and now we have the chance to use the
space, which was unused and served for
nothing until recently. This is a present to
all our citizens and the visitors of Sarajevo.
We hope that a large number of Sarajevo
citizens, especially the youth, will come
recreationally to this location, and maybe
one day some boy from these parts would
become top quality skier.”
WINTER TOBOGGAN
You never know, why not! Let’s start
from the beginning. Well, the offer of the
programs for the tourists in the capital
of B&H is expanded by the possibility of
this entertainment in the city. And what
is it that expects the visitors of this park?
Issue topic Siberian winter in B&H
During the winter tourist season the
visitors have ski-lift, with the possibility
of day and night skiing, tubbing run and
catering places. We’re talking about baby
lift, but that’s something understood for
a skiing ground. The tubbing run seems
to attract the attention of the youngest.
There’s a long line of those who want this
kind of fun in front of the toll box. And
for those who don’t know what kind of
entertainment is this – tubbing is sliding
down the special run in round, rubber

boats. In other words, it’s something like
winter toboggan down which you slide
in a specially prepared rubber boats. And
the movable line takes you to the goal.
Simple, but entertaining. It’s pleasure even
for passive observers and hikers. After you
take a look at the youngest enjoying, you
can continue walk up the hill. The walking
tracks were trodden down earlier, wooden
benches and tables put along the way for
those who want to have rest and enjoy
the nature – in the town, but outside of
it. And so, step by step, you reach the top,
where an echo-house waits for you (where
you can have free coffee or tea and enjoy
Tourism BiH • March 2012
the view). And then you can continue to
the exit, or the entrance to arboretum.
Yes, that’s right, arboretum is a part of
the newly opened Sarajevo park. More
than thousand seedlings were planted,
with more than hundred carefully chosen
species from expertly recommended list
of indigenous and other plants. There is
a walking track, horticultural crops, then
two children playgrounds, trim-track,
amphitheatre for education in nature,
rockery, tracks…
So the citizens of Sarajevo and
guests, besides on surrounding Olympic
Mountains, will be able to walk, sledge,
snowball fight, and enjoy the snow in the
city. The first downhill on the skis was
made by, who else but the most popular
and attractive Sarajevo’s wolf, Vučko. It
was nice and cheerful at the opening of the
park, and the hosts hope it’ll stay the same
for years and that this park will offer a true
pleasure in other seasons of the year.
Tubbing is sliding down

turistički sadržaj za strane turiste
prema ovom istraživanju je, također,
okrenut prema tradiciji, običajima,
tradicionalnoj gastronomiji i ak-

je vidljivo turisti sve više žele osjetiti
mjesto u kojem borave i žele svoj
turistički boravak obogatiti iskust-
vom i doživljajem mjesta ili regije u
kojoj borave.
Provedeno istraživanje je
potvrdilo stavove da je ruralni turi-
zam odlična prilika za gospodarski i
socijalni razvoj određenih krajeva,
te da je to odličan izvor dodatnog
zapošljavanja i zarade, posebno u
onim područjima koja su manje raz-
vijena i koja se nalaze na perifernim
ruralnim područjima. S obzirom
da se Hercegovina po svim poka-

a u isto vrijeme je percipirana kao
turistička regija, zahvaljujući već

mostly expect nature, activity and

research is also turned to tradition,

eral rural areas. Considering the fact
that Herzegovina is considered as
rural region, regarding all the indi-
cators and at the same time is per-
ceived as a tourist region, thanks to
already recognizable tourist brands
like Međugorje and Mostar, Herze-
govina has great possibilities to use
all the potentials of the rural tour-
ism.
Ideal position
of Herzegovina
Can Herzegovina be a recogniz-
able destination for rural tourism?
To answer this question, first of all
we have to understand what rural
tourism is and what Herzegovina
can offer in that context.
According to some definitions
rural tourism can shortly be de-

 Seoski turizam “Marića gaj” u Grudama
rizam? Kako bismo odgovorili na
ovo pitanje moramo prije svega ra-
zumjeti što je ruralni turizam i što
Hercegovina može ponuditi u tom
kontekstu.
Prema nekim definicijama rural-
ni turizam, najkraće, možemo defin-
irati kao turizam koji podrazumije-
va pristup ljudima i mjestima izvan
gradskih područja i koji uključuje
različite aktivnosti u ruralnom
prostoru, kao što su šetnja, bicikli-
zam, planinarenje, posjeta lokalnim
manifestacijama i znamenitostima,
kupovinu lokalnih suvenira i proiz-
voda i sl. Ruralni turizam je zapravo
turizam koji se odvija u ruralnom
prostoru i koji uključuje sve one ak-
tivnosti vezane za ruralni prostor.
Uzimajući o obzir sve ono što
ruralni turizam jest, gdje je tu Her-
cegovina? Ma koliko to „izlizana“
fraza bila, i ma koliko mi smatrali
da smo umišljeni ili preambiciozni,
Hercegovina se uistinu nalazi na
fantastičnoj poziciji. Hercegovina
je cijelom svojom dužinom u stvari
jadransko zaleđe, u blizini je već
globalno prepoznatljivih urbanih
središta Dubrovnika, Sarajeva i

svjetski poznatih hodočasničkih
mjesta – Međugorje, Hercegovinu
već posjećuje preko milijun ljudi
godišnje, i tako možemo nabrajati u
nedogled.
Koliko god mi skromni, a
ponekad možda i „kratkovidni“
bili, rijetko se na tako malom pros-
toru, kao što je Hercegovina, može
pronaći raznovrsniji i turistima in-
teresantniji sadržaj. Onaj tko je ikad
posjetio neka strana, a da ne kažemo
poznata turistička odredišta, mogao
se uvjeriti u sve turističke potenci-
jale Hercegovine.
Neiskorišteni potencijal
Brojni se turistički sadržaji i
turistički proizvodi mogu raz-
viti, koji bi mogli upotpuniti već
postojeću turističku ponudu, ali i
privući nove turiste i posjetitelje
da istraže još neotkrivenu Herce-
govinu. U Hercegovini postoje još
turistički neiskorišteni sadržaji koji
se odlično mogu staviti u službu tu-
rizmu i omogućiti dodatne izvore
prihoda. Tu prije svega mislimo na
seoska gospodarstva, boravak na
obiteljskim gospodarstvima, ruralni
sadržaj, smještaj u ruralnom gos-
podarstvu, različiti tematski putovi
kao što su vinski putovi, putovi sira,
maslinova ulja, meda, aromatični
putovi, putovi duhana, biciklizam,
planinarenje, jahanje i sl.
Hercegovina definitivno može
biti prepoznatljivo odredište ru-
ralnog turizma! Hoće li ona to biti
ovisi prije svega o nama samima:
nadležnim institucijama, turističkim
zajednicama, općinama, kao i samim
turističkim djelatnicima. Hoćemo li
imati dovoljno snage i mudrosti da
iskoristimo suvremene trendove
u razvoju turizma kao šansu da
očuvamo našu tradiciju, kulturu i
običaje?
Kako bismo to postigli potrebno
je uvezati sve dionike u lancu vrijed-
nosti jednog turističkog proizvoda.
Potrebno je da svi oni koji čine ru-
ralnu Hercegovinu budu ugrađeni
u turistički proizvod, i taj proizvod
kvalitetno predstaviti i brandirati.
Čovjek, tradicija, izvornost, kval-
iteta, i u konačnici filozofija života
hercegovačkog čovjeka trebaju biti
smjernice u razvoju Hercegovine kao
odredišta za ruralni turizam, i tek
tada će Hercegovina i hercegovački
čovjek moći dostojno živjeti od tu-
rizma.

Nature monument Skakavac water-
fall, which is a part of the protected
areas in Sarajevo Canton, is only 12
kilometres away from the city centre.
Those who like walking know that
they can come from different direc-

waterfall, although it’s not character-
ised with a big water flow. Vehicles
still have no access, so many people
are ready to state that the beauty of
this Nature monument is preserved
thanks to that fact precisely. Last
year, Ministry of physical plan-

of the Sarajevo Canton published

the Management plan for the na-
ture monument Skakavac. In 2002,
Council of Sarajevo Canton issued
a Decision on declaring the wider
area of the Skakavac waterfall as a
nature monument, in other words
protected area. As the Decision
states, preserved area is proclaimed
third category, natural monument
intended for preservation of specific
natural characteristics. According to
the same Decision, within the bor-
derland of this nature monument,
there are three protected zones de-
termined. The first protected zone
(nucleus) encloses the waterfall Ska-
kavac and its surroundings with the
surface of 460.8 ha, and represents
the space of the highest values that
have to stay completely preserved.

