⭐ Core Definition: Arslanagić Bridge

Arslanagić Bridge (Serbo-Croatian: Arslanagića ćuprija, Serbian Cyrillic: Арсланагића ћуприја; Turkish: Arslanağa Köprüsü), is a bridge in the municipality of Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and since 25 January 2006 a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

During the Bosnian War, the bridge was renamed Perović Bridge (Serbo-Croatian: Perovića most). An explanation for this was to divert attention from its name the Bosniak Muslim family surname Arslanagić, which could provoke Serb nationalists to demolish it.
