Zvornik is a highly significant, historically rich city located in the eastern part of Republika Srpska, stretching picturesquely along the banks of the Drina River and forming a direct border with Serbia. The city's profound historical heritage is perfectly represented by the mighty Zvornik Fortress (Kula Grad), which towers high above the valley and proudly protected the vital trade route along the Drina for centuries. In the modern era, Zvornik has rapidly developed into an absolute industrial powerhouse. The gigantic hydroelectric power plant located on Zvornik Lake plays a highly decisive role in the nation's energy supply, while the massive alumina factory (Alumina) stands as the largest employer and the absolute economic backbone of the entire region. The powerful combination of massive heavy industry, deep strategic history, and the beautiful, fish-rich river landscape gives Zvornik a remarkably dynamic and unique character.