cilj na vrhu ili u podnožju prekras-

98 metara, jedan od najvećih u Ev-
ropi. Vodopad Skakavac upisan je
u promotivnim materijalima i kao
odlična biciklistička tura: „Tura iz
Sarajeva do vodopada Skakavac se
smatra poludnevnom turom i u tom

kako namjerava izvesti skok. A onda

No, da bi izveli ovakav ili sličan
skok, budući će se skakači morati
obratiti udruženju „Aeroklub mod-
ernog padobranstva GAEA“, koje
Goran Todić vodi. No svoje znanje i
iskustvo, stečeno u svijetu, Goran ne
čuva samo za sebe, nego ga namjer-
ava podijeliti i to kroz školu koju
organizira u „Aeroklubu modernog
padobranstva GAEA“ (prijave su
u toku na www.gaea.ba ). Ko zna,
možda se i neko od polaznika škole
nađe na listi takmičara na proljeće,
za kada je planirano Internacional-
no takmičenje u niskim Base Jump
skokovima u Sarajevu, te spektaku-
larna završnica uz ekshibicione
skokove na Skakavcu.
Sigurno je da će se i tom prilikom
na prostoru ovog spomenika pri-
rode okupiti samo istinski ljubitelji
prirode. Prilikom promocije doku-
mentarnog filma priznatog bh auto-
ra Dinne Kassala „Nebo“ u kojem je
zabilježen i ovaj skok Gorana Todića
na Skakavcu, bilo je riječi i o tome
da li urediti put, odnosno omogućiti
prilaz automobilima do ovog
zaštićenog područja. Mišljenja su
podijeljena, a želja svima zajednička:
očuvati Skakavac, ali i naći način da
što više ljudi vidi njegovu ljepotu.
Ono kako je to Goran Todić uradio
zaslužuje najvišu ocjenu!
Na ovom području je
utvrđeno prisustvo preko 1500
biljnih vrsta, među kojima
je više od 100 dinarskih en-
dema, još 120 balkanskih i 40
jugoistočno evropskih endema,
te preko 100 rijetkih biljaka.

jedna od rijetkih u svijetu. Odlikuje
ga iznimna biološka raznolikost
na malome prostoru, pet prirod-
nih netaknutih jezera, rijeka Krupa
koja ponekad teče i od ušća prema
izvoru (kad vodostaj Neretva na-
glo poraste). Tu se nalazi i poznato
arheološko nalazište Desilo puno

dova i prapovijesnih eksponata, a na
krečnjačkim grebenima - niz sred-
njevjekovnih gomila, na zaravnima

od blata, živio od davnina…
Hutovo blato ima resurse za
svjetsko zanimanje prijatelja pri-
rode. Uostalom, upisano je u Ram-
sarski popis međunarodno važnih
vlažnih staništa pri UNESCO-vom
direktoratu u Parizu, u kojem se
nalazi oko 150 močvarnih staništa u
svijetu, od posebne važnosti za cijeli
naš planet. Nažalost, mi sami nismo
još uvijek prepoznali te vrijednosti.
Nakon velikih poplava kon-

arali smo s ravnateljem Parka prirode
Hutovo blato Nikolom Zovkom.
TURIZAM BIH: Nakon katastro-
falnog požara u listopadu prošle go-
dine, kakva je trenutačna situacija
u Parku prirode Hutovo blato? Na
koliko je procijenjena šteta?
ZOVKO: Nakon požara smo
poduzeli niz aktivnosti u sanaciji i
revitalizaciji Parka, ali rezultatima
i odnosom nadležnih institucija
nismo zadovoljni. Šteta je procijen-
jena na 2.700.000,00 KM. Naš plan
sanacije još uvijek nije odobren niti
smo dobili značajnija sredstva za
sanaciju, tako da je stanje u J.P. Park
prirode Hutovo blato i dalje iznim-
no teško. Lovočuvari ne rade, evo,
već punih 30 mjeseci, a i ovo malo
administracije, skupa sa mnom, ne
prima plaću punih 10 mjeseci.
TURIZAM BIH: Jeste
li zatražili konkretniju
pomoć? Kakav je odgovor
nadležnih institucija, s
obzirom na činjenicu
da su i prije požara i
dvije godine zaredom
katastrofalnih popl-
ava, bili „nijemi“ i
„gluhi“ za potrebe
Parka?
ZOVKO: Općinsko
vijeće i načelnik Općine
Čapljina poduzeli su
sve zakonom predviđene
korake zajedno s nama i
dokumentirali štetu, to smo
krajem prošle godine dostavili
županijskoj Upravi za civilnu zaštitu
i vatrogastvo. Ujedno smo napravili
i plan sanacije. Sve je razrađeno do
u detalje, međutim Vlada HNŽ-a još
nije reagirala.
TURIZAM BIH:Unatoč svemu,
postoje li planovi za oživljavanje
Parka prirode? Može li se naći izlaz
iz ove situacije tako što će se malo
drukčijom turističkom ponudom ili
nečim sličnim, prevladati trenutna
situacija u Parku prirode?
ZOVKO: Planovi postoje,
međutim ‒ bez osiguranja sred-
stava za plaće 18 djelatnika Parka

pokrenuti poduzeće i zaštitu ovoga

Smanjivanje sredstava prošlih godi-
na od strane Vlade HNŽ-a, dovela
su do slanja djelatnika na neplaćeni
dopust i zaštićeno područje ostavilo
nezaštićenim. Dakle, pošto nismo
dobili ništa za sanaciju prošlih godi-
na, a nema nas ni u Proračunu za
2012. godinu, teško je očekivati bolja
vremena za ovaj Park.
A što se tiče turizma pokušat
ćemo se idućih mjeseci pripremiti za
sezonu, ako nam prođu projekti koje
smo kandidirali. Za sada možemo
jedino istaknuti da je u tijeku re-
alizacija projekta koji nam je odo-

tor je Ekološka udruga Lijepa naša

kacijske staze, izradu hranilica i na-
bavu hrane za ptice. Očekujemo da
će nam kroz projekt pomoći i Feder-
alno ministarstvo turizma i okoliša
sa značajnijim iznosom, te Svjetska
banka kroz projekt GEF-a. Imamo

obećanje i od Ramsarske konvencije
da će financirati naš projekt koji smo
kandidirali još prije dvije godine.
Dakle, iz ove situacije se može izići
samo tako da Vlada HNŽ-a odobri
sredstva za plaće.
Raste zanimanje turista,
ali i nebriga vlasti
TURIZAM BIH: Što je s biljnim i
životinjskim svijetom Parka u ovom
trenutku?
ZOVKO: Biljni i životinjski svi-
jet u ovom trenutku potpuno je
nezaštićen i svakodnevno se oštećuje
raznim oblicima devastacije i opora-
vak će, kad počne, trajati godinama.
TURIZAM BIH: Dugo ste na
čelu Parka prirode Hutovo blato.
Kakvo je zanimanje turista za tu
destinaciju danas, u usporedbi s
prijašnjim vremenom?
ZOVKO: Zanimanje turista za
ovu destinaciju raste iz godine u
godinu, ali isto tako i razočaranje
zbog nebrige države.
TURIZAM BIH: Računate li
uopće ove godine na turističku se-
zonu i koliko su realne šanse za pov-
ratak Hutova blata u kakav – takav
život?
ZOVKO: Nastojat ćemo se
pripremiti, sve, ponovno, ovisi o pot-
pori Vlade HNŽ-a i drugih instituc-
ija. Bilo bi neprimjereno, osobito
prema učenicima koji nas posjećuju
u sve većem broju u svibnju i lipnju,
da im ne omogućimo našu, već do-
bro poznatu vožnju brodicama.
TURIZAM BIH: Kakva je uve-
zanost s drugim turističkim desti-
nacijama, parkovima prirode?
ZOVKO: S drugim parko-
vima i turističkim destinacijama
surađujemo. I oni žale što je kod nas
ovako teško stanje. Kao primjer nav-
est ću da smo prošle godine, u surad-
nji s J.U. Vjetrenica, osmislili izlet

year? What are the estimates of the
damage?
ZOVKO: After the fire we took a
line of activities in fixing the damage
and revitalization of the Park, but we
are not satisfied with the results and
relation of the authorized institu-
tions. The damage was estimated
to 2,700,000.00 KM. our plan of
renovation hasn’t been approved yet
and we haven’t received significant
means for renovation, so the situa-
tion in Nature Park Hutovo Blato is
still very difficult. Game-wardens
haven’t been working for 30 months,
and this small administration with
me hasn’t received payment for 10
months.
TOURISM B&H: Did you ask
for any particular help? What is the
answer of the authorised institu-
tions, considering the fact that be-
fore the fire and two years in a row
Jezero Svitava • Lake Svitava
From tourism - About tourism
of catastrophic floods, they were
“numb” and “deaf ” for the needs of
the Park?
ZOVKO: Municipality Council
and the mayor of the municipality
of Čapljina took all the legal steps
together with us and documented
the damage, and at the end of the
last year we sent it to the County
Direction of civil protection and fire
department. We also made the plan
for renovation. It was done very de-
tailed, but the Government of the
County hasn’t responded yet.
TOURISM B&H: In spite of eve-
rything, are there any plans for re-
viving the Nature Park? Could the
way out of this situation be found
with a little different tourist offer or
something similar that would over-
come the situation in the Nature
Park at the moment?
Tourism BiH • March 2012
ZOVKO: There are plans, but
without ensured resources for pay-
ments of 18 workers of the Park in
the budget of the County, it is im-
possible to move the company and
preservation of this area. The Gov-
ernment of the County again didn’t
put our financial plan into the draft
of the budget for year 2012. Fore-
seen resources amount to 9,600 KM
per month, out of planned 30,000
KM. County government’s decrease
of the funds in the last years caused
sending the employees to unpaid
leave and left protected area unpro-
tected. So, since we didn’t receive an-
ything for the renovation in the past
few years, and there’s no place for us
in the Budget for 2012, it is hard to
expect better times for this Park.
And regarding tourism we’ll try
to prepare ourselves for the season in
the next few months, if the projects
that we have nominated would come
out well. For now, we can only say

suradnju, kao što sam rekao, imamo
i s drugim parkovima u BiH, te Hr-
vatskoj i Italiji. Dobro surađujemo i
s nevladinim udrugama.
Divlji konji
su posebna atrakcija
TURIZAM BIH: Što je s pro-
jektom obnove zgrade koja će
služiti za uspostavu zbirki biljnog i
životinjskog svijeta?
ZOVKO: Na žalost, za obnovu
zgrade i uređenje zbirki nismo još
uvijek osigurali sredstva.
TURIZAM BIH: U vašim pro-
jektima, koliko sam informira-
na, navode se, između ostalih, i
zaštita opstanka divljih konja u

