📜 The First Islamic Epigraphy in Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦

The earliest Islamic epigraphy in Bosnia seamlessly transitioned from stećci to nišans, preserving medieval literacy and art. These early nišans closely resembled upright stećci, featuring carved figures of humans, deer, horses, birds, swords, bows, flags, and rosettes. The innoscriptions, written in bosančica, mirrored those found on stećci, proving the deep cultural continuity.

🔹 "This is the marker of Sulejman Oškopica."

🔹 "Blessed be the hand that carves and writes."

The first nišans (15th-17th c.) stood alongside stećci, blending local traditions with Islamic influences. Their existence reminds us that cultures do not erase each other but evolve together.

Company Owner Insulted Worker’s Mother Because He Asked for His Salary! Set His Mercedes on Fire Because His Salary Was 10 Days Late!

Derim E. (31) Was Not Previously Known to the Police!Last night around 11 PM, a Mercedes car was set on fire in Tuzla, belonging to A.H., a construction entrepreneur. According to reports, he insulted the worker’s mother and acted aggressively when the worker demanded his payment, which was already 10 days late.

Derim E. took matters into his own hands and set the Mercedes on fire, which completely burned down. He was arrested but released after giving a statement.

Over strong Arabic coffee, journalist Yehia Ghanem learned of the motivations of foreign fighters in the Bosnian war:

Coffee and the crusades

Once there, I met Abu Al Walid, the Algerian leader of a band of 25 mujahedeen who were fighting in that part of Bosnia. Some of his men were Algerian; others came from elsewhere in the Middle East.

It was an unusually cold autumn night in 1994 and we sat around a fire, drinking strong Arabic coffee, on one of the many hills surrounding the city of Zenica, 70km north of Sarajevo.

Abu Al Walid had a face that looked as though it had been carved from stone. He seemed to be in his early 40s and had spent six years fighting in Afghanistan. He was well-mannered but fiercely disciplined, and his men, who ranged in age from their mid-20s to early 40s, were like copies of their leader.

We spoke animatedly. They were clear about who they considered to carry the ultimate responsibility for the massacres committed by the Serbs in Bosnia: the West, led by the US.

🇧🇦 Strengthening the Domestic Defense Industry

BNT - Factory of Machinery and Hydraulics in Novi Travnik continues to grow as a key player in the defense industry of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

🔹 The company produces mortars, howitzers, tank cannons, and aircraft guns, unmatched anywhere else in the Balkans.
🔹 Once on the verge of bankruptcy, BNT has recovered and now employs 430 workers, with no outstanding debts and continuous expansion.
🔹 In the past year, 130 new workers were hired, and 50 more positions are currently open.

All products are currently for export, but having the technology and capacity for domestic defense production remains essential. Connecting the domestic industry and ensuring long-term stability is crucial for the benefit of all citizens.

🇧🇦 In these uncertain times, a strong national defense industry is a necessity.

Eduard Freiherr Böhm Ermolli inspects the first Bosnian-Herzegovinian Regiment at Hodowam,14 December 1916. Whilst many tales of the Bosniaks in WW1 were created on the Italian (Isonzo) front, many Bosnians (mainly the first and third Regiment) fought on the Eastern front agains the Russians, as well. The fighting was brutal and costly, yet the Bosnians preserved their elite status even in times of great hardship. By the end of 1917, the Bolsheviks would tear Russia apart in their seizure of power, reciprocating in chaos for the Russian troops on the front. Some units disbanded, the others kept fighting until the end. Russia officially signed the Brest-Litovsk treaty in March 1918 thus ending their participation in the Great War. The war cost them more than 2 million dead and nearly 5 million wounded.
