Since the end of the Yugoslavia war in 1995 and the destruction of the Old bridge symbolically connecting East and West, it is a fresh start for Mostar. The Old bridge, the old ottoman city and its vicinity are inscribed onto the UNESCO World Heritage list. Mostar has also been promoted as a culturel and tourist destination. Despite the poor quality of post war reconstructions, friendly people and lovely Neretva riverbanks make Mostar a warming holidays vacation place to visit.