Parku prirode, opremanje zbirke
muzeja, izgradnja zgrade muzeja,
osmatračnica i revitalizacija plov-
nih objekata, sadnja drvoreda, tu je
i edukacijska staza…
ZOVKO: Da, to su sve naši
planovi koje bismo željeli realizirati.
Primjerice, divlji konji u Parku su
posebna atrakcija. Krdo je nastalo
od nekoliko jedinki koje su u ratnim
godinama našle dom u području
divljine ovog prostora. Sami su se
izborili za opstanak, te razmnožili,
tako da u krdu danas ima više od 40
konja i ždrjebadi. I dalje su oprezni i
vrlo teško ih je pronaći. Nekad su u
močvari, nekad u brdskom području,
nastoje živjeti dalje od čovjeka, a
spremni su i napasti svakoga tko ih
ugrožava. Pojava vukova u parku
dodatno ih uznemirava i ugrožava
dalje širenje populacije. Realizaciju
projekta zaštite i opstanka divljih
konja započeli smo prije deset godi-
na, a danas, nažalost, nemamo sred-
stava za njegov nastavak.
TURIZAM BIH: Koliko je sred-
stava godišnje potrebno, prema
Vašoj procjeni, za „normalan“ život
Parka prirode, i na koji način bi se,
u idealnim uvjetima, ona namica-
la?
ZOVKO: Za funkcioniranje Par-
ka i provođenje zaštite potrebno je
osigurati 360.000 KM godišnje. A
ako su osigurana ta sredstva, onda
se može radom u turističkoj djelat-
nosti i kroz kandidiranje projeka-
ta, značajno doprinijeti očuvanju,
unaprjeđenju i promidžbi Parka pri-
rode.

TURIZAM BIH: S obzirom na
probleme u kojima se nalazite,

ništa drugo, uputiti apel nadležnima
za pomoć pri rješavanju ovoga

TOURISM B&H: What is the
connection to other tourism desti-
nations like, the nature parks.
ZIOVKO: We have cooperation
with other parks and tourist destina-
tions. They also feel sorry for our bad
situation. As an example I’ll tell you
how we created, together with J.U.
the renovation of the building and
arranging the collection.
TOURISM B&H: As far as I’m
informed your projects list, among
other things, preservation of the
wild horses in the Nature Park, fit-
ting out the museum’s collection,
construction of the museum build-
ing, observation post and revitaliza-
tion of the vessels, planting lines of
trees, there is the education path…

Increase of the tourists’

interest, and of the
authorities’ negligence
TOURISM B&H: What is hap-
pening with plant and animal world
of the Park now?
ZOVKO: Plant and animal world
is completely unprotected in this mo-
ment and is being damaged every day
by a lot of things and the recovery will
last for years one, day it starts.

TOURISM B&H: You’ve been
at the head of the Nature Park for
a long time. What is the interest of
the tourists for this destination to-
day, as compared to the past?
ZOVKO: The interest of the tour-
ists for this destination increases
year after year, as well as the disap-
pointment because of the indolence
of the state.
TOURISM B&H: Do you count
at all on this year’s tourist season
and how real are the chances for re-
turn of Hutovo Blato in life?
ZOVKO: We’ll try to prepare
ourselves, but again, everything de-
pends on the support of the County
Government and other institutions.
It would be inappropriate, especially

Wild horses are a special

TOURISM B&H: What is hap-
pening with the project for renova-
tion of the building that would serve
for making the collection of plant

ZOVKO: Unfortunately, we
haven’t ensured the means yet for
ZOVKO: Yes, those are all our
plans that we wish to realize. For
example, wild horses in the Park are
especial attraction. The herd grew
out of several horses that found their
home in the wilderness of this area
during the years of war. They fought
for existence by themselves, and re-
produced, so today there are more
than 40 horses and foals in the herd.
They are still very careful and they
can’t be found easily. Sometimes
they are in the marsh, sometimes in
the hilly area, trying to keep away
from the humans, and they are ready
to attack everybody who tries to en-
danger them. Wolfs’ appearance in
the Park disturbs them additionally
and endangers further population
expansion. We’ve started with the

područjem.

TURIZAM BIH: Što mis-

lite, općenito, o turističkoj
ponudi u Hercegovini?
ZOVKO: U Hercegovini
treba još puno ulagati u obogaćivanje
turističke ponude. Postojeća in-
frastruktura nije dovoljna i nije na
odgovarajućoj razini osobito za
višednevni boravak turista. Mislim
da trebamo više koristiti domaću
kuhinju, domaća vina i druge domaće
proizvode, brandirati ih i ponuditi
posjetiteljima. Turistička ponuda
ovoga dijela Hercegovine je, po mom
mišljenju, razvijenija od ostatka BiH,
ali najviše zahvaljujući pojedincima

tion and survival of wild horses ten
years ago, and today, unfortunately
we have no funds for its continua-
tion.
TOURISM B&H: How much of
the funds are necessary, according
to Your estimation, for “normal”
life of the Nature Park, and how
would you raise those funds in ideal
conditions?
ZOVKO: We need to ensure 360
000 KM per year for functioning of
the Park and carrying out the pro-
tection. And if those funds were
ensured, then the work in tourism
and projects’ proposals can consid-
erably contribute to preservation,
improvement and promotion of Na-
ture Park.
Nature Parks guarantee
existence of many
species
TOURISM B&H: Considering
the problems that you have, can you
anyway say what are the plans and
the strategy for the next period, or
appeal for help to the authorities in
solving this problem?
ZOVKO: Plan for the Kupanje u kanalima Hutova blata
next period is to ensure
the funds for the func-
tioning of the Nature Park
Hutovo Blato and carrying
out the protection. Besides
the County Government
we’ll refer to other local
and international insti-
tutions. Spatial plan and
Plan for management of
the World Bank funds are
going to be made this year
through the project GEF,
and that is prerequisite for
sustainable development
and management of this
protected area.
TOURISM B&H:
What do you think about
From tourism - About tourism
tourism offer in Herzegovina in
general?
ZOVKO: There is still need for
a lot of investments in enrichment
of the tourism offer in Herzegovi-
na. The existing infrastructure isn’t
enough and is not on the adequate
level, especially for several days’ stay
of the tourists. I think we should use
more our local cuisine, local wines
and other local products, and to
brand them and offer to the visitors.
Tourist offer of this part of Herze-
govina is, in my opinion, more de-
veloped than the rest of B&H, but
mostly thanks to the individuals
that do that with families, investing
themselves and everything in tour-
ist season. But, as well there’s a need
for a healthy strategy of the state,
more order and support to healthy
projects.
TOURISM B&H: What do you
think how important link are the
nature parks in the tourism offer of
a country and even entire region?
Does B&H as a state draw enough
attention to that?
ZOVKO: Nature parks are ex-
ceptionally important for entire

humankind. They are guarantee of
existence of numerous plant and
animal species, and by that human
existence, because they represent
interaction among people and na-
ture. According to UN’s researches,
marsh habitats are the most valuable
ecosystems on the planet. Consid-
ering all mentioned above, let the
readers of “TOURISM B&H” come
to conclusion about relation of the
state of B&H to parks.
Plant and animal world
is completely unprotected in
this moment and is damaged
every day by a lot of things
and the recovery will last for
years one day it starts.
Nature parks are excep-

EXCLUSIVELY FROM LONDON:
DENNIS DRAŽAN ŠUNJIĆ,
from Mostar,
sommelier and consultant
for Wines of respectable
English company Coe Vintners
H
e came to London
in 1992 as a 16 year
old boy and after few
months started to work
in a restaurant. At that time, tells
us Dennis Dražan Šunjić, he didn’t
know the language that well, so he
started as a busboy – he was cleaning
tables. In just a year he became cock-
tail barman and worked until 1999
in top London restaurants and bars.
The rest is – history.
TOURISM B&H: When did love
for top quality wines get you and
how did you become a sommelier?

