BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

Also known as the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a country on the Balkan peninsula of southern Europe with an area of 51,129 km² (19,741 square miles) and an estimated population of around 4 million people. It is known in the country's official languages as Bosna i Hercegovina (Latin alphabet) or (Cyrillic alphabet).
The country is a home to three ethnic "constituent peoples": Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. Regardless of ethnicity, a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina is often identified in English as a Bosnian. In Bosnia, the pan-ethnic distinction between a Bosnian and a Herzegovinian is maintained. The country is decentralized and is administratively divided into two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska.
The region of Bosnia is the largest geographic region of the modern state with moderate continental climate, marked by hot summers and cold, snowy winters. Smaller Herzegovina is the southern tip of the country, with Mediterranean climate and topography. Bosnia and Herzegovina's natural resources are abundant.
