6 BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA Short History Most Bosnian historians think the Bosnia has been an independent state since the ninth century. At the beginning the rulers of Bosnia were bans. The first known ban was Ban Borić and then more famous Ban Kulin. After the coronation of Ban Tvrtko I Kotromanić in the rulers of Bosnia became kings. Bosnia kept its independence until the Turks came in 1463 when it becomes part of the Otoman Empire. Although a small country, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very rich culture that influenced the neighboring countries of the Balkans (music, literature, film, art and applied art, design and modern media). Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with Hungary, is the only country in the area with more than one Nobel Prize winners: Vladimir Prelog (chemistry) and Ivo Andrić (literature). Sarajevo was the host of the 14 Olympic Winter Games which were the games of peace and friendship. Music in Bosnia and Herzegovina has long and famous history. Traditional Bosnian music is a mixture of different influences. The most famous is SEVDALINKA, a very specific love song with a very long tradition and its characteristics are poetic and romantic song lyrics with a bit of melancholy which is not surprising because the word sevdah in Arabic language means love. Bosnia has a lot of important and famous writers. The most important writer in our country and the Nobel Prize winner for literature is Ivo Andrić. He won the Nobel Prize in 1961 for his novel Na Drini ćuprija. During the Ottoman period many writers from Bosnia were well-known in the oriental world and in Bosnia there was a new branch of literature called Alhamiado literature. It is important to mention the three religions present in Bosnia which have a great influence on cultural development of the country. Sarajevo is the only town, along with Jerusalem, which has Orthodox Church, mosque, Catholic Church and a synagogue in the area of 100 square meters. The most important exhibit of the Zemaljski museum in Sarajevo is the Sarajevo Haggadah, a traditional Jewish prayer book which was brought here in the 16 century by the Sephards who were expelled from Spain. Oriental heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina can be seen in many examples of oriental, sacral and secular architecture.
