Welcome to BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA

Information about BOSNIA HERZEGOVINA Bosnia & Herzigovina (BiH) is a country determined to emerge from the shadow of its recent history. Ironically, it was centuries of culturally diversity that melted BiH into one of the most fascinating, interesting, and beautiful countries in Europe. Sandwiched between Croatia and Serbia, it's been a zone of contention since Occident and Orient first began arm-wrestling for it. It's been through Christian, Muslim and Orthodox hands; for a while its people seemed to enjoy their multi-cultural milieu and the Bosnian people have maintained their incredibly friendliness toward visitors. Its most special aspect is nature and the rich towns and cities that have been erected in these pristine places. One cannot separate the culture and traditions of its people from the natural environment. The locals will tell you that Mother Nature cut no corners when creating their land. Bosnia and Hercegovina's ample forests, streams and mountains provide the potential for some serious outdoor adventuring and the simple delights of the country are tailored to human’s most basic needs and joys. BiH has a large rural population and the main industry is agriculture. But Bosnia and Herzegovina is representative of the many countries posed with the challenge of eco-friendly development in times of transition. Rich in natural resources and beauty, BiH is striving to find responsible means of promoting and protecting its vast natural wealth in order to preserve these invaluable gems of our environment and cultural history.
