Herzegovinan

The Standard publishes advices from the capital of Dalmatia, which represent that Panslavic emissaries have spread the report among the Herzegovinans that the Turks intended to extirpate the Christians.

Although still in Austria, [Mićo] Ljubibratic felt thoroughly at home here, because the people were of the same race, religion, and sentiment as the ignorant and oppressed Herzegovinans over the border.

The most widespread complaint is that [Franjo] Tudjman’s policies in Bosnia, counter to public opinion, are dictated by a cadre of hard-line Herzegovinans within the government, including Defense Minister Gojko Susak.

“[…] And strangers,”—said our gnide, Tomo, with a half-disdainful inflection upon the word,—“strangers cannot pick their way among the Herzegovinan rocks after nightfall.”
