A. n.

1. A native or inhabitant of Bosnia, a country in south-eastern Europe; a person of Bosnian descent. In later use also: a native or inhabitant of Bosnia and Herzegovina.The precise boundaries have varied in different periods. Bosnia came under Ottoman rule in the mid 15th cent., and was loosely united with Herzegovina thereafter, remaining under Ottoman control until its occupation by Austria-Hungary in 1878. In 1918 the province was absorbed into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). The break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991 led to the proclamation of the independent state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the end of the Wars of Yugoslav Succession (1991–5), Bosnia and Herzegovina was confirmed as an independent, federalized state.