All about wines
in couple of sentences
TOURISM B&H: What are the
characteristics of top quality som-
melier?
ŠUNJIĆ: Top quality sommelier
has to be familiar with every wine
on the wine list of the restaurant and
the region from which it comes, and
the food served in that restaurant
as well. Sommelier
should be only your
assistant in choos-
ing the wine with the

make is that they buy only the wines

je kao da ja kupim samo jedan stil
ili jednu veličinu cipela, a vi ćete ih
nositi.
TURIZAM BIH: Kako procjenju-
jete kvalitetu i kako između dvije ili
tri vrste vina odlučite koje je bolje/
najbolje?
ŠUNJIĆ: Pri odabiru ili ocjen-
jivanju kvalitete, vino „razbijete“ na
najmanje dijelove i svakom pristupite
posebno. Onda ga ponovno sastavite
i, ovisno o tomu što namjeravate s
tim vinom, ocijenite njegovu kval-
itetu. Pojasnit ću! Kad netko pred
vas stavi tanjur s hranom, prvo što
uradite – pogledate kako sve to izgle-
da, je li čisto, svježe, je li dovoljno…
Nakon toga pomirišete… Miriše
li vam lijepo, je li svježe, složeno,
primamljivo, s previše začina ili ne,
i tek nakon toga – kušate. Tu, opet,
potvrđujete većinu ovoga iznad i
otkrivate – toplinu, bogatstvo oku-

sa… Tek onda odlučite – je li ta hra-
na na tanjuru kvalitetna, vrijedna
novca, biste li je preporučili nekome
drugom, itd. Veoma sličan je i moj
pristup vinu.
Malo tko zna
za hercegovačka vina
TURIZAM BIH: Po Vašem
mišljenju, gdje su danas, u europskim
okvirima, hercegovačka vina?
ŠUNJIĆ: Žalosno je da
hercegovačka vina, zapravo, ne pos-
toje u europskim okvirima. Neke
vinarije su toliko napredovale da
kvalitetom zaslužuju naći se u tim
krugovima, ali, nažalost, nepopular-
nost naše zemlje ih „koči“.
TURIZAM BIH: Kakav bi trebao
biti marketing za naša vina i na
čemu bi posebno trebalo poraditi?
ŠUNJIĆ: Država mora stati iza
vinara i pomoći im u promociji,
brandiranju, pa čak i u dodatnoj
edukaciji. Nitko ne zna za Her-
cegovinu kao vinsku regiju izvan
granica bivše Jugoslavije. Dosta
radim na promociji hrvatskih vina
i upoznat sam s tim koliko Repub-
lika Hrvatska ulaže u promociju
hrvatskih vina u svijetu. To je jedan
veoma spor i skup proces, čiji rezul-
tati nisu toliko veliki, ali je dobro što
hrvatski vinari vjeruju i gledaju na
duge staze. Prije tri godine hrvatsko
vino nije postojalo ni na jednoj vin-
skoj karti u Londonu, a sada su pris-
utne već četiri vinarije. Neke od njih,
kao primjerice Krauthaker, već su u
najprestižnijim restoranima i hotel-
ima s pet Michelinovih zvjezdica.
Mislim kako je, ako nastave i dalje
s promocijama, izlaganjima na vin-
skim sajmovima, organiziranim pos-
jetima vinskih stručnjaka i novinara,
samo pitanje vremena kada će svaki
restoran i supermarket u V. Britaniji
nuditi hrvatsko vino. Proboj samih
vinara je u današnjici koja „diše“
marketing - prosto nemoguć.
Iz turizma - o turizmu
you decide among two or three sorts
of wine which is better/the best?
ŠUNJIĆ: In choosing and evalu-
ating the quality, you “break” the
wine into the smallest parts and ap-
proach to each separately. Then you
put it all back together and, depend-
ing on what are you planning with
that wine, you evaluate its quality.
I’ll explain! When someone puts a
plate with food in front of you, the
first thing you do is – take a look at
how does it all look like, is it clean,
fresh, is it enough… After that you
smell it… Does it smell nice, is it
fresh, complicated, attractive, with
too much seasoning or not, and af-
ter that – you try it. There, again,
you confirm most of the above men-
tioned and discover – the warmth,
richness of taste… And then you de-
cide – is the food on the plate qual-
ity, worth the money, would you rec-
ommend it to someone else, etc. My
approach to wine is very similar.

Very few know
about Herzegovinian wines
TOURISM B&H: In your opin-
ion, where do Herzegovinian wines
stand, in European context?
ŠUNJIĆ: It’s sad that Herzego-
vinian wines actually don’t exist in
European framework. Some winer-
ies have made huge progress that
they deserve to be in those circles,
but, unfortunately, unpopularity of
our country “hinders” them.
TOURISM B&H: What kind
of marketing should be for our
wines and what should be specially

even in additional education. No-

region. I work a lot on promotion of
Croatian wines and I’m familiar with
how much Croatia invests in promo-
tion of Croatian wines in the world.
That is a very slow and expensive
process, which has no big results, but
it’s good that Croatian winemakers
believe and think long-term. Three
years ago none of the Croatian wines
existed on any of the wine lists in
London, and now there are already
four wineries present. Some of them,
for example Krauthaker, are already
in the most prestigious restaurants
and hotels with five Michelin stars. I
think that, if they continue with pro-
motions, exhibitions on wine fairs,
organized visits of wine experts and
journalists, it’s only a question of
time when every restaurant and su-
permarket in Great Britain will offer
Croatian wine. Breakthrough of the
winemakers by themselves in today’s
world that “breads” the marketing is
– simply impossible.

TURIZAM BIH: Što mislite,

pak, o hrvatskim vinima?
ŠUNJIĆ: Hrvatska vina su, u zad-
njih nekoliko godina, doista podigla
ljestvicu kvalitete, pogotovo vina od
autohtonih sorti. U Istri ćete se oz-
biljno pomučiti da dođete do lošega
vina. Istarska malvazija se, zasluženo,
već nalazi na vinskim kartama Lon-
dona i New Yorka i nastavlja osvajati
svijet, a o crnom teranu tek ćemo
čuti. Kontinentalna Hrvatska ne za-
ostaje daleko za Istrom. Kontrolom
prinosa, te sadnjom na boljim loka-
litetima i činjenicom da je, očito, a
što je i najbitnije, u pravim rukama,
graševina je pokazala svoju vrhun-
sku kvalitetu. Izborne berbe me
oduševljavaju.
Ipak, Dalmacija me najviše
privlači. S bogatstvom autohtonih
sorti, uvijek je spremna iznenaditi,
no kao regija, ipak, mora najviše
poraditi na kvaliteti. Plavac mali je,
zasigurno, vrhunska sorta, ali je u
dosta slučajeva, loše prerađen. Grk i
pošip s Korčule su mi apsolutni fa-
voriti.
Autohtona vina
na sve većoj cijeni
TURIZAM BIH: Što mislite o
brandiranju žilavke i blatine kao
autohtonih hercegovačkih sorti? Bi
li to pridonijelo boljem plasmanu i
spoznajama u svijetu o ovim vini-
ma?
ŠUNJIĆ: Brandiranje žilavke
i blatine je, zasigurno, pravi put.
Svijet je zasićen internacionalnim
sortama (chardonnay, cabernet sau-
vignon, merlot) i sve se više okreće
uvijek s korektnim svježim kiselina-
ma koje su inače problem u krajevi-
ma s iznimnim ljetnim vrućinama.
Sorta je to koja odlično podnosi
odležavanje u drvetu, pa s time i do-
bro „stari“; sorta koja na povišenim,
hladnijim položajima daje puno
lepršavija, mineralnija, aromatičnija
vina koja su s nešto manje alkohola
i kao takva - odlični aperitivi. Istu
tu žilavku Jancis Robinson, jedna
od najpoznatijih svjetskih vinskih
stručnjakinja, opisuje u svojoj knjizi
Vines, Grapes, Wines ( Loza, grožđe,
vino), kao unikatnu sortu vrhun-
ske kvalitete. Blatina, pak, po mom
mišljenju, nema kvalitetu žilavke, ali
je, također, veoma dobra. Sve više
mi se dopada sorta trnjak koje dosta
ima po Hercegovini i Dalmatinskoj
Zagori. Do 15% je nalazimo u kupaži
s blatinom, premda bih ja volio ek-
sperimentirati i, možda, obrnuti te
postotke. Problem s njom je da ima
Vlado Krauthaker, čiju ste vinar-
iju i spomenuli ranije u razgov-
oru. Ima li na britanskom tržištu
hercegovačkih vinara?
ŠUNJIĆ: Nažalost, zasad još
nema hercegovačkih vina na tržištu
Velike Britanije. Ta vina su redo-
vito osvajala medalje krajem XIX. i
početkom XX. stoljeća, posluživana
su na kraljevskim dvorima europskih
zemalja. Godine 1992., kada sam
došao u London, većina supermar-
keta je još uvijek imala Žilavku Mos-
tar na svojim policama. Ta Žilavka je
nešto značila, ali dvadeset godina je,
ipak, dugo razdoblje i sada ima novu
„putovnicu“. Zaboravljena je.

