More than a decade after Bosnia-Hercegovina was only heard of in international news as a conflict area, this 'most easterly point of the west and the most westerly point of the east' is now trying to get itself back on the world's travel maps.
Travel Warning: Landmines
Travellers are advised to exercise caution when venturing into remote or mountainous areas of Bosnia due to the ongoing threat of landmines. All highly populated areas and major transport routes are clear of mines but in more isolated regions mines may still be present, especially close to roads. Travellers should respect any local advice regarding safety when venturing into these areas.
