I sat up late, it was around 01:13 local time. Since one has heard the rumbling mountain-like attack (We will often be called Rock bursts are a percent of the mining environment) then rumble with lighter swing, all lasted about 10 seconds

No, I  was just scared by that awful rumbling. But other people who live in upper floors were frightened and many went out of their flats.

it was  fucking  scareeeeed

Witness location : Maglaj (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (42 km N from epicenter)

I felt it for a bit longer time, maybe one minute before the main shake happened. I was holding my legs on a loose part of my table. I felt like my legs were shaking, i thought that i felt it because of the lack of sleep. So i stood up drink some water and after i sat down again everything started to shake much harder.

Witness location : Donji Vakuf (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (42 km W from epicenter)

We are not used to earthquakes , and it was really unpleasant , after the first quake came the second , and he was not strong as the first one.

Witness location : Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (46 km SE from epicenter)

Lasted quite long, not sure how much exactly but over 30 sec for sure.

Witness location : Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (46 km SE from epicenter)

No, but I hope there won't be any more earthquakes :)

Witness location : Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (46 km SE from epicenter)

Osjetilo se podrhtavanje tla, trajalo je nekih 5-10 sekundi. Ptice su se čule sa drveća.

We felt the ground shake lasted some 5-10 seconds. Birds could be heard from the trees.

I heard from friends that in Zenica was a lot stronger, I even saw a photo where you can see the sanded brick building.

Witness location : Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (71 km NE from epicenter)

It definitely shaked my ass out of the chair :)
Though no damage.

Witness location : Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (71 km NE from epicenter)

Swaying motion, not violent, lasted for about 5 seconds or longer (subjective estimate). Didn't notice immediately because there's the railroad track right (railroad station entrance) behind the building and the building shakes when the trains pass by, but this time i felt completely different and more powerful motion (bigger amplitude and different lower frequency).

Witness location : Srebrenik (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (78 km NE from epicenter)

all alarms in about 50 stores that surouds my home ringed at the same time why it shaked :(

Witness location : Oriovac (Croatia) (109 km NW from epicenter)

I was on the second floor of the house when I felt it. But I didn't felt the aftershock wave.

Witness location : Prijedor (Bosnia and Herzegovina) (130 km NW from epicenter)

osjetio se i u Prijedoru, u početku su svi ukućani pomislili da je zemljotres pogodio Banja Luku, tek smo sutra čuli na vijestima da je epicentar bio kod Zenice...noć je bila  pomalo zastrašujuća,sparina  i vrućina;te bojazan da će se zemljotres ponoviti itd..

Witness location : Vinkovci (Croatia) (141 km NE from epicenter)

Oko 01:14, prema satu na mom kompjuteru, dana 28.07.2012., ( odnosno maloprije ) osjetio sam bome neugodno drmanje stolice na kojoj sam sjedio, LCD televizora na komodi i radnog stola i kompjutera koji se nalazio na njemu.
Bilo mi je čudno, što je jako kratko trajalo, možda dvije sekunde, a onako intenzivno.

Witness location : Belgrade (Serbia) (214 km E from epicenter)

I'm 200km from the epi, and i come over here to see where he was, because I feel him nicely rolling up and down, but slowly ..

Witness location : Niš (Serbia) (334 km E from epicenter)

Osetilo se i u Nisu. Ljuljalo je probudilo i mene i bebu.. na sedmom smo spratu. I've felt it too, it woke me and my baby we were sliping on 7th floor.
