Poštovani prijatelji, u nekoliko prethodnih postova prikazao sam vam moj CD koji sam priredio 2006. godine. On sadrži 2020 fotografija Broda i okoline. Njime sam želio fotografski prikazati stanje u tadašnjem Bosanskom Brodu. Ovo je grad koji je preživio mnogo toga u posljednjih 20 godina i to se na njemu i njegovim stanovnicima vidjelo tada, a vidi se i danas. Moja intencija je da mijenjamo ovo stanje, naravno na bolje.

INTRODUCTION

The idea of arranging a CD like this one was born two or three years ago. Since then, I slowly started taking photos of modern Brod more intensively. Setting out to make rounds of the township all through, watching our settlements, I was wondering, if it was possible, was it really our reality even some 14 years after the greatest devastation of this community in its history?! I was amazed how neglected and forgotten we were by the governments of Republic of Srpska, by the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, I was wondering if international organizations that were working in this area could do anything else to heal wounds on souls of these people, could they do something more with building of what had been destructed?! I was also wondering, so as many other townsmen of Brod, if it was our fault? A town and community near Middle Europe, few hours of driving to Vienna, Budapest, Prague…

As I said, I was starting to obtain the photo material in the beginning of 2004.

However, while I was arranging the material, meanwhile, our town changed its name a few times, so I have finally decided to give this CD the name which it has. That repeated change in this town’s name implies that Bosanski Brod nowadays, also confirms its controversy, the controversy of its geo-political site and existence in the middle and context of wider events in this area. I deeply believe that our townsmen “had enough”, I believe they want to turn to peace, work and life, with all their powers, and I believe Brod will slowly and finally sail into more peaceful waters, turn to itself and to the world and bring the world to itself.

After I had asked Mrs.Gordana Ceric, the secretary of the assembly of Bosanski Brod, to explain the sequence of events about changing the town and township’s name to me, I was given the following explanations: according to the law of territorial organization and local political self-management of Republic of Srpska (Sl.glasnik RS broj 11/94, 6/95, 26/95, 15/96, 17/96 i 6/97) according to the article 11. the name Srpski Brod was consolidated. By the resolution of the Constitutional court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Sl.glasnik BiH broj 46/04) from 21.10.2004. it was established that the name Srpski Brod was no longer in effect, thus, until all disagreements have been removed, the new name Bosanski Brod was in use. It was followed by the law of teritorial organization of Republic of Srpska (Sl.glasnik RS broj 103/05 od 21.11.2005.) that established that the name Srpski Brod was exchanged with the word Brod. The next was the Resolution of the Constitutional court that established that the procedure of making and presenting the Laws of teritorial organization of Republic of Srpska was not in agreement with the Republic of Srpska constitution. When it is concluded that some act is not in agreement with the constitution, it stops to be valid by the day of proclamation in Sluzbeni glasnik. The Resolution mentioned was proclaimed in Sluzbeni glasnik No. 14/06 from 20.02.2006. Since the act was no longer valid, everything was reversed to the previous one, and that was the Resolution of the Constitutional court of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2004.

All photographs obtained were classified by the names of settlements (the town and populated villages). A part of of the set which shows demolished objects or extremely negative consequences of happenings, I placed in special folders under the name „No comment“. Taking photos was done with a digital camera FUJI fine pixel A350, SIEMENS CV 65 i C 75 mobile phone cameras, and one part of photos was borrowed from Internet sites about Brod, and also one part was given by gentlemen Sinisa Knezevic and Dusko Milicic what I am sincerely grateful for. I would also like to thank Branka and Milan Stjepanovic who , like myself, took a considerable number of photos.

I want also to thank especially for help of my dear associates Teodor Trifunovic, Goran Vukojevic, Nenad Precanica and Goran Ignjatic from Brod, so as to Mrs.Tatjana Dunovic from the National library and the University library of Republic of Srpska in Banja Luka, who helped me unselfishly!

This CD is without comments, without superflous words and moving pictures, silent, just a photographically correct representation of our reality which remains a document in which someone, in some future time, will see in how ambient we lived, but it would be good for us to pull out the moral from the nearest history, so as not to be run over by time in our grayness and dream just like that!!!
