My first impression was: "I thought this is one of the most developed cities in Bosnia". They've been talking to us that Brčko is town of your dreams, that salaries are 2x higher than in Serb Republic and Federation, and that maybe is true, but their town sucks! A lot of architecural mixtures, and result is - nothing. City way pretty damaged, and they had chance to rebuild it in some new style, but they didn't do it and now it's too late. One note, there are cars everywhere and it's making a lot of problems for photographer, plus there aren't many things to photo in Brčko. I tried to make this gallery look nice, but I failed. The only interesting things were Orthodox church and City mosque. Anyway, if you never been in Brčko, this might be a bit useful.

Well all I can say is that Brcko is by far better organized than Bijeljina :D

:okay:

super slike

I always thought Neum or Mostar would be wealthiest places in Bosnia, the fact being tourism and strong links with Croatia, but Brcko is also on Border with Croatia perhaps this plays important fact to its development!...

I don't know, it looks nice to me. And superb photography.

^ Thanks Stanislav, but trust me, cars were everywhere. In every single street, in paths for walking, everywhere. You probably know how iritating that is for someone who's trying to make a few photos ;)

Majevčan, I've been in both cities, and Bijeljina is much nicer. It has it's own style, and it's trying to keep it that way. Plus it's far more bigger city than Brčko, plus as my mother was always telling me (and I didn't want to hear her): "Sine, Brčko ti je jedna velika mahala i nema te pare koja će od nje napraviti ništa više, sem možda još veću mahalu".

Mic of Orion, I think wealthiest cities are that bunch of tiny towns in western Herzegovina; Lištica, Čitluk, Livno, becoase many Croats from Germany and other western countries are investing there. Plus, seems that Bogorodica visited some towns, too :)

Those pictures are absolutely great. I am extremely happy that Brčko is progressing and looking clean!
Saray, I have a few questions about the city, since I've never visited it.
1) Was there a lot of development in the city? Any nice projects, anything new.
2) What were the people like?
3) What part of the city were you in?

^ Here you go my friend ;)

1. There were some new buildings, but nothing you can call nice. Anyway, really not enough. Answer to your question: Yes, there are projects, but not a lot of them. But yes, you can see progress.

2. People are...hmm, typicall "radnička klasa", so you won't see nothing special. Plus, most of them are in "nationalistic" mood.

3. I was in city center, but I stayed there 4 hours and I saw all parts. It's small town.

Beautiful pictures! I think this town looks great! :)

My favourite picture:

Although I don't like this mosque, the picture is just amazing! The Blue sky, Clouds and that pathway...it looks so professional! :D Hahaha.

Also, what is this building?

I always see this building on postcards, picture collections of Brcko...is it some kind of symbol for the city?

^ I have no idea...I saw it on postcards too. But see that tree on it? Becoase nobody takes any care about it, I suppose it's private building?

Oh yes, the most important thing is to build new "houses of God", ccc. That's the scenario in all cities in BiH. Everywhere you go you can see a Mosque or a Church shining(read: recently built) and most of the buildings or houses around suck!

I dont know, i think it is sad that so much money has been invested in Mosques and Churches, not in Factories, Hospitals and Eduaction! Long live communism :D

^^ Ah, komunjaro :D
