Old Bridge, "Stari Most" in the Old Town Mostar, was destroyed in the 1990s conflict. The Bridge was recently rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.
