UN Building
Between the coastal town of Zadar in Croatia and the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina are the Plitvice Lakes and the Dinaric Alps.
Zadar suffered badly in the break-up of former Yugoslavia. The city was shelled by Serbian forces from 1991 to 1993, cutting the city off from both Zagreb and the surrounding region. In January 1992 a UN-brokered cease-fire came into effect and in April UN Protection forces (UNPROFOR) were stationed in the areas under Croatian Serb control. Much was destroyed and the city's safety remained precarious until the Dayton Accords ended the Yugoslav war in 1995.
This UN Building is situated high in the hills along the main road to Zadar.
