Few people know the landscapes of Republika Srpska from as many different angles as Vanja Mišić does. A singer and journalist from Banja Luka, she has spent years crossing terrain most tourists never think to put on their map - from festival grounds deep inside national parks to villages where the only public building used to be a school and is now a visitor center.

More than 2,000 years ago, according to legend, a weary Roman soldier, after countless battles, came upon an emerald river and, struck by its beauty, exclaimed: “Una!” One, the only one, the most beautiful among rivers. To this day, the Una carries that unique name.
