		Through full utilization of the natural potential of the Drina and Moraca rivers it is possible to produce 7 thousand billion kilowatt-hours in 500 years, which is equivalent to all coal reserves in the former Yugoslavia.

	The Bridge on the Drina (Ivo Andric) - book review
		In the second half of the 16th century a Turkish Grand Vizir had a bridge built over the river Drina at Vishegrad, in what is now eastern Bosnia; in 1914, during the First World War, it was destroyed by the retreating Austrians.
		The Bridge on the Drina is a novel -- or more accurately, perhaps, a cross between a novel and a series of short stories -- woven around the unifying subject of that bridge.
		While much is made of the contrast between the enduring stone of the bridge and the ephemeral lives of the people who lived by it, what Andriç offers is something more unusual -- insight into both the continuities and the changes in human culture over a span of centuries.

		It was the Drina river--which flows through Foca, Visegrad, Goradze, Zepa, and Slap on Zepa in the Podrinje region--that brought the first signs of the massacre in Visegrad to the neighboring villages.
		While Tabakovic and his burial team were doing their best to deal with the fallout from the massacre floating down the river, the Bosniak Muslim residents of Visegrad were fleeing for their lives or paying with them.
