Climate
Although slightly inland as it is separated from the coastline by a portion of Croatia, southern parts of Herzegovina enjoy a mild Mediterranean climate while northern parts are under influence of continental climate with cold winters.
Understand
Herzegovina is one of the two traditional regions making up the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina the other being, perhaps non-surprisingly, Bosnia, and forms the southern quarter of the country. It borders Croatia to west, Montenegro to southeast, and has a tiny coastline on the Adriatic, the sole window of the country to the sea.
Although mass displacements and ethnic cleasings of the locals took place during the Yugoslav Wars of 1992–1995, the region still has a multi-ethnic community though not to the extend that it was before the war and is roughly divided in half between the two political entities of the country: Bosniak/Croat-majority Federation occupies the western half, while Serb-majority Republic of Srpska occupies the eastern half.
