The Heart Shaped Land

Bosnia and Herzegovina is the heart shaped land that lies in the heart of southeast Europe. It is were the eastern and western civilizations met, sometimes clashed, but more often enriched and reinforced each other throughout its long and fascinating history.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a long name for a country that measures just over 50,000 sq km. Bosnia covers the north and centre of the country with its name probably derived from ‘bosana’, an old Indo-European word meaning water, which Bosnia has no short of.

The southern region of ancient Hum, was later named Herzegovina.
