Overview

Bosnia and Herzegovina

A small country in the Balkans, Bosnia and Herzegovina knows how to get talked about, although not always for the right reasons. The civil war between the Serbs, the Croats and the Muslims arose following the unilateral declaration of its independence in 1992. The conflict, which ended three years later, had various aftermaths. There are countless numbers of refugees and an enormous amount of infrastructure needs to be reconstructed. Despite their suffering, the people have smiles on their faces and they offer a convivial and warm greeting to visitors.

pros

  •  Despite the conflicts provoked by the survival of several religions on the same territory, the country has been enriched by very different cultures. Art and architecture bear witness to this.
  •  As long as sensitive subjects are not addressed, contact with the people of Bosnia is always warm and sociable.

cons

  •  The atrocities which still haunt people's memories and whose recall of them can be very disturbing.
  •  The infrastructure which has been destroyed, the presence of unknown landmines and all the consequences of a civil war of 'ethnic cleansing'.
