Mamula (or Lastavica) is an islet in the Adriatic Sea, in southwestern Montenegrin municipality of Herceg Novi.

Mamula is strategically located between Prevlaka and Luštica peninsulas on the entrance to the Boka Kotorska bay. This small islet is of circular shape, and is 200m in diameter. It is 3.4 nautical miles (6.3 km) away from Herceg Novi.

There is a fort on the island, built by Austro-Hungarian General Lazar Mamula in the mid-19th century. During World War II, the fort was used as a prison by Italians from 30th May 1942 onwards. The prison was known for torture and cruelty to the prisoners.

While the fort has deteriorated the island is still visited by boats, mainly from Herceg Novi, and is a popular one-day trip destination. The island beaches are very pleasant.

Safet Isović (6 January 1936 - 2 September 2007) was a prominent and popular sevdah performer from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Throughout his career, which started in 1956, Isović performed at music festivals and won many of them which has contributed to the prevalence and popularity of the sevdalinka. He won the Golden Microphone award in SFR Yugoslavia as well as 35 silver and gold record awards.

Isović was also a SDA delegate in the Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He died on 2 September 2007 and was buried the next day at Ali Pasha's Mosque. At a memorial service held at the National Theatre of Bosnia and Herzegovina he was called the Father of Sevdalinka by Beba Selimović. The Minister of Culture and Sport, Emir Hadžihafizbegović said that Safet Isović did great deeds both when he spoke and when he sang. Ivica Šarić, of the Sarajevo Opera, said that the world was left now without the best interpreter of sevdalinka. Many would agree that he had one of the best voices in Yugoslavia.