88 Turizam BiH • ožujak 2012. Iz turizma - o turizmu

 TOURISM B&H: I believe that
there’s no wine in Herzegovina that
you haven’t tasted. Never mind we’ll
make publicity for some of them…
At your opinion, which of them de-
serve to be on the top of the rank list
of the best ones?
ŠUNJIĆ: There is a lot of that is
really good, but I’ll single out Žilavka
– Brkić Cellars, Vilinka, then the one
from winery Gentille and Vukoje,
and Nuić’s and Brkić’s Blatina.
TOURISM B&H: And what do
you think about Croatian wines?
ŠUNJIĆ: Croatian wines have
lifted the level of quality in the past
few years, especially wines of indige-
nous sorts. You’ll put a lot of effort to
find bad wine in Istria. Istrian mal-
vazija has already placed, rightfully,
on the wine lists of London and New
York and keeps winning the world,
and red terano is yet to come. Con-
tinental Croatia is not far behind
Istria. With controlled yield, plant-
ing on better localities and the fact
that it’s obviously, and what’s most
important, in right hands, graševina
has shown its top quality. Selective
vintages thrill me the most.
From tourism - About tourism
Still, Dalmatia attracts me the
most. With the richness of indig-
enous sorts it’s always ready to sur-
prise, but as a region it has to work
the most on the quality. Plavac mali
is top quality sort, but in many cases
it’s badly processed. Grk and pošip
are my absolute favourites.
Indigenous wines
becoming more appreciated
TOURISM B&H: What do you
think of branding žilavka and bla-
tina as indigenous Herzegovinian
sorts? Would it contribute to better
placing and knowledge about these
wines in the world?
ŠUNJIĆ: Branding žilavka and
blatina is the right way, for sure. The
world is saturated with international
sorts (chardonnay, cabernet sauvi-
gnon, merlot) and is turning to the
indigenous sorts, and is experiment-
ing more.
I think that I have tasted wines of
almost all the sorts and from every
part of the world and I may well say
so that žilavka is top quality sort. It
is very complex, rich and with al-
ways fair fresh acids, which are usu-
ally problem in parts with extreme
Tourism BiH • March 2012
summer heats. This is a sort that
excellently bears ageing in wood,
and by that it ages well and that in
higher, colder areas, gives a lot more
lightsome, mineral, aromatic wines,
which have a little less of the alco-
hol and as that make a great appe-
tizer. Jancis Robinson, one of the
most famous world experts in wine,
describes this žilavka in her book
Vines, Grapes, Wines, as a unique
sort of top quality. At my opinion,
blatina doesn’t have the quality of
žilavka, but is also very good. I’m
getting to like the sort trnjak, which
Herzegovina and Dalmatian Zagora
have a lot of. We find up to 15 % of it
in coupage with blatina, but I would
like to experiment and maybe re-
verse this percentage. Its problem is
lack of vowels, like grk, so it’s diffi-
cult to pronounce for foreigners, ha
ha…
TOURISM B&H: I’ve read some-
where that, regarding Croatian
wines in Great Britain, Vlado Krau-
thaker, winemaker from Kutjevo,
whose winery you mentioned ear-
lier, has succeeded to make a break-
through on the market there. Are
there any Herzegovinian winemak-
ers on British market?
ŠUNJIĆ: Unfortunately, for now
there aren’t any Herzegovinian wines
on British market. These wines of-
ten won medals at the end of XIX
and beginning of XX century, and
were served at the royal courts of
European countries. In 1992, when
I came to London, most of the su-
permarkets still had Žilavka Mostar.
That Žilavka meant something, but
twenty years is, after all, a long pe-
riod and now it has a new ”passport”.
It has been forgotten.
Mostar isn’t a town of wines

ti vinski restoran? Možda školu za

ŠUNJIĆ: Od planova će mi glava
eksplodirati, ha - ha. Već dosta radim
s hrvatskim vinarima na promociji i
brandiranju njihovih vina u Velikoj
Britaniji. Radim konzultacije i radi-
onice na sajmovima u Hrvatskoj... I
svake godine „ubacim“ si još jedan-
dva dodatna projekta, što znači da
sam sve više „na jugu“, no sidro još
nisam bacio. Čekam pravi brod. Za
neki vinski restoran i Mostar - nisam
baš siguran. Mislim da grad nije
spreman za takvo nešto. Bilo je dos-
ta pokušaja, ali izgleda kako kultura

vina ipak nije tolika kolika bi trebala
biti u jednom gradu okruženom
vinogradima. Duša me zaboli kad
vidim kako neki naši vinari „trče“ u
Sarajevo kako bi prodali svoje vino.
No, škola za sommeliere se mora do-
goditi. I ne samo sommeliere, već za
sve one koji žele naučiti nešto o vinu.
Koliko znam, već se nešto konkret-

odgoj, uvijek me držao na njemu.
A sada… Iskreno uživam u
svome poslu, putujem po svijetu i
pijem dobro vino.
Vrhunski sommelier mora
poznavati svako vino na vin-
skoj karti restorana i regiju iz
koje to vino dolazi, kao i hranu
koja se služi u tom restoranu.
Sommelier bi trebao biti samo
vaš asistent u odabiru vina
uz hranu koju namjeravate
naručiti.
Država mora stati iza vi-
nara i pomoći im u promociji,
brandiranju, pa čak i u dodat-
noj edukaciji. Nitko ne zna za
Hercegovinu kao vinsku regiju
izvan granica bivše Jugoslavije.
Brandiranje žilavke i blatine
je, zasigurno, pravi put. Svijet
je zasićen internacionalnim
sortama (chardonnay, cabernet
sauvignon, merlot) i sve se više
okreće autohtonim sortama,
sve više eksperimentira.
Nažalost, zasad još nema
hercegovačkih vina na tržištu
Velike Britanije. Ta vina su re-
dovito osvajala medalje krajem
XIX. i početkom XX. stoljeća,
posluživana su na kraljevskim
dvorima europskih zemalja.
Iz turizma - o turizmu
 ŠUNJIĆ: The Company was
founded in 1930 in Redbridge in
eastern part of London and today is
still in private ownership of the fam-
ily Coe. We are one of the lead dis-
tributers of wine and spirits in Great
Britain. We are proud to have 2
MW’s (Master of Wine) in our team.
I’m a key account manager and con-
sultant, and partner for the choice
and import of wines.
TOURISM B&H: Plans for the
future? Do you wish, maybe, to
come back to Mostar one day and
open a wine restaurant here? May-
be school for sommeliers?
ŠUNJIĆ: My head will explode
from plans, ha ha. I’ve already been
working a lot with Croatian wine-
makers on promotion and branding
of their wines in Great Britain. I do
workshops and consultations on fairs
in Croatia… And every year I insert
one or two additional projects, what
From tourism - About tourism
means that I’m spending more time
in the “south”, but I haven’t come to
anchor yet. I’m waiting for the right
ship. About some wine restaurant
and Mostar – I’m not really sure. I
think that town isn’t ready for such
a thing. There were many attempts,
but it seems that the culture of wine
isn’t the way it’s supposed to be in a
town surrounded by vineyards. My
soul hurts how some winemakers
run to Sarajevo to sell their wines.
But, school for sommeliers has to
happen. And not only for sommel-
iers, but also for all those who want
learn something about wine. As far
as I know, there is some work on
that, so we can expect the first class-
es this year.
TOURISM B&H: And finally
couple of words about you privately.
When you look at this distance, was
it hard to get accustomed to life in
London?
Tourism BiH • March 2012
ŠUNJIĆ: Honestly, I acclimatized
myself great in London. I remember
how old I was when I came here,
alone, without parents…how life
was hard without them and danger-
ous…then I tap myself on the back
and I say: well done!
You know, it’s very easy to turn
away from the right way, but the
foundation, the house upbring-
ing has always kept me on the right
way.
And now, I honestly enjoy my
job, travel around the world and
drink good wine.
Top quality sommelier has
to be familiar with every wine
on the wine list of the res-
taurant and the region from
which it comes, and the food
served in that restaurant as
well. Sommelier should be
only your assistant in choos-
ing the wine with the food you
are about to order.
The state needs to stand be-
hind the winemakers and help
them in promotion, branding,
even in additional education.
Nobody outside ex Yugoslavia
borders knows about Herze-
govina as a wine region.
Branding žilavka and bla-
tina is the right way, for sure.
The world is saturated with in-
ternational sorts (chardonnay,
cabernet sauvignon, merlot)
and is turning to the indige-
nous sorts, and is experiment-
ing more.
Unfortunately, for now
there aren’t any Herzegovin-
ian wines on British market.
These wines often won medals
at the end of XIX and begin-
ning of XX century, and were
served at the royal courts of
European countries.

rva golf loptica zakotrljala
se u Hercegovini krajem
2006. godine kada je i os-
novan Golf klub Posušje.
I dok su u okruženju mudre glave
raspravljale o zakonskim okvirima

godine. Tridesetak vlasnika zelene
livade - oaze koju je Bog stvorio za
golf - dali su u zakup teren na deset
godina. Gentlmenska igra je mogla
početi, termini kao što su „green,
tee-off, fairway, hazard“, postali su
uobičajena priča.
Posušani su prestali s ulaganjem
u nogomet i skupe transfere „zvijez-
da“, velebni stadion čeka neka bolja
vremena.
Predsjednik Golf kluba Posušje
Veljko Lončar rekao nam je: „Tride-
setak članova kluba stalno je na ter-
enu i još toliko članova povremeno

