Coffee and Rakija.
A digital magazine about Bosnia and Herzegovina, by former soldier and retired media consultant, David Pejčinović-Bailey MBE.
What to Expect from Coffee and Rakija
I write about my life and experiences in a rural village in North-West Bosnia and Herzegovina, giving you a unique look, through the eyes of an immigrant (me), of this much misunderstood country.
I also have a Podcast, where I introduce you to some of the interesting people I have met, who help me to dispel the many negative perceptions that international media have created about country.
As I travel around exploring the rich culture and history, I also discuss the challenges and joys of immigrating to a new country.
