Mostar

 |
| Mostar: the town centre has been wrecked by intense fighting between all factions. Some parts are being restored. | The old bridge (which gives Mostar its name) is being slowly restored. As many of the original stones as possible have been raised from the river bed, and are being sorted for reuse. The project appears to be stalled for lack of funding. |

Photo mo-21: Close up of typical ground around Mostar: the soil is stony with limestone chips and larger rocks buried just below the surface. |
Photo mo-22: Nearby terrain which is mined (no markings). Clumps of vegetation grow in former fields. Mined areas extend to the hills beyond. |
