Kozara National Park, Republika Sprska
I don't have too many written and stamped postcards from Republika Sprska so this was a nice treat to receive, thank you Jasmin!

Banja Luka, Republika Sprska, Bosnia & Herzegovina
One more card for today.. This one is from a swap with Sonja in Republika Sprska.
Banja Luka is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the administrative capital of the Republika Srpska entity. Traditionally it has been the center of the Bosanska Krajina region, located in the north-western part of the country. It is home of the University of Banja Luka, as well as numerous state and entity institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city lies on the Vrbas river and is well-known in the countries of the Former Yugoslavia for being full of tree-lined avenues, boulevards, gardens, and parks. It has been estimated that today's population of the municipality of Banja Luka is about 250,000.
The stamps on this card are adorable! I've been looking at pictures of different stamps from Republika Sprska and there seems to be lots of very nice ones there. As for these, the ones on the left are from a set of 3 definitives issued in 2009, depicting animals (there's also a super cute squirrel stamp in this set!). The other two are from a set of 4 animal stamps issued last year. Gorgeous!

Novi Grad, Republika Srpska
One more card for today (I'd also like to write a letter and try catch up with penpalling a little bit...). This one is from a swap with Maja in Novi Grad, Republica Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Novi Grad (or Bosanski Novi) is a town and municipality in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina. The town is situated on the Una river on the border with Croatia (opposite the town of Dvor). Today, the municipality has a population of about 30,000 people. For some reason it reminds me quite a lot of small Finnish towns; it looks pretty similar (apart from the mosque, I don't think you could find those in Finland).
The stamp is from a set of 4 stamps issued in 2002, representing mushrooms of the Republic of Srpska. The mushroom here is Amanita caesarea.
