I've been in the region a few times, and spent a magical 3 weeks in Sarajevo 
around New Year's Eve 2004, it's a cool, cultural, unbelievably soulful 
city, so I was excited that, given the 'Balkans' setting and WWI timeframe, 
there'd surely be a Sarajevo scene in ATD, but all we really got was "they 
wore Fezzes"!  The 'lost in the mountains' scenes were ok but could have 
been set anywhere....
