Mostar is a city on the Neretva river in the south-west of Bosnia and Herzegovina with a population of around 106,000. (This figure is lower than formerly as a result of the population movements caused by the Bosnian War).
Mostar was established in the late 15th century as the regional administrative centre of the Ottoman Empire. The city takes its name from the Stari Most (Old Bridge) and towers (mostari – ‘the bridge keepers’).
The Austro-Hungarian Empire conquered Mostar in 1878 and then it became part of Yugoslavia after World War I..
After World War II, Mostar specialised in aluminium, tobacco, wine products.
During the Bosnian War, on November 9, 1993 the city’s most famous monument , the Stari Most (1566), was destroyed.
