After discovering Bosnia last year, I'll definitely be going back this year. We have about 3 weeks in June to ride around Ex-Yu and we hope to spend most of that time in Bosnia, Montenegro and Serbia.

Banja Luka - Jajce - Donji Vakuf - Bugojno - Prozor - Jablanica - Mostar - Stolac - Ljubinje - Trebinje - Dubrovnik.

It's not the shortest nor fastest but that's what I would take.
You'll enjoy this ride !

THX!
Almost how I was thinking

Mirnes:

A question for you (and I am directing this question specifically to you, because you live there): I notice that you refer to the country as 'Bosnia', but the official name of the country appears to be 'Bosnia and Herzegovina'.

Is there any difference implied between the use of 'Bosnia' vs. 'Bosnia and Herzegovina' - in other words, are there two different areas, one called Bosnia and one called Herzegovina - or is the word Bosnia commonly used as a short form to refer to the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the same way that 'America' is often used as a short form instead of the full official name 'The United States of America'.

Michael,

I'm using it as a short name. Bosnia is northern part of country and Hercegovina is southern part. There's no any kind of separation. Here we mostly use acronym BiH (which obviously mean Bosnia and Hercegovina) but I wrote Bosnia just to more clearer to foreigners and of course due to easier and faster typing. Just as example you made for USA.
Regards

regarding my plans, I would start easy, get familiar with bike and take weekend trips, do some wild camping and explore nearby region.
I travel a lot doing my work and I saw lots of countries I wish to visit and explore on bike, like Romania, Montenegro, Turkey.... but my dream ride would be to travel Silk Road... (wishes, wishes )
Hi mirnes maybe you can help me with some information

I want to take a short 2-3 week trip to Bosnia & Serbia

I was going to ride there but it would be much easy if i just fly there and pick up a bike.

I am looking to either rent a bike or buy a bike cheap and would need papers to cross either from Bosnia to Serbia or the other way round

I would want a old lightweight bike for off roading, old and cheap that starts and rides

I would be flying out Saturday next week or Sunday

Any info on this would be great

Wonderful country
Bosnia is a wonderful country been 3 times, 1993, 1997, not very good times but still scenic and great people all the same, and again in 2013 to visit old haunts.
Its still as beautiful as ever and well worth a visit
Although my Bosnian is a little poor now

i booked flight to Serbia only £40 direct from London and leave next week, problem seems the paper work side for border crossing from Serbia to Bosnia as so far it seems i cant get ownership papers.

A friend has found a few cheap bikes but just need to try sort out papers for border crossing, seems even riding a Serb registered bike in Serbia with insurance and not having owner papers is an issue

Any advice welcome from Serbian or Bosnian Hubb members

There's lots of nice roads over here and lots of places to visit, especially if you can take some light off road.. with your GS it wouldn't be a problem at all

Cheers
Hi mirnes, since you come from Bosnia, I'm also interested to know how traveling will be there. The roads are fine there, you say, but if you want to travel as fast as possible (We will be competing in a race on the public road) with 10 vehicles and 1 motorcycle, are there enough roads that can support that? And I'm very curious about the border crossings. We come from Europe, so that makes it easier But does it take a lot of time? And lastly, does Bosnia have any additional requirements to the vehicles that are allowed to drive there?

Thanks in advance!
