The beauty and tourism potential of Banjaluka were presented to Ambassador of Slovenia to Bosnia and Herzegovina Damijan Sedar by Minja Šurlan Kovačević, Director of the Banjaluka Tourist Organization. Together with his wife and the Consul of Slovenia in Banjaluka, the ambassador had the opportunity to discover the city through one of its most authentic experiences – a ride on a traditional dajak boat along the Vrbas River.
The dajak boat ride gave the guests an opportunity to experience the spirit of Banjaluka on the river that is one of the city’s most recognisable symbols.
Alongside the beauty of the Vrbas, the guests were introduced to Banjaluka’s rich tourism offer, traditions and authentic experiences that make the city a unique destination.

The dajak boat is one of Banjaluka’s distinctive symbols and an important part of the city’s intangible cultural heritage. A ride on this traditional boat allows visitors to experience the city’s nature, traditions and character in a truly special way.
The Slovenian ambassador was particularly impressed by the hospitality, the natural beauty of the Vrbas and the authentic spirit of Banjaluka.
Tourism Brings People Together

In this way, Banjaluka continues to tell the story of a city on the Vrbas through memorable experiences – from nature and tradition to the warm hospitality that leaves a lasting impression on every visitor.
