A humid morning crosses the border as the minivan hums toward Bosnia: olive-scrubbed hills give way to a narrow river gorge and, finally, the honey-colored stones of Mostar. You step onto the cobbled approach to Stari Most — the rebuilt 16th‑century Ottoman span — and the Neretva threads under the arch, daring you to lean closer and measure the current with your eyes.
