Bijeljina
Bijeljina is the city where I was born and lived for 16 years.
The city is situated in North Eastern Bosnia just a couple of kilometres of the border of Croatia and Serbia. Here are some pictures of the old city long before I was born, but also of the city in the way which I remeber it. Unfortunately Bijeljina has changed a lot since 1992 when Serbs took the power and etnicly cleaned the city, destroying everything that wasn't theirs.
But the old city of Bijeljina will always have a big place in my heart and
I will always love it in the way I remember it.
ENJOY!!!
