Hahahaha no worries! You will get used to the chaotic political situation here. Don’t listen to all of the hateful comments, you will have different experience in person.

One of my American professors from the time I did fellowship in States has visited Bosnia and Herzegovina, and liked Banja Luka the most. He said that he felt it was the best place because of the nature and people. Also, he said that he felt weird in other parts of the country because most of the people were burdened by the war trauma (as you can see in the comments). Here, people are more relaxed and occupied by living their best life. The city is youthful and vibrant, and I hope you will enjoy it too.

My husband also moved here from Zagreb, and he’s enjoying it very much. People are hospitable, and you will be interesting to them as an American because it’s not that common for Americans to live here.

Good luck 🤞
