The term Dinaric comes from the name of a mountain called Dinara, on the border of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Located in inland Dalmatia, north from the town of Vrlika, on the route between towns of Knin and Vrlika, Civljane village spread on 17.80 km2, on the field near the spring of river Cetina, on altitude of approximate 400 m, just under south base of mountain Dinara.
Harvey, a timid provincial young mans, accommodate a troop of Georgian choristers accompanied by Dinara, their interpreter (a quarter Russian: “my father is Tatar, my mother is half Russian, half Jewish”), and acts as their guide in Paris.
Parts of the Dinaric Alps, including Dinara itself, form the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina while the Kozjak, Mosor and Biokovo mountains separate the coastal strip from the hinterland.
