Bosnia-Herzegovina

The genocide in Bosnia primarily occurred during the Bosnian War from 1992 to 1995, driven by ethnic tensions between Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims), Croats, and Serbs. The most notorious instance was the Srebrenica massacre in July 1995, where over 8,000 Bosniak men and boys were killed by Bosnian Serb forces. The campaign included systematic killings, mass rapes, and forced displacement, aimed at creating ethnically homogeneous territories. The international community's delayed response and failure to intervene effectively contributed to the scale of the atrocities.

The currency used in Bosnia and Herzegovina is called the Bosnian Convertible Mark, or BAM for short. It's been the official currency since 1998, so if you're planning a trip there, make sure you've got some BAM in your wallet. Just remember, it's not like monopoly money, so don't go spending it all in one place!

Yes, Bosnia signed the Agenda 21 document at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992. Agenda 21 is a non-binding action plan to promote sustainable development globally.

No, Austria is northwest of Bosnia.

No, Bosnia does not possess nuclear weapons. The country is a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and does not have any known or declared nuclear weapons program.

The average household income in Bosnia and Herzegovina is around $800-$900 per month. However, this can vary depending on the region and urban/rural divide.

Two magazines that feature Bosnia are "BH Dani" and "Sarajevo Times." BH Dani is a weekly magazine based in Bosnia and Herzegovina that covers various topics, including current affairs, culture, and society. Sarajevo Times is an online English-language magazine that provides news and information about Bosnia and Herzegovina.

NATO countries intervened in Bosnia to reach a peace agreement, but the global community failed to respond to genocide in Rwanda.

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.

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.
