With the cease-fire in the Mostar area, civilians and particularly teenagers can freely spend an afternoon on the Neretva riverbank that runs through the center of town. This lone man uses the fallen bridge (due to the recent civil war) as an impromptu beach in the center of Mostar. In accordance with the Dayton Accords, under which Operation JOINT ENDEAVOR (the multi-national peace mission in Bosnia) functions, the provision of a secure environment is at the heart of the reconstruction effort in Bosnia
