Bosnia and Herzegovina (11).

Bosnia and Herzegovina, text by Alojz Benac and Ivan Lovenovic. Hardcover book published by Sour “Svjetlost” Jugoslovenska Revija 1986.

Despite exceptionally rapid industrialisation, which has bought with it all the problems connected with protecting man's environment, in Bosnia and Herzegovina there are still many regions where nature remains unspoilt, mountainous districts untouched beauty, rivers and lakes abounding in fish.


Food production is one of the principal area of economic development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is being achieved by the modernisation and intensification of agricultural production and livestock raising. Om the picture: combine harvesters in the vicinity of Bijeljina.
