Bosnia and Herzegovina (officially Bosna i Hercegovina,
shortened to BiH, also in English variously written
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Bosnia-Hercegovina)
is a mountainous country in the western Balkans.
Its capital is Sarajevo and it was formerly one of the
six federal units constituting Yugoslavia.
The republic gained its independence in the Yugoslav
wars of the 1990s and due to the Dayton Accords, it
is currently administered by a High Representative selected
by the UN Security Council.
It is also decentralized and administratively divided
into two entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
and the Republika Srpska.
Bosnia and Herzegovina themselves are historical-geographic
regions which today have no political status.