Legatu već je odrađeno nekoliko golf
škola. Imamo dobru suradnju s Golf
klubovima Golf&Country Club Za-
greb, Golf klub Sarajevo, kao i s Golf
klubom Split.
Zadivljujuće je napomenuti kako
je više od 130 golfera iz Slovenije i
Hrvatske sudjelovalo na turniru
potpore posuškim golferima pod
nazivom KAMEN, KRŠ I MASLINA
- TEREN, GOLF, DOLINA“ - kaže
Lončar. „Osobito zahvaljujem gos-
podi Ćirilu Zoki, Željku Mariću, Ve-
limiru Čerkezu i svim Hercegovcima
i ostalima koji nam daju potporu...“,
dodaje predsjednik Lončar, vlasnik i
direktor ugledne tvrtke „Vokel“, koja
je i glavni sponzor kluba.
Ambiciozni su planovi posuških
golfera. Ponosni su na teren s de-
vet rupa za sada jedini u BiH (od
Krašića do Soluna u Grčkoj ne pos-
toji takav teren). U proljeće kad
zazeleni pitomi krajobraz i slavuji
zapjevaju, nastavit će se radovi oko
razvođenja vode i ugradnje prska-
lica za sve rupe što je zahtjevan pro-
jekt. Također krenut će nastavak
gradnje klupske kuće s restoranom,
svlačionicom, tuševima, prostorom
za iznajmljivanje opreme za golf.
Bit će moguće organizirati i keter-
inge za vrijeme turnira i različitih
oblika druženja na terenu. Važno je
pripomenuti da s prekrasne terase
puca divan pogled na cijelo igralište
- pravi odmor i lijek za dušu.
Prilazni put k terenu je probijen
i dobrim dijelom i asfaltiran, tako
da s lakoćom golferi i prijatelji golfa
stižu na Topalu. Namjera je uskoro i
nastavak radova oko ozelenjavanja i
sadnje borova i ostalog bilja...

he first golf ball rolled in
Herzegovina in 2006 when
the Golf club Posušje was
founded. While the wise
heads in the surroundings discussed
the legal framework of this sport, a
group of enthusiasts gathered on To-
pala, dried river bed and the lowest
point of Poaušje field and arranged
the terrain with five holes in 2007.
Thirty owners of the green meadow
– the oasis that God created for golf
– gave the terrain in lease for ten
years. The gentlemen game could
begin, the expressions like green, tee-
off, fairway, hazard, became regular
talk.
People of Posušje stopped
investing into football and expensive
transfers of “stars”, the magnificent
stadium is waiting for some better
times.
The president of the Golf
club Posušje told us: “Thirty club
members are on the terrains all the
time, and the number of members
that occasionally play golf is the
same. Thanks to a good friend, a
golfer from Slovenia, Urban Legat,

several golf schools were organized.
We have great cooperation with golf
clubs Golf&Country Club Zagreb,
Golf club Sarajevo and Golf club
Split.” “It is impressing to mention
that more than 130 golfers from
Slovenia and Croatia participated on
the tournament of support to Posušje
golfers called STONE, ROCKERY
AND OLIVE – TERRAIN, GOLF,
VALLEY. I especially thank to
Ćiril Zoka, Željko Marić, Vladimir
Čerkez and all the Herzegovinians
and the others who supported us…”
– added Lončar, who is the owner
and director of the company “Vokel”
that is also the main sponsor of the
club,
The plans of Posušje golfers are
ambitious. They are proud of the
terrain with nine holes, which is the
only one in B&H for now (there’s no
such a terrain from Krašić to Solun in
Greece). In the spring when the tame

the water distribution and installing
the sprayers for all the holes will
continue, what is a very demanding
project. The construction of the club
building with restaurant, locker
room, showers, space for renting the
equipment for golf will also continue.
It will be possible to organize
caterings during the tournaments
and various kinds of associating
on the terrain. It is important to
mention that there’s beautiful view
on the entire playground from the
beautiful terrace – a true rest and
medicine for the soul.
The access road to the terrain is
made and partly asphalted, so the
golfers and friends of golf can easily
come to Topala. The intention is
also to continue work on greening
and planting the pines and other
plants…

Suzana Novak – Zuza Idea
- KreARTiva was the fair full of
creative variety, creative people…
and full of visitors that gave support
to local people to present their crea-
tive work. The fair meant a lot to me.
The visitors made enquiries about
what I do, bought something, and
some contacted me later through
the internet. Big wish is that fair be-
comes a tradition!!!
Mišela Boras – Knitting
- I’m pleasantly surprised with the
entire project of kreARTiva – from
the announcement, attendance, to
originality and seriousness of the
exhibitors. I think that the project
is great stepping-stone for all small
creative groups and individuals.

- Dobro isplaniran i odrađen
timski rad koji je pokazao svoje re-
zultate. Ova zemlja ima puno vrijed-
nih i pametnih ljudi koji imaju što
ponuditi. Podržavam ovakve pro-
jekte jer su velika pomoć ljudima u
promociji njihovog rada i razmjeni
iskustava.
Suzana Novak – Zuza Ideja
- KreARTiva je bila sajam prepun
kreativne raznolikosti, kreativnih
stvaralaca... i prepun posjetitelja koji
su dali potporu domaćim ljudima
da prezentiraju svoja kreativna djela.
Sajam je meni značio - mnogo. Pos-
jetitelji su se raspitivali o tomu - što
radim, kupili ponešto, a neki su me
i naknadno kontaktirali putem in-
terneta. Velika želja - neka sajam
prijeđe u tradiciju!!!
Mišela Boras - Pletivo
- Ugodno sam iznenađena
cjelokupnim projektom kreARTive -
od najave, posjeta, pa do originalnos-
ti i ozbiljnosti samih izlagača. Mis-
lim da je projekt odlična odskočna
daska svim malim kreativnim skupi-
nama i pojedincima.
Merima Delić – Nimet
- Dojmovi s novogodišnjeg sajma
su fantastični - počevši od same or-
ganizacije događaja, do ažurnosti
samih organizatora, izvanrednog
posjeta, lijepog druženja i dobre
prodaje. Jedna ovakva manifestacija
je trebala Mostaru da bi se na ovaj
način animirali svi oni neafirmirani
umjetnici koji djeluju na ovim pros-
torima, a koji prije ovog događaja
nisu imali prigodu gdje prezentira-

jako pozitivno iskustvo!
Poppy - Helena Beljo
- Sajam mi je bio jedan pozitivan
i lijep događaj... I ovo predstavljanje
na sajmu mi je bila dobra prilika za
prezentaciju moje ideje. Ovakvi saj-
movi su dobri za sve mlade krea-
tivce.
Lamaruž
- Što se tiče naših dojmova sa saj-
ma, moramo reći da smo jako zado-
voljni i pozitivno iznenađeni organ-
izacijom i cijelim sajmom. Bilo je to
jedno jako lijepo iskustvo i ugodno
druženje. Sajam nam je pružio i do-
bru reklamu... Voljeli bismo da ima
više takvih događanja.
Božana Matić
- Posebno mi se svidjela pozitivna
energija i kreativno ozračje koje je
vladalo na sajmu. Ja sam, prije svega,
zahvalna na mogućnosti da svoj rad
predstavim većem broju ljudi, pogo-
tovo ljudima koji do sada nisu bili
upoznati s mojim radom.
Puce
- To je bio jako zabavan vikend...
Pozitivno ozračje, mnogo kreativnih
radova, nova poznanstva i nove
poslovne prilike. Nadamo se da je
ovo bio samo početak, te da će se
sajam razvijati iz godine u godinu.
Puce torbe su, svojim izlaganjem,
dobile jedinstvenu priliku pokazati
svoje rukotvorine i dobiti povratnu
informaciju od kupaca. Radujemo
se ponovnom dolasku.

- Sajam nam je, zaista, značio
mnogo. Prije svega za promociju i
upoznavanje javnosti s našim ra-
dom, upoznavanje s drugim krea-
tivcima i razmjenu iskustava koja su
od ogromnog značaja. Sve ovo smo
dobili na sajmu koji je bio odlično
organiziran, uz prelijepu atmosferu
i opušteno ćaskanje s kolegama i
kupcima.
Da-Da Bags
- Zadovoljni smo organizacijom
sajma i posjećenosti. Drago nam je
da su posjetitelji prepoznali krea-
tivnost i maštovitost svih izlagača. A
i mi kao izlagači došli smo do novih
poznanstava, a ljudi su, čini nam se,
prepoznali naše proizvode.
MaLe ŠpErKe
- Prelijepo je bilo dva dana
provesti u okružju prepunom osmi-
jeha, pozitivnih vibracija i kao da su
cijelo vrijeme okolo letjeli neki mali
leptirići. Vjerujemo da su i posje-
titelji osjetili dio toga kolektivnog
raspoloženja u Kosači. Više od same
prodaje i narudžbi naših torti od pe-
lena, značile su nam njihove pohvale
i komentari.

- Exhibiting on this fair meant
a lot to me because I gained new
friendships, made some earnings
and widened my market. In any case,
one very positive experience.

Poppy – Helena Beljo

- The fair was one positive and
nice event. And this presenting on
the fair was a good opportunity for
presentation of my ideas. Fairs like
this are good for all the young crea-
tive people.

