Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country rich with
history, culture and natural beauty. Lying at
the heart of the western Balkans, the area that
now comprises Bosnia and Herzegovina has been
a part of numerous empires from the Romans to
the socialist Yugoslav federation. Through the
centuries, the region has developed unique architecture,
foods and cultures that reflect the mixing of
peoples and ideas. It is a country where the past
- both good and bad - remains an integral part
of everyday life.
Coming out of the violent war that both caused
and was caused by the break-up of Yugoslavia,
Bosnia and Herzegovina has sought since 1995 to
rebuild a devastated infrastructure and create
a political system that recognizes difference
but seeks to create democratic norms and processes.

The Fulbright Program in Bosnia and Herzegovina
is looking to attract scholars and professionals
who want to immerse themselves in a new culture,
work with students and faculty on issues in their
specialty, contribute to all aspects of higher
education reform and, in particular, who want
a challenge. The nature of the conflict in Bosnia
and the intense violence of the war have left
deep scars on the population of the country. The
Fulbright Program is committed to working with
local universities and other higher education
institutions to help civil society develop and
prosper.
This Web page is designed to help Americans learn
more about the country and what it has to offer
you as a Fulbright participant. All of the sections
contain direct links to additional information.
You will find general information about many aspects
of Bosnian life and culture, as well as specialized
materials on politics, economics, the media and
law. The education section provides an overview
of the educational system in Bosnia and Herzegovina
and direct links to potential host institutions
for U.S. scholars.
