| Bosnia and Herzegowina (BiH) is a small country. Its area covers only about 50.000 square kilometers, but compared to that figure, it has even too many beautiful landscapes, mountains, clean rivers, canyons and 30 km of the Adriatic coast. Bosnia has cities which, despite of the recent heavy war destruction, still have numerous, exceptional cultural, historical and religious monuments to witness not only the beauty of the region, but also the multicultural and multireligious tradition of this part of Europe. Bosnia and Herzegovina's declaration of sovereignity in 1991, was followed by a declaration of independence from the former Yugoslavia. The Bosnian Serbs - supported by Serbia and Montenegro - responded with armed resistance. The Dayton Agreement retained Bosnia and Herzegovina's international boundaries and created a joint multi-ethnic and democratic government. |
