    More about Bosnia and Herzegovina  
    Description:
    Bosni and Herzegovina is a Balkan country that was formerly part of Yugoslavia. It borders Croatia to the north, west and southwest, Serbia to the east and Montenegro to the southeast. Mostly mountainous, it has access to a tiny portion of the Adriatic Sea coastline in the south. Within Bosnia and Herzegovina's internationally recognized borders, the country is divided into the Federation of Bosnia and Hercegovina with a Muslim/Croat majority population (about 51% of the territory) and the Republika Srpska / Serb Republic or RS with a Serb majority population (about 49% of the territory); the region called Herzegovina is contiguous to Montenegro and Croatia and Serbia, and traditionally has been settled by an ethnic Croat majority in the west and an ethnic Serb majority in the east.
