Ćakić Estate, Bukovica
ꒌ ЋАКИЋИ, БУКОВИЦА, где вријеме тече неким својим брзинама, и сваки секунд дубље је укопан у кршно тле а минут се теже помјера, ивице безизлаза чине се ближе а хоризонти несталнији; да на крају дана стране свијета и трајање на камену сведу рачуне много веће него другдје а ноћ се од следећег свитања раздијели као од године.
► █░▓ ONE OF MY HEROES among the few people living in Bukovica is Boris, almost alone and isolated in the remote hamlet of Ćakići. His exceptional life story resulted in a life and work of a shepherd's. He is taking care of a few dozen of sheep, and some other livestock. This is his estate. For a sharp profiled intellectual with high education level and developed social skills, it is a both demanding and sacrificing mission; not to speak of some pronounced physical limitations he has to deal with.
Not far away from the lush Adriatic coast thriving with tourism, this backcountry is oddly one of the most desolate places in Croatia after they have expelled the complete Serb population from the region in early August 1995, now exactly 28 years ago. Like most other parts of Europe, Croatia has been facing a serious demographic problem lately.
