English	Bosnia and Herzegovina - Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country on the Balkan peninsula of southern Europe with an area of 51,129 km² (19,741 square miles), making it the 127th largest country by area, and an estimated population of around four million people. It borders to ► Serbia, ► Croatia and ► Montenegro. The country is a home to three ethnic "constituent peoples": Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats. Regardless of ethnicity, a citizen of Bosnia and Herzegovina is often identified in English as a Bosnian. In Bosnia, the pan-ethnic distinction between a Bosnian and a Herzegovinian is maintained. The country is decentralized and is administratively divided into two "entities", the ► Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the ► Republika Srpska (Serbian Republic). The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is primarily inhabited by Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats, which is why it is informally referred to as the Bosniak-Croat Federation.
