You can use google map geographically or read following article:
Bosnia and Herzegovina, also known as the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is a country on the Balkan peninsula of Southern Europe with an area of 51,129 km² (19,741 square miles) and an estimated population of around 4 million people. It is known in the country's official languages as Bosna i Hercegovina (Latin alphabet) or ÐоÑна и ХеÑÑеговина (Cyrillic alphabet), although the name is commonly abbreviated to Bosnia, BIH, BiH, ÐиХ or ÐÐÐ¥.
The country is 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.
Bordered by Croatia to the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the south, Bosnia and Herzegovina is landlocked, except for 20 km of the Adriatic Sea coastline,[1][2] centered around the town of Neum. The interior of the country is mountainous in the center and south, hilly in the northwest, and flat in the northeast. The nation's capital and largest city is Sarajevo, seated between several high mountains. Due to its geographical location, Sarajevo was chosen to host the 1984 Winter Olympic Games.
The region of Bosnia is the largest geographic region of the modern state with moderate continental climate, marked by hot summers and cold, snowy winters. Smaller Herzegovina is the southern tip of the country, with Mediterranean climate and topography. Bosnia and Herzegovina's natural resources are abundant.
Formerly one of the six federal units constituting the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina gained its independence during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. As a result of the Dayton Accords, the civilian peace implementation is supervised by the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina selected by the Peace Implementation Council. The High Representative has many governmental and legislative powers, including the dismissal of elected and non-elected officials. More recently, the country established many central institutions (such as ministry of defense, state court, etc.) in the process of taking-over part of jurisdiction of its entities with the goal of increasing self-governance. The closure of the Office of the High Representative is set for June 2007.
