Looks like they have space for one beach between Ploce and Dubrovnik
My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon that stopped in Kotor, Montenegro. For fun, we rented a car and drove up to Split in Croatia along the sea. That means we got to drive through that strip of Bosnia. We stopped and had lunch at a little pizza place in Neum, Bosnia.
The people in the pizza place asked us how in the world we came to be there. 😆
Yeah, they actually built a goddamn huge Pelješac bridge last year to circumvent this part, so if you're travelling along the croatian coast down to Dubrovnik you don't need to cross the Neum border any longer. They actually spent like half a billion euros on that project just out of spite. That's the balkan thing.
B&H: Can swim??
Croatia: Neum.
Herzegovina: Can I be first this month?
Bosnia: No.
Wtf Croatia, that’s not fair! Learn to share!
That's actually really interesting!
TL;DR they gave the coast to the Ottoman Empire hundreds of years ago for free because they were tired of fighting invaders from the sea. Free protection in exchange for cities they weren't able to defend anyway.
Man. That story turns the whole situation on its head. Fascinating. Thanks!
kept always wondering about this. thanks
That's a weird fricking boarder if I've ever seen one...
Croatia: "Hold my beer, watch me landlock this MFer right here..."
They failed though
Chile has entered the chat.
Bolivia has ragequit.
On the flip side, at least they don't need much border security. Unless it's Croatia invading.
Ok maybe you can swim but I've made a whale sized territory especially for you
Too soon..
