Hi everyone,
I was in TOBL, and met with Zoran Sankovic(Senior expert associate Tourist board of Banja Luka).
He was surprised when I came, because he was told by the DIVA that they do not have money for the Day trip.I explained him the situation, that the most of Debian people wants to go to  the Day trip, etc.

I presented him all your questions:
- Are they offering to pay for this, or only to arrange it with us paying?    Answer: TOBL can organize a trip but will not pay
- Are they offering buses?  (If we have to pay, what are the costs?)       Answer: Will send me a price later (by mail)
- Are they offering lunch?  (If we have to pay, what are the costs?)        Answer: Will send me a price later (by mail) 
...etc

The only thing that is impossible is for buses to wait in front of the Hotel Bosna. Buses would wait at the old bus station (located 200m from the Hotel Bosna)

It is also inconvenient to arrange a Day trip, because little time is left. But he will try. He will send me e-mail with prices and I will  forward it to you, as soon as I get them.

Here are details for our previous contact at the Tourist Board.  He
probably knows about this, and if not, he is very friendly and
helpful.  As he is nice, it would be fine to explain that there is
confusion due to DIVA etc., if necessary!  He met Holger and me when
we visited.
