Trebinje

Srdjan Aleksic's father said on Friday that the tributes paid to his son, who died 30 years ago and has become a rare symbol of wartime tolerance, are keeping him alive.

As he arranged flowers on his son's grave in the city of Trebinje, Rade Aleksic proudly showed off a pot on which unknown mourners had written the message: "To a fellow citizen - a hero."

Among the more curious sights in Trebinje, a small town in southeast Bosnia, close to the border with Montenegro and Croatia, the pigeon post office is surely the most intriguing.

It was the work of Austro-Hungarian officials who, at the end of the 19th century, after occupying Bosnia, ordered the planting of the immense plane trees that today are the main symbol of the town.

Serbian actor Nebojsa Glogovac had died in Belgrade having been admitted to the Institute of Oncology ten days ago, which is when media reported that he was seriously ill and that his health condition was serious.

Glogovac was born on August 30, 1969 in Trebinje, southern Bosnia, into a family of Orthodox priests. The family moved to Pancevo, Serbia, when he was seven years old.

Police in the southern Bosnian town of Trebinje have filed war crimes charges against retired Bosnian army general Jovan Divjak for allegedly committing crimes against Serbs in the 1992-5 war.

A joint project between Croatia and Bosnia aims to revitalise the old railways built by the Austria-Hungarian Empire by creating a network of bicycle trails, which will also help unlock the tourist potential of the region.

In a coordinated operation codenamed "Mask," police raided several locations in Bosnia and neighbouring Croatia on Thursday and arrested more than 20 people - including four policemen - believed to be involved in organized crime, as well as drug and weapons trafficking between those two countries.