Lamaruž
- Regarding our impressions
from the fair, we have to say that we
are very pleased and positively sur-
prised by the organization and the
entire fair. It was a very nice expe-
rience and good company to hang
with. The fair offered us a good pub-
licity… we wish that there are more
events like this.
Božana Matić
- I liked especially the positive
energy and creative atmosphere that
was at the fair. First of all, I’m very
grateful for the possibility to present
my work to a larger number of peo-
ple, especially to the people that
didn’t know about my work.
We hope that this is just the begin-
ning, and that the fair will continue
to develop constantly. Puce bags got
unique opportunity with exhibiting
on this fair to show their handicrafts
and to receive return information
from the buyers. We are looking for-
ward to come again.
Libelle – Unique Wood Artwork
- The fair really meant a lot for
us. Before all because of the promo-
tion and introducing the public with
our work, getting acquainted with
other creative people and exchange
of experiences, what is very impor-
tant for us. We received all this at the
fair, which was organized well, with
great atmosphere and relaxed chat
with our colleagues and buyers.
the creativity and imagination of all
the exhibitors. And we, the exhibi-

people seem to recognize our prod-
ucts.
MaLe ŠpErKe
- It was great to spend those two
days in an atmosphere full of smiles,
good vibrations and it seemed as
if there were small butterflies fly-
ing around all the time. We believe
that the visitors also felt a part of
that collective mood in Kosača. The
acknowledgments and comments
meant to us more than the sell-
ing alone and orders of our diapers

- It was a very amusing week-
end…positive atmosphere, a lot of
creative works, new acquaintances
and new business opportunities.

West Hercegovina Fest
Festival amaterskog stvaralaštva
West Herzegowina Fest je festival koji nastoji
potaknuti mlade kreativce i autore da stvaraju, te
prezentirajući svoja djela potiču i druge da to čine.
Organizatori pritom osiguravaju samo infrastrukturu,
dok program uglavnom oblikuju i upotpunjavaju
upravo mladi kreativci svojim radovima. Na taj se
način ne stavljaju naglasci na oblik i vrstu medija nego
na stvaralaštvo samo po sebi, zbog čega i organizatori
festivala naglašavaju da ovo nije ni filmski ni glazbeni,
a ni festival književnosti, već festival stvaralaštva. Ove
godine doživjet će svoje deveto izdanje.

West Herzegovina Fest
the festival of amateur creativity
West Herzegovina Fest is the festival that tries to
stimulate young creative people and authors to create
and by presenting their work to encourage others to do
the same. The organizers just ensure the infrastructure,
while the program is mostly shaped and filled by the
young creative people with their works. In this way, the
emphasis is not on the shape and type of the medium,
but on the creativity in itself, and because of that the
organizers point out that this is not a festival of film, or
music, or literature, but the festival of creativity. This
year it’s the 9th edition.
Sarajevo: Baščaršija nights
Every year from 1st to 31st of July the streets of

Smisao i cilj ove manifestacije je predstavljanje odnosa
hercegovačkog čovjeka prema ovome prirodnome
materijalu kao i suživota s njime. Poznata je činjenica da
se kamen kod nas kroz povijest koristio kao nezamjenjiv
i bogomdan materijal, da se sa kamenom rađalo, živjelo
i umiralo...
Posuški kamendani imaju za cilj probuditi u našim
ljudima još veći interes za kamenom, predstaviti široj
javnosti sve vrste djela kojima je tema bila kamen, bilo
to neko isklesano djelo, naslikana slika ili fotografije
kamena i kamenih građevina.

urizam je uslužna djelatnost koja, pored nužno
kvalitetnih proizvoda poput hrane i pića te
smještaja, svoj dugoročni uspjeh zasniva
prvenstveno na kvaliteti turističkog doživljaja
i iskustva. Mozaik konzumiranih proizvoda, doživljenih
okusa, boja, mirisa, i osjećaja, određuje zadovoljstvo

izmjene mišljenja i informacija, dodatno zaoštravaju
tržišnu utakmicu.
Kako bismo dobili priliku zaigrati u toj utakmici,
potrebno je znati prepoznati trenutno realno stanje u
sektoru turizma, ali i odlučiti što točno u budućnosti
priželjkujemo. Da bismo pokušali zabiti gol prepoznate
raskorake između trenutnog i željenog treba promatrati
kroz konkretne projekte koji će pomoći da se oni nad-

REDAH Mostar (Regionalna razvojna agencija za
Hercegovinu) od 2011. do 2013. godine provodi pro-
jekt Konkurentnog regionalnog ekonomskog razvoja Her-
cegovine (CREDO). Projekt financira SIDA (Swedish
International Development and Cooperation Agency).
Opći cilj CREDO Hercegovina projekta je povećanje
konkurentnosti i rasta malih i srednjih poduzeća u
odabranim sektorima regije Hercegovina. Inicijalnom
studijom izabrano je pet ključnih (najdinamičnijih) sek-
tora koji mogu pridonijeti stvaranju najmanje pedeset
radnih mjesta i potpori najmanje sto pedeset postojećih
radnih mjesta, u srednjem roku do četiri godine. Jedan
od sektora je i turizam.
118 Turizam BiH • ožujak 2012.
Kako bi se učinila kvalitetna analiza stanja u turizmu
regije Hercegovina, u početnoj fazi projekta, u Region-
alni odbor za turizam okupljeno je desetak stručnjaka
iz turističke struke. To su hotelijeri, restorateri, vlasnici
uslužnih djelatnosti u turizmu (poput rafting izleta i
slično), predstavnici nevladinih udruga za očuvanje
tradicijskih vrijednosti i domaćih gastro-eno specijalite-
ta, te djelatnici gradskih turističkih zajednica.
U prvoj fazi rada na terenu, prikupljanjem i anal-
izom podataka te usporedbom s europskom turističkom
praksom, definirano je pet temeljnih točaka koje je
potrebno promijeniti i razviti kako bi se dosegla željena
razina. Predloženi su načini i alati koji će sustavno pri-
donijeti preobrazbi trenutnog načina rada u onaj kojem
teže ključni turistički akteri Hercegovine, a sve s ciljem
povećanja konkurentnosti i građenja turističkog branda
(marke) regije.
Educiranost kadrova u turizmu
Ljudi čine srž turističke industrije, te je zbog toga
turizam jedna od najzahtjevnijih i najkompleksnijih
gospodarskih grana. Ljudi započinju, provode, istražuju,
kreiraju, ali potencijalno i zaustavljaju, sve procese un-
utar ugostiteljske djelatnosti. Ljudi su najveća dodana
vrijednost bilo kojem proizvodu i usluzi, pa su zasig-
urno ključ uspjeha u turizmu. Obzirom na činjenicu
da je analizom trenutnog stanja sektora sa sigurnošću
utvrđen nedostatak i/ili nedovoljna stručnost postojećeg
kadra, potrebno je poraditi na podizanju razine svijesti
Znanstveno-istraživačke i stručne teme
T
ourism is a service-based industry, in which
companies, except on quality food, drinks,
and accommodation facilities, build their long
term success on the quality of tourist experi-
ence. The mosaic of consumed products, experienced
scents, colors, tastes, feelings, is what defines whether
the guest is satisfied or not. Modern technologies enable
an instant exchange of opinions and information, which
makes the competition even harsher, and the market
game even harder to win. In order for tourism as an
industry sector in Herzegovina to get a chance at that
game, it is necessary to recognize the current state of the
industry, as well as decide on where we want the sector
to be in the future. In order for us to try to score at the
market competition game, we need to look at the defined
gaps between the current and the wanted, as specific
projects needed to overcome them.
REDAH Mostar (Regional development agency
Herzegovina), is implementing the Competitive
Regional Economic Development project (CREDO),
in the period between 2011. and 2013. The project is
financed by the Swedish International Development
and Cooperation agency SIDA, and its general goal is
to raise competitiveness and encourage growth of small
and medium enterprises in the chosen industry sectors
in Herzegovina.
The initial research showed that there are five key
industry sectors that are most dynamic and that can
contribute the most to creating 50 additional jobs and
supporting at least 150 current ones, in mid-term,
or within the period of 4 years. One of the sectors is
tourism.
In order to perform a quality analysis of the current
state of tourism in the region of Herzegovina, in the
Scientifical-research and proffesional topics
initial phase of the project, ten local tourism operators
were invited to join the CREDO regional tourism
board. They are hoteliers, restaurateurs, owners of
tourism oriented businesses (such as rafting, canoeing
etc), representatives of non-governmental organizations
nurturing traditional values and homemade gastro-eno
specialties, as well as local tourist board employees.
At the initial phase, during field work, through
gathering and analysis of data, and its comparison with
the European tourism practice, five basic points (gaps)
have been defined between the current and the wanted.
Ways and tools that will systematically contribute to the
transformation of the tourism operations in Herzegovina
have been suggested as a result of the analysis. The
ultimate goal of every effort is to raise competitiveness
and build the tourism brand of Herzegovina as a region.
Education of human resources in tourism
People are the core of the tourism industry, and that is
why tourism is one of the most demanding and complex
industries. People start, conduct, research, create, but
also potentially stop, all processes within the industry.
People are the biggest value added to any product and
service, and they are the key to the success in tourism.
Since analysis of the current state of the sector has
indicated a critical lack of competent human resources,
it is necessary to raise awareness about the importance
of accepting the service mentality at all the levels of
tourism workers. It is therefore necessary to work on
guest communication skills, foreign languages and tour
leadership skills, etc. Besides the aforementioned, it is
necessary to educate
ducate the management on how to more

