8 BasiCs A word from the mayor Welcome to Sarajevo, a city of diversity and friendship. Throughout its history, Sarajevo has witnessed numeous changes. As a kind of a link between the East and the West, as a meeting place of different cultures, ideas and customs, Sarajevo has retained each sequence of its past, each mark of the times and rulers that walked these lands. A walk through the heart of the city simultaneaously becomes a walk through all the periods of the city’s existence. Every visitor can daydream about the sto- Hotels Restaurants Cafés Nightlife Sightseeing Events Maps N°4 - 400 lek www.inyourpocket.com TIRANA 2006 - 2007 ries dating back to the Ottoman Empire or Austrian rule. They can listen to the whisper of the past and perhaps one day personally talk about the warm, welcoming people and about a city where dreams and reality meet. This walk will open wide all the doors of the past, and every corner will tell its remarkable story, from the crowded streets to the silence and shade of Sarajevo’s gardens. The idea of publishing this type of guide dates back several years. The aim was to enable easier access to information required to take you through the diversity of the city of Sarajevo. The guide contains useful tips and directions to places of interest as well as an overview of the city scene. In order to realise the idea of the city guide a wait was required for the segments of the past and the present to join. Today Sarajevo is a continously expanding modern cosmopolitan centre where new and imposing buildings rise. Thanks to events such as the Sarajevo Film Festival, Jazz Festival and ‘Baščarškijske Noči’ Festival, Sarajevo has become an international metropolis of modern art and culture. To this day diversity, opposing views, innovative ideas, different cultures and generations, old and new architecture and old and new art flows all join up in Sarajevo. The citizens of Sarajevo create that distinct city feel and the key link enabling the harmonization of differences. However, Sarajevo does not belong to its citizens only but to all those who consider it their own and who visit it with good intentions.

Bosnian Cuisine If you like meat, you’ll love Bosnia and Herzegovina. Meat is a standard for any meal. However, there is still lots of interesting meals you can make do if you are a vegetarian. A typical breakfast is very different from a traditional English, American or Australian breakfast, but they can be found in the occasional restaurant. Omlettes, hams, eggs and cheeses are very popular and can be found even in most places. For budget travelers the large supermarkets carry fruit yogurt, muesli, and juices and the open markets are always filled with fresh fruit. Bakeries open early and sell hot rolls, croissants, brown bread, apple and cherry strudles which you can take to a cafe and enjoy with a morning cappucino. All travellers should at some point enter a buregdzenica and try the famous traditional pita dishes of burek, zeljanica, sirnica, and krompirusa. They are all made from scratch and have been a traditional meal since Ottoman times. Burek is a meat pie wrapped in filo-dough. The zeljanica is made from spinach and cheese. Sirnica is made from a fresh, homemade cheese and krompirusa is diced potatoes with spices. Usually one portion (porcija) is enough to stuff you. A porcija costs between 2-3KM. They may ask if you like pavlaka spread on top. Pavlaka is a fresh cream that tastes wonderful with the pita. Thin yogurt is also a popular drink alongside your pita. Meat eating travellers should try out the wide range of available meats and should not miss the typical rostiljnica that serves up a range of grilled meats specialities. Whether chicken, beef, lamb, or pork, they come fresh from the mountainside. It is common practice here to raise all animals free range, and with no hormones or chemicals. Most people say they can taste the difference. Here is a list of the most popular traditional dishes: Cevapi small meat sausages of lamb and beef mix. They are usually served with fresh onions and pita bread on the side. Cevapi usually come in pointer finger size sausages and are offered by five or ten pieces. Teletina is veal, usually served in cutlets. Veal in BiH is not produced by locking calves in a cage to ensure softer meat. Jagnjetina lamb grilled over an open fire. Musaka a meat pie made of minced beef, very similar to shepherds pie. Filovane paprike fried peppers stuffed with minced meat and spices. Pršut air dried ham, similar to italian proscuitto. Sudžuk beef sausages with a similar form to pepperoni. Suho Meso dried meat, either beef or pork. Sarme meat and rice rolled in cabbage or grape leaves. ‘Ispod Saca’ similar to a dutch oven. A metal dish is placed on hot coals, the food is placed in the dish and covered by a lid which is then completely covered in hot coals and left to bake. sarajevo.inyourpocket.com Cevapi sa kajmakom BasiCs Cheeses are also prepared and strained in a variety of ways and are absolutely delicious. The vegetarian traveller will have a hell of a time getting through these which can ordered as a large starter or side dish in restaurants, bought in supermarkets or at the market where is has been freshly and naturally prepared. Travnicki a white, feta-like cheese from the Travnik district in central Bosnia. It is a bit salty and very popular with ‘meze’, which is the tradition of slow drinking and eating throughout the course of a whole day. Vlašicki similar to travnicki cheese. It is a highland cheese from the mountain villages on Vlašic Mountain in central Bosnia. Livanjski is more similar to the dry yellow cheeses of Dalmatia. It is very tasty and usually more expensive than others. It originates from the west Bosnian town of Livno. Mladi Sir literally means young cheese. There isn’t an equivalent to it in English. It has a soft texture and is unsalted. Often times it is served with a cream sauce on top. It is very healthy. Kajmak is the most difficult of all cheeses to translate. It is the top layer skimmed from milk, it is creamy and extremely tasty. Kajmak and ustipak (doughnut type roll) is a wonderful appetizer. Iz mjeha sheep milk poured into a specially sewn sheep skin ‘bag.’ After a time the dry cheese is taken out of the skin container and the result is a strong, dry cheese that resembles real parmesan.
