Torn to pieces by a fierce civil war, that has produced destructions (also the famous bridge of Mostar on the Neretva), dead, ethnic cleaning and hundreds of thousand of fugitive. Country constituted by the regions of Bosnia to north and of the south Erzegovina is currently divided in two well separate entities, every with a proper government: the Federation Croatian-Moslem and the Serb Republic.
The war is ended, but the situation is still serious; all it takes is thinking that the 75% of the active population are idle with all the relative economic and social consequences.
