In This Episode.

In this episode I talk to Nebojša Ruzicic from The Banja Luka Dajak Club, and take a Deep Dive into an aspect of the rich cultural heritage of Banja Luka, the second city in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Nebojša is an expert on the traditional Dajak boats, a unique watercraft used by the people of Banja Luka for centuries. We'll be discussing the history of the Dajak, I get a unique chance to see where the Dajaks are made and how they are built, plus anecdotes galore.

So join me for a fascinating conversation about preserving traditional crafts and activities in the region, which ,sadly, are under threat.
