od Peruna do Everesta

Stećci (singular: Stećak), are monumental medieval tombstones that lie scattered across the landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are the country’s most legendary symbol. These are the tombstones of those who lived between the 11th and 15th centuries and refused to swear allegiance to any kingdom but their own or to be swayed by any influence. Instead they stayed true to themselves and to what they could find only within themselves and in Bosnia.
Stećci are gruped in what is known as Nekropola which is a graveyard, and almost all of the Nekropola (graveyards) are located on hills overlooking the surrounding country-side where those who truly loved this country with their hearts and souls trace their roots.
Today there are about 69 356 known Stećci in existence found at 3162 locations.
Here is excerpt from one of them:

Ti, koji pročitaš moj kam, možda si hodio do zvijezda.
I vratio se, jer tami neima ništa, do ponovo ti sam.
Človjek mojže vidjeti ono tšto nije vidio, tčuti ono tšto nije tčuo,
okusti ono tšto nije otkusio, bit tami gdji nije bio,
al` uvijek i svagdi samo sebe može najti, ili ne najti.
I mnogo ot moje ruke na zemji bi,
a ni ot mene niko ne bi mrtav i ubit.
I da ostavih kosti u tujini, i tad bih samo Bosnu sanjo.
Človječe, tako da niesi proklet, ne tikaj u me.
Legoh 1094 ljeta, kad bješe suša,
pa u nebu ne bješe ni jedne suze za me.
