Bosnia

Bosnia is a country in Southeast Europe, formerly part of Yugoslavia, that is currently a federal state composed of two main entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republika Srpska. It is a nation with a complex ethnic structure and a history of ethnic conflict, including the Bosnian War in the 1990s.

Why it’s in the news: Bosnia is in the news due to recent elections that have heightened ethnic tensions, particularly with Serb separatist leader Milorad Dodik declaring victory, while also facing international scrutiny over EU integration and Russian influence.
