Bosnia and Herzegovina borders Serbia to the east, Montenegro to the southeast, and Croatia to the north and southwest. In the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea within the Mediterranean, which is about 20 kilometers long and surrounds the town of Neum. Sarajevo is the capital and the largest city of the country. Population is about 3.3 million. The country is home to three main ethnic groups, designated “constituent peoples” in the country’s constitution. The Bosniaks are the largest group of the three, the Serbs are the second-largest, and the Croats are the third-largest. Minorities, who under the constitution are categorized as “others”, include Jews, Roma, Albanians, Montenegrins, Ukrainians and Turks.
Bosnia, which is the inland region of the country, has a moderate continental climate with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. In the central and eastern regions of the country, the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and in the northeast it is predominantly flat.
Herzegovina, which is the smaller, southern region of the country, has a Mediterranean climate and is mostly mountainous. The highest point of the country is the peak of Maglić at 2,386 meters, on the Montenegrin border.
I visited Bosnia-Hercegovina on a tour in March-April 2023. (See the full movie here).
