List of cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of cities and towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina:

FBH marks that the city is in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while RS marks that the city is in Republika Srpska. The city of Brčko, seat of the Brčko district is in neither entity.

The only places in Bosnia-Herzegovina with the legal status of a City are the capital Sarajevo and Banja Luka, in Republika Srpska. Mostar was a city prior to 2003.

Only Sarajevo and Banja Luka have more than 150,000 inhabitants (according to the last census in 1991). Current estimates include Tuzla and Zenica in this list, however neither had reached the population of 150,000 in 1991. It is important to note that due to massive migrations during the 1992-1995 war and lack of a state-wide official census, it is almost impossible to determine the current population in BiH, and the estimates are often exaggerated for political purposes, or local rivalries.
