EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking panoramic view of Dubrovnik, Croatia's UNESCO protected medieval town. Taken on August 28,2012, it showcases the enchanting beauty and historical significance of this remarkable destination. However, behind this picturesque scene lies a significant challenge faced by both tourists and truckers. Starting from July onwards, individuals traveling within Croatia will have to cross the external borders of the European Union twice within just a span of 20 kilometers. This means enduring long queues and strict customs checks that can be both time-consuming and expensive. In response to this issue, Croatia is hopeful that the EU will finance the construction of a bridge that bypasses Neum, ultimately unifying the country. Marko Djurica skillfully captured this photograph as a testament to not only Dubrovnik's allure but also its political complexities. The image serves as a reminder that even amidst stunning landscapes and cultural heritage sites like Dubrovnik, there are often hidden challenges faced by those who visit or reside in these places. Through his lens, Djurica invites us to appreciate not only the visual splendor but also delve into deeper conversations about politics and city space. This print serves as an invitation for reflection on how infrastructure projects can impact tourism experiences while highlighting Croatia's aspirations for unity within its borders.
