Every town just as Mostar has it's own recognizable buildings, monuments and other objects and thanks to them it's famous all over the world. But Mostar has something different what other towns doesn't have, and those are people who make s Mostar unique and characteristic.

Without them Mostar wouldn't be what it is. Those people are maybe bit exocentric and weird but that's what makes them special. 

They don't care for anyone and they aren't worried for anything and they are just living the own life. To describe them better I divided them into two separate groups: Juniors and seniors. Because of their working status at the streets the seniors are quite more popular and better known, and that's why I will start with them:

SENIORS

Aco the Biker forever loved in bicycles and in speed drive. This man is quite old but he's still in good shape because each day he is passing for few kilometers. And even when it is snowing or raining he doesn't give up. 

The most of the kilometers he's passing with the bicycle driving near by himself because his bicycle is to precious for him to drive it all time. Few years ago someone made a bad joke with him and stole him a bike. I think he was the saddest man in the world but group of humanitarians helped him and they had given him a new bike. Aco was back on the track and he continues his ride of the life, and he continues to dream about participating the Giro d'Italia.
Meho Jager "Rock'n'Roll is my life" this sentence describes Meho and his life. Rocker to t he grave and even further is planning to get married (lucky one). Meho legend of Mostar lived with this town through the happiness and sadness. He's the only man who lost box match on penalties, "punch I, and punch him".
Vaha the Velež fan is the greatest fan of our football club no matter does it win or lose. He has always been for Velez and believed in its future. He knows all team standings and scores in past 20 years. I don't have to go to match to find out who and when scored.

JUNIORS

Claw "the Gangster" has always ready for fight or some kind of mess. He's characteristic for his lovely voice, which is unbelievably deep and scary. He's always a target of the mocking of other children. Because he's just 16 or 17 years old he wasn't able to take a part in some great and legendary events in Mostar.
Clay the King is the guy who doesn't speak too much and even when he does nobody understands him so it turns up it is better not to talk anything. Few sounds he makes are mixture of sounds of Neanderthal man and a cat, but no matter what he's still the best interpreter of sound of a car. But he's making some money throwing the garbage from the cafes (anything is better than nothing).

Asim "the Singer" is quite normal comparing him with other "juniors". He's the only one who isn't crazy just nobody understands him. He lives in his own world and he just sings and dance and he doesn't have regard to anybody. Maybe he's just little bit too boring and that's why he's not the favorite person among the company.

Mostar is the town, which gives enough space for anyone to show his skills. These people used their skills and the opportunity they had. Can you imagine life of the town without them? Simply impossible. Fortunately world remains on young and we have some of them to replace the "seniors". And Mostar will be just as always the town of happiness and own of sun.
