THE COFFEE AND RAKIJA PODCAST

Hi, it’s David here, and welcome to another episode of Coffee and Rakija, the podcast where I share my life as an Englishman living in the beautiful and sometimes surprising Balkans.

I'll be sharing stories from the perspective of an over 70's guy, living in rural Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I'll also explore the stories, culture, and a slice of life from my rural village that make this corner of the world so special for me.

I’m really glad you’ve decided to join me today.

Discover Bosnia: Must-Read Books on Historical Conflict

In this episode I recommend four impactful books about the country's tragic conflict in the early 1990’s.Starting with 'Klaonica,' a collection of emotional poems.

'Welcome to Sarajevo' by Michael Nicholson.

'In Harm's Way' by Martin Bell.

and 'To End a War' by Richard Holbrooke.

These books provide deep context and understanding of the Bosnian conflict.I also talk about and emphasise the importance of avoiding political discussions as a foreigner.
