The mid-1990s weren't kind to Bosnia-Herzegovina: War. Destruction. Genocide. But apart
from the tragic way it separated from Yugoslavia, the country has long been—and re-
mains—a remarkable place, with ruggedly beautiful terrain, a unique mix of cultures and
faiths, kind and welcoming people who pride themselves on their hospitality, and some of
the most captivating sightseeing in southeastern Europe.
Little Bosnia-Herzegovina isacountrywiththreefaiths,threelanguages,andtwoalpha-
bets. While the rest of Yugoslavia has splintered into countries dominated by one ethnicity,
Bosnia remains an uneasy mix of scattered communities, with large contingents of all three
major Yugoslav groups: Muslim Bosniaks, Eastern Orthodox Serbs, and Catholic Croats.
These same three factions fought each other in that brutal war just two decades ago, and
today they're struggling to reconcile, work together, and put the country back on track.
