Bosnia and Herzegovina (ISO Code: BA) is located on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe and borders Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro. Politically, the country is a federal republic with a complex administration, consisting of two entities and a Brčko District. The climate varies regionally: continental inland with cold winters and warm summers, Mediterranean along the Adriatic coast. Economically, Bosnia and Herzegovina relies on manufacturing, mining, energy production, and agriculture. The country is import-dependent, particularly for machinery, energy, and consumer goods. In foreign trade, the EU plays a central role as the main buyer and supplier, while the transit function is supported by well-developed road and rail connections. The national currency is the Convertible Mark (BAM), which is pegged to the Euro and enables stable trade and payment flows. Strategically, Bosnia and Herzegovina benefits from its position as a link between Central and Southeastern Europe, with logistics and transportation gaining increasing importance.
