What types of foods are eaten in Bosnia?
Asked by Wiki User
They eat fish, pork and a lot of seafood. I will add some of the traditional dishes I ate in Croatia - čobanac, a veal stew, Riblju Corbu, a fish stew, Ćevapčići, ground meat shaped in fingers and grilled, Pljeskavica, a grilled meat patty served with fresh red onions and crusty bread (possibly some Ajvar), and peka, a meat dish baked over ashes/coals in an earthenware pot. Crni rizoto is a dish served along the Dalmatian coast made with the meat and ink of the cuttlefish. Blitva, or Swiss chard, is served almost everywhere in Croatia. Vegeta is a national seasoning treasure and can be used in nearly any savory dish.
Why is Bosnia not a member of the European Union?
Asked by Wiki User
The European Union is an organisation that countries apply to join. It is not a place and is not a continent. Bosnia is a European country, but is not yet a member of the European Union. Before it can become a member a lot of things have to be done for it to meet the conditions for membership. Bosnia wants to join but it will be a while before this happens.

How can Bosnia and Herzegovina best be described?
Asked by Wiki User
I am Bosnian. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a very beautiful country.
We had a war 15 -18 years ago it was a mess. I lost my grandpa. My mom had been forced to leave her home. I wonder how my grandpa would have been if those serbs didn't kill him . I hope that never happens to my beautiful country.
We have a lot of animals. We have waterfalls. We have horses that you can ride on. Cows that u can milk. Chickens that you get eggs from. Pools, schools, a national holiday, good food, and restaurants.
Sarajevo is the capital. It is a long trip if you're in the USA, but it's worth it
