On October 28, 2026, members of the GangoROhodci group joined representatives of several organizations and foundations to explore these important historical sites and raise awareness about their preservation.

The visit was organized at the initiative of Semir Osmanagić, with support from the Nevesinje Tourist Organization and local partners. Radoš Buha served as the host and guide, introducing participants to the area's rich archaeological heritage.

After exploring the medieval tombstones at Kalufi, the group climbed Svinjac Hill to visit the remains of the ancient settlement.

The gathering highlighted the importance of further archaeological research, documentation, and protection of these valuable sites.

With its fascinating history, cultural heritage, and beautiful landscapes, Nevesinje has significant potential to become an even more attractive destination for cultural and historical tourism.
