Bosnia and Herzegovina - Culture

Bosnia and Herzegovina is characterised by its ethnic and religious diversity, and visitors should respect the customs and traditions of its various communities. The main ethnic groups are Bosniaks (48%, primarily Muslims), Serbs (37.1%, predominantly Eastern Orthodox Christians), and Croats (14.3%, mostly Roman Catholics). While alcohol consumption is generally accepted, drinking in public spaces may be considered offensive by more observant Muslims. Visitors should avoid discussing sensitive topics such as the Bosnian War or political and ethnic divisions to maintain cultural sensitivity and respect.
