The Pannonian Lakes (Panonska jezera) are artificial salt lakes that are located in the center of the city of Tuzla. The complex consists of three lakes of different sizes and depths and saltwater waterfalls. Within the complex there is also the Neolithic settlement of Sojenica, sports fields and many other catering, cultural and entertainment facilities. These lakes are unique examples of salt lakes in Europe and have healing properties due to the content of salt and other minerals. The first lake was built in 2003, the second in 2009, and the third opened in 2012. A fourth lake is planned to be built. The complex has a total area of 75,000 m².

The Battle of Sutjeska (Bitka na Sutjesci) or "Operation Schwarz" was a joint attack by the Axis Powers that took place from May 15 to June 16, 1943, during the WWII, and aimed at destroying the main Yugoslav partisan force near the Sutjeska River in southeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the heavy losses suffered, the Battle of Sutjeska has been considered by Yugoslav historiography as one of the greatest victories in its history. It was also the last major joint German-Italian operation against the partisans.
