A must visit place in Cazin. Nurija Pozderac was one of the most influential politicians before and during World War II who fought for the idea of creating Yugoslavia and resisted killing innocent people, especially Jews (some of them he had been hiding in this house). His ability to fight injustice and protect people made him one of few trustworthy people of Yugoslavia's famous president - Tito. They were good friends and many say that during one of his visits to Nurija in Cazin, he had said "I am Josip Broz, a metal worker, a Croat from Zagorje " revealing his identity for the very first time which was a big deal. It still is a big deal today because of numerous disagreements and conspiracies questioning his origin. Nurija Pozderac died in 1943. fighting for Yugoslavia in The battle of Sutjeska. His gravestone rests at this unfortunate place where he lost his life. His house is declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
