Glimpses of Elegance: 19th-Century Bosniak Children's Attire ☪⚜

This 19th-century Bosniak children's costume, worn by wealthy families, was made from luxurious materials like silk and velvet, reflecting high social status and refined aesthetic taste during the Ottoman era. Pastel colors signified Muslim identity, as other faiths were restricted to darker tones. The attire featured fine muslin shirts, silk dimije, and intricately gold-embroidered vests, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. Girls wore flower-adorned fez caps, with the wealthiest adding jeweled brooches. Jewelry symbolized readiness for marriage—the more adorned a girl was, the higher her status.

“I have spent several years in Bosnia and Herzegovina and have not once seen the face of a Muslim Bosniak woman.”
– Antun Hangi, "Life and Customs of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina"

The zar was a silk women’s covering worn when going out in public. It arrived in Bosnia from the East during the 19th century, brought by the wives of Ottoman officials.

It was a symbol of luxury, status, and refined taste. The zar could only be found in wealthier households and was passed down from generation to generation.

This bajrakli zar comes from Vareš, from the Lagumdžija family. It is a gift from hanuma Senida Lagumdžija, née Parić, a descendant of a respected Vareš family. Woven from the finest thick silk in grey, it is interlaced with bronze threads and edged with golden tassels.

The zar was a woman's window to the world, allowing her to be present without being exposed to the gaze of others.

The 700-year-old Mehter orchestra has once again graced the streets of Bosnia, reviving the old Ottoman music and the memory of the Caliphate. They plan to tour several cities across our country, so do show up if you have the time.

700 yıllık Mehter takımı, Bosna sokaklarını bir kez daha şereflendirdi; eski Osmanlı müziğini ve hilafet hatırasını canlandırdı. Ülkemizdeki birkaç şehri ziyaret etmeyi planlıyorlar, bu yüzden vaktiniz varsa mutlaka katılın.

🇮🇱🇧🇦 Amir Gross Kabiri: From Business to Power in Bosnia

Israeli businessman Amir Gross Kabiri entered Bosnia via the company M.T. Abrams, gaining control of Mostar’s Aluminij brand and assets for just 30,000 KM/month after the company’s collapse.

But Kabiri’s ambitions quickly moved beyond business.

🧠 Soft Power Moves:
• Built close ties with HDZ Mostar
• Took over cultural and sports institutions
• Became one of the most influential figures in Herzegovina

⚠️ Political Interference: Kabiri sent photos of dead children to then-Mayor of Sarajevo Benjamina Karić, accusing her of supporting Hamas. After she filed charges for harassment, he sent another package – this time with an Israeli scarf.

🇮🇱 Israeli ambassador Galit Peleg warned the FBiH Government to respect Kabiri’s rights. In response, PM Nermin Nikšić said authorities would investigate the legality of his business ventures.

🕯️ On This Day: June 28, 1914
The Assassination That Sparked a World War

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and his wife, Sophie, were assassinated in Sarajevo on this day in 1914 by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb member of the Young Bosnia movement.

What seemed like a regional tragedy quickly spiraled into a global catastrophe. Within weeks, the tangled web of alliances and rising tensions across Europe ignited the First World War — a conflict that would claim over 16 million lives and reshape the world forever.

“The shots in Sarajevo echoed across the century.”
