A small editorial bench, one person on the byline, public source and public licences underneath.

Editor & author

Nedim Hadzimahmutovic — one person on one byline. Every source credited, every photograph attributed, every fact checked against the original.

Display type

Fraunces — variable serif by Phaedra Charles & Undercase Type. Optical sizing 9 → 144, weights 300–700. Used for headlines, ledes, quotable copy.

Body type

Inter — humanist sans by Rasmus Andersson. Weights 400, 500, 600. Used for body copy, microcopy, kickers, navigation.

Print companion

The PDF booklets are set in Pagella (serif) and Heros (sans) — close cousins of Fraunces / Inter, chosen so the print companion reads with the same voice as the website.

Edition

2026 · Series I. The site began in 2025 and is maintained continuously. Last build: 15 October 2026.

Editorial methodology

Every factual claim is checked against primary sources: academic dissertations, peer-reviewed journal articles, census records, and operator websites (zicara.ba, zfbh.ba, sarajevo-airport.ba). When the site paraphrases or quotes from another writer’s work, the writer is named and the original source is linked. A “Sources” block appears at the bottom of any page that draws materially on outside reporting.

Corrections

Spotted an error? Email h.nedim@gmail.com with the page URL and what looks wrong. Corrections are made within 48 hours and noted in the page’s update timestamp. The site does not silently edit published claims — when a fact changes, the correction is visible.

Update cadence

Venue pages (hours, prices, seasonal info) are verified every six months. Historical and architectural content is reviewed every twelve months. Prices in BAM are re-checked on every edit. A page’s last_updated date reflects the most recent verification, not a cosmetic refresh.

Photography policy

Only photographs with a verifiable licence are published: CC-licensed from Wikimedia Commons, Unsplash, Flickr CC, Pixabay, or museum public-domain releases. Venue-supplied photographs are used only with written permission, documented internally. Every photograph is credited with the photographer’s name, source, and licence. No uncredited image appears on the site.
