Country Details
Bosnia was ruled by numerous forces over the centuries, finally declaring its independence from the former Yugoslavia in February of 1992.
Shortly thereafter, ethnic fighting in the western Balkans resulted in the destruction of many of its historic cities and landmarks, and the tragic death of thousands of its citizens.
Bosnia and Herzegovina (is today) the union of two factions; the Muslim-Croat federation and the Bosnian Serb republic.
Agriculture, mining and timber are important economic contributors, and the once vibrant tourism industry is slowly recovering.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