o važnosti prihvaćanja uslužnog mentaliteta na svim ra-
zinama djelatnika u turizmu. Potrebno je, dakle, pora-
diti na kulturi komunikacije s gostom, povećati znanje
stranih jezika, podignuti razinu vođenja turističkih gru-
pa po poznatim turističkim odredištima i slično. Osim
navedenog, potrebno je upravljački kadar podučiti
učinkovitijem plasmanu proizvoda i usluga na tržište,
uspješnijoj prodaji i promidžbi.
Jačanje turističkih sadržaja i infrastrukture
Obilaskom regije Hercegovina utvrđena je očita
potreba poboljšanja postojeće infrastrukture. De-
taljnija konzultacija s lokalnim djelatnicima u turizmu
potvrđuje potrebu sustavnijeg ulaganja u uređenje
postojećih prometnica i njihovog okoliša. Lobiranjem
kod državnih struktura vlasti za kvalitetniju prometnu
povezanost regije treba uspostaviti veći broj autobusnih
linija i staviti aerodrom u Mostaru u punu funkciju.
Postojeći turistički sadržaji ne koriste sve turističke
potencijale ove regije. Nedostaju ponude koje će, pored
osmišljavanja ugodnog vremena koje gost boravi u Her-
cegovini, omogućavati regiji konkretne dodatne pri-
hode od turizma, (sportski i zabavni sadržaji, aktivnosti
za djecu i slično). Istaknuta je i potreba razvoja novih
turističkih sadržaja, a osobit je naglasak stavljen na ru-
ralni i aktivni turizam.
Umrežavanje turističkih djelatnika u
kreiranju zajedničke ponude
Trenutni su napori turističkih djelatnika u kreiranju
ponude individualni i nesustavni, donose kratkoročne
poslove i ostavljaju nedovoljno snažan trag na
turističkom tržištu.
Kako bi se osnažila pozicija Hercegovine na
turističkoj karti svijeta, potrebno je uvezati ponuđače
turističkih usluga u mrežu usklađenih subjekata koji za-
jedno kreiraju nove turističke aranžmane s jedinstvenom
porukom prema tržištu. Zajednički napori osnažit će
kvalitetu ponude te umanjiti trošak promocije. Također,
zdrava konkurencija i međusobna usporedba, potaknut
će sve aktere na poboljšanja unutar svojih organizacija,
te međusobnu razmjenu znanja i iskustva.
Kritična masa udruženih poslovnih turističkih sub-
jekata pokrenut će sektor k rastu i razvoju.
Analiza raskoraka između trenutnog i željenog na
površinu donosi potrebu za izradom paket aranžmana
umrežavanjem turističkih djelatnika, po tržišnim seg-
mentima (aktivni odmor / povijesne i religijske ture /
zimski turizam / ljetni turizam / gastro-eno putovanja /
poslovna putovanja).

Standardizacija usluga i kategorizacija
objekata koji pružaju ugostiteljske usluge
(u sukladnosti s postojećim državnim i EU pravilima koja
jesu ili će u skoroj budućnosti biti propisana zakonom)
Kvaliteta turističkog proizvoda u Hercegovini ne-
dovoljno je standardizirana, te postoje samo standardi
kakvoće hotelskog smještaja (sustav kategorizacije hote-
la za motele i hotele do tri zvjezdice provode županijska
ministarstva, a za hotele kategorije četiri i pet zvjezdica
Federalno ministarstvo okoliša i turizma). Prema infor-
macijama dobivenim od turističkih djelatnika, osnovna
zamjerka procesu kategorizacije turističkog smještaja
jest izostanak kriterija i ocjenjivanje izvrsnosti kvalitete
usluge. Nadalje, sudeći po analizi stanja na terenu pro-
ces je neprilagođen zahtjevima tržišta te se ne provodi
dovoljno učinkovito. Također, iznimno mali broj ob-
jekata posjeduje certifikate o kvaliteti (HACCAP, ISO
standardi i slično).
Važan detalj u uspostavljanju sustavne kontrole
kvalitete svih turističkih usluga i proizvoda zasigurno je
i element kontinuiranosti odnosno održavanja postig-
nute razine kvalitete. Naime, jednom kategoriziran ho-
tel rijetko kada u praksi biva predmetom ponovne ins-
pekcije, što nažalost često rezultira opadanjem kvalitete
u svim područjima djelovanja.
Preporuke djelatnika za prevladavanje ovog raskor-
aka idu u smjeru obrazovanja turističkih subjekata o
značaju i koristi koje uvođenje standarda kvalitete don-
ose njihovim tvrtkama, te kreiranja prilika za financijske
poticaje za njihovu primjenu.
Promidžba Hercegovine kao
turističkog odredišta
U trenutku kada Hercegovina ima stabilan, stan-
dardiziran i kvalitetan turistički proizvod koji nudi kroz
razne aranžmane interesantne definiranim tržišnim
segmentima i sačinjene od mreže turističkih subjekata
regije, potrebno je taj isti proizvod prezentirati poten-
cijalnim kupcima/gostima. Sustavni marketing, bran-
diranje i promocija na svim razinama društva bit će
presudan čimbenik uspješnosti plasiranja turističkog
proizvoda Hercegovine. Potrebna je izrada vizualnog
identiteta Hercegovine (logo, web stranica, fotografije,
video) jer je jedinstvenost u vizualnim komunikaci-
jama uvjet za prepoznatljivost bilo kojeg proizvoda, ili
u našem slučaju, odredišta. Cjelokupna komunikacija
prema tržištu mora biti jedinstvena te slati istu odab-
ranu poruku s kojom se mogu identificirati svi kvalitet-
ni ponuđači turističkih usluga u Hercegovini. Nadalje,
promocija mora uključivati više poslovnih subjekata u
Hercegovini kroz zajednička oglašavanja, organizaciju
događaja i projekata koji donose medijsku promociju.

effectively promote and sell their products and services,
as well as maintain the level of quality of the service
provided in their businesses.
Strengthening the tourist
offer and infrastructure
Just by walking and driving through Herzegovina puts
forward the need to improve on the existing infrastructure.
A detailed consult with local tourism operators confirms
the need for a systematic investment into the renovation
of existing roads and their surroundings. Through
lobbying at the federal government level, it is necessary
to insist on increasing the quality of traffic connectivity,
the number of bus lines and full functioning of Mostar
airport.
Further, the existing tourist offer does not completely
make use of all the potentials of this region. Additional
offer, such as sports and entertainment facilities, kids
animation parks, etc., would enrich the guest experience
and also enable the region to gain more income from
tourism. The need for developing new tourist offers
(attractions, facilities) is also evident, with rural and
active tourism have been identified as great potential.
Networking tourism operators
creating joint tourism offer
The current efforts of tourism operators are individual
and non-systematic, they bring short term results and
leave a weak mark on the tourist market.
In order to strengthen the position of Herzegovina
on the world tourist map, it is necessary to connect
the tourist operators from the region into a network of
cooperating businesses who create together new tourist
packages conveying a unified message to the market.
Joint efforts will increase the level of quality and decrease
the cost of promotion. Also, healthy competition will
encourage all operators to improve their business, and
to exchange know-how and experiences between each
other. The critical mass of connected tourism operator
businesses will move the sector towards growth and
development. The analysis of gaps between the current
and the wanted has brought up the need to develop
holiday packages (combining offers of multiple tourism
operators) according to market segments (active holiday
/ historical and religious tours / winter tourism / summer
tourism / gastro-eno trips / business trips).
Standardization of services and categoriz-
tion of accommodation facilities in tourism
Scientifical-research and proffesional topics
(in accordance to the existing Federal and EU reco
mendations that are or will become laws)
Quality of the tourist product in Herzegovina is
inadequately standardized. Hotel accommodation
standards do exist (categorization for motels and hotels
up to 3 stars is done through cantonal ministries, while
4 and 5 stars through the Federal ministry of tourism),
but they are lacking. According to the information
acquired from the tourism operators, their biggest
downfall is the fact that the law does not proscribe the
criterion, nor do the assessors mark, the level of service
quality. Furthermore, according to the analysis of the
current state of the industry, the categorization process
does not fit to the market requirements and is conducted
ineffectively. Also, an exceptionally small number
of facilities is categorized, or has quality certificates
(HACCAP; ISO standards etc.).
An important detail when developing a system
of quality control is most definitely the continuity or
maintenance of the acquired level of quality. However,
once a hotel in Herzegovina has been categorized, it is
rarely in practice again visited by an inspection, which
unfortunately often results in a decrease of quality at all
levels of operation. Tourism operators suggest raising
awareness of the benefits of implementing various quality
standards to a business, as well as creating financial aid
stimuli, as means of bridging this gap.
Promotion of Herzegovina
as a tourist destination
At a stage where Herzegovina has a stabile,
standardized and quality tourist offer available through
various packages designed for particular tourist
segments, and made up of a network of tourist operators
in the region, it is necessary to present that offer to the
potential guests. Systematic marketing, branding and
promotion at all levels of society, will play a crucial role
in the success of putting the tourist offer of Herzegovina
on the market. A strong visual identity must be created
(logo, website, photographs, videos) because unity in
visual communications are the number one condition
for a product or destination to become recognizable.
The overall communication towards the market has to
be unified and send the same chosen message all tourist
operators in Herzegovina can identify with. Further,
promotion must include more tourist operators in the
region through joint marketing activities, organization
of events, and project that bring the media attention.
