Thanks. Count me in!

(I am assuming that it is quite likely that accommodation sponsorship
will be available for me, so I guess I can book before getting the
official confirmation.)

It should not make a great price difference to book from Okucani to have
the choice, although with some carriers your tickets is invalid if you
board later.

Or we could take a bus from Banja Luka to Zagreb with more clearance.


BTW, there is a bus going from Germany (Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Stuttgart –
I’m offline at the moment, so this is from memory. I think it also stops
in Munich) directly to Banja Luka. This might be an interesting option
for the way there, especially for the Karlsruhers – Phil, what do you
think? I don’t have any detail yet about price and comfort level,
though.


Greetings,
Joachim
