Key insights on migration trends, cost of living, visas, economy, and quality of life in Bosnia

Migration trends

Bosnia and Herzegovina is shaped above all by the people who have left. About 1.6M Bosnians live abroad — half again the foreign-born population at home, and a number that has grown 9% over the decade. The diaspora spreads across the region and into Germany: 363K live in Croatia, with another 320,400 in Germany and a large Serbian community besides. Inside the country, immigrants number only about 33,000.
