City of Bijeljina

Bijeljina is an administrative center in the Semberija region situated between two major rivers. The city spreads across fertile land that extends toward the Majevica mountains.

The city first appears in written records during the 15th century and later came under Ottoman rule. It then shifted between different powers over the following centuries.

The Filip Višnjić Library shapes cultural life in the region and reflects how much the community values learning and knowledge. It draws readers from across Semberija who come to explore its extensive collection.

The central bus station connects the city to many regional destinations and places across Europe. Travelers can find regular service routes heading in multiple directions.

A thermal spa was discovered here by accident in the 1950s when workers were drilling for oil. Warm water unexpectedly flowed from the ground and is now enjoyed by visitors.
