War Relic and Bullet Souvenir Sellers at Baščaršija

Vendors in and around Baščaršija bazaar sell objects presented as genuine wartime artefacts — spent shell casings, military badges, and replica bullet jewellery — at prices implying historical authenticity. Many items are mass-produced replicas imported from outside Bosnia. More seriously, some sellers offer deactivated grenades or other military ordnance as decorative items; exporting such objects across EU borders can result in serious legal penalties.
