Bosnia and Herzegovina is located in southeastern Europe, within the Balkan region. It borders Croatia to the north, west, and southwest, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast. The country also has a very short coastline along the Adriatic Sea, centered around the town of Neum. Its total area is approximately 51,200 square kilometers, placing it among the medium-sized countries of the Balkans.
The country has a well-developed river network, mainly divided between the Danube basin and the Adriatic Sea basin. The Sava River is the most important waterway and forms much of the northern border. Other significant rivers include the Bosna, which gives the country its name, the Drina, marking part of the border with Serbia, the Una, and the Neretva, the latter flowing southward into the Adriatic Sea. These rivers have historically supported settlement, agriculture, and economic activity.
Bosnia and Herzegovina’s geography is predominantly mountainous, shaped largely by the Dinaric Alps, with numerous valleys, plateaus, and rugged terrain. The central and southern regions are characterized by steep landscapes, while the northern areas include lower, more fertile lands that form part of the Pannonian Plain. The climate is mainly continental, with Mediterranean influences in the south, contributing to the country’s environmental diversity.
Administratively and politically, Bosnia and Herzegovina is divided into two entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, along with the Brčko District, which has a special administrative status. This complex structure was established by the Dayton Peace Agreement. The country has a population of approximately 3.2 million people, with major urban centers including Sarajevo, Banja Luka, and Mostar, within a broader context of ongoing demographic and economic challenges.
