A Highly Respected Master of the Written Word 😃
Ešref Kovačević, a renowned Bosnian orientalist and calligrapher, lived a life defined by his devotion to scholarship, art, and faith. Born on September 1, 1924, in Kovačevci near Glamoč, he began his education in Gazi Husrev-beg's Madrasah in Sarajevo, completing it in 1944. He served as an imam for eight years in Donja Vratnica, where he not only led his community but also helped build their mosque from the ground up.
Kovačević studied Turkish and Arabic languages and literature, graduating in 1958. Despite his academic brilliance, he refused political affiliations for ethical reasons, which delayed his university engagement. However, in 1960, he joined the Oriental Institute in Sarajevo as a turkologist and became known for his meticulous research and translations, including works like Hududnama Bosanskog Vilajeta.
Kovačević’s mastery of calligraphy earned him recognition across Bosnia and beyond. His art adorns mosques and official documents, including his remarkable wartime trannoscription of the Qur’an under dire conditions. This feat, completed in 16 months during the siege of Sarajevo, remains a testament to his resilience and dedication.
He passed away in 1996, leaving behind a legacy cherished in Islamic and cultural circles. Streets in Sarajevo and Bihać bear his name, and his life's work continues to inspire scholars and artists alike.😊

Cultural question for my subscribers:
In your culture, is it acceptable to tell your parents that they are lying, or do you have to use euphemisms?

Non-Controversial Opinion:
I thought about this for a long time and I really have to say it. Bosnia must be the final boss of democratic-anarchy, there is no way the Americans can rig all of our elections. Our democracy is indestructible and our corruption cannot be matched.😎

Edhem Kadušić: Bosnia’s Tallest Resident 👤
Born in the village of Domislica near Maglaj in 1917, Edhem Kadušić stood at an impressive height of 238 centimeters and weighed 118 kilograms, making him the tallest resident in the country. According to his son Zijad, Edhem always struggled to find appropriate footwear and clothing.
Having had a very difficult childhood—losing his parents early and living in poverty—Edhem mostly wore handmade leather sandals known as "putravci," which he crafted himself from cowhide. His mother wove linen clothing for him, as they couldn’t afford tailored clothing or shoes.
After losing his parents, he lived with his aunt and, like many boys of his age, worked as a shepherd and in agriculture. At the age of 16, he experienced a sudden growth spurt. When he went to serve his military duty in Zagreb in 1936, his commanders often joked with him, saying, "Soldier, get down from the chair," even though he was standing.
After completing his service, he was allowed to take his uniform home, as the army had no use for it due to its unique size.
During World War II, he once traveled to Travnik for work. On his way back home near Žepče, he was stopped by German soldiers. Fearing they intended to execute him, he was relieved to find out they only wanted to take a photograph with him. However, the shock and fear from this incident caused him to develop diabetes.
Edhem passed away in 1961 at the age of 44. The Zagreb Museum expressed interest in purchasing his body after his death, as did a wealthy bidder from the United States, but Edhem refused such offers during his lifetime.

The arms industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina continues its upward trajectory, signing an 80 million BAM contract with Saudi Arabia on February 7, 2024.
This news comes on the heels of a record-breaking year, with BiH companies exporting nearly 344 million BAM worth of weapons and ammunition in the first ten months of 2023—a remarkable 37.5% increase compared to the previous year.
📈 Companies like Igman, Pretis, Ginex, and Binas are driving this historic growth, not only expanding their global presence but also contributing to local community development. The Saudi contract is another milestone in their efforts to strengthen international partnerships.
🔗 With global demand rising, particularly amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, the industry is poised for further success. Let’s hope this growth continues sustainably, even after the conflict ends.
