Bosnia and Herzegovina sometimes called Bosnia-Herzegovina, abbreviated BiH, and in short
often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe located on the Balkan Peninsula.
Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bordered by
Croatia to the north, west, and south;
Serbia to the east; Montenegro to the southeast; and the Adriatic Sea to the south.
Following the dissolution of
Yugoslavia, the country proclaimed independence in 1992,
which was followed by the Bosnian War, lasting until late 1995.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has a bicameral legislature and a three-member Presidency composed of a member of each major ethnic group.
However, the central government's power is highly limited, as the country is largely decentralized and comprises two autonomous entities:
the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, with a third region, the Brčko District, governed under local government.
The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is itself complex and consists of 10 federal units – cantons.
