[Untitled]

Hi,

I just read the Wiki article for the bridge from Klek to Pelješac, they already approved it. The writer of this article might like to update it.

Meaning

What does "Border formalities with Croatia are relaxed at peak times." mean? 81.93.102.185 (talk) 15:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Needs protection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.125.149.167 (talk) 17:04, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's relaxed all the time. I went through there a while ago when it was raining and the guards didn't even come out of their shelter. They just waved me through. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.236.177.82 (talk) 22:22, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BiH coastline

The opening sentence states 24km, how did anyone calculate that? I travel up and down Dalmatia frequently and I believe you can walk from crossing to crossing in less than two hours. Any sources? --Janjušević (talk) 13:43, 25 November 2013 (UTC) Blocked sock:Evlekis.[reply]

"nationality"

I'm surprised to see the term "nationality" in the 2013 census results, which supposedly indicated that almost 98% of the population were "Croats" and fewer than 2% either "Bosniaks" or "Serbs". This suggests that almost all the inhabitants of this Bosnian town are foreign nationals, which if so would surely be a world record. You would also expect such an overwhelming majority of Croats to have called for Neum to secede from Bosnia and join Croatia, solving in one fell swoop the current problem of Croatia's division into two parts by this tiny intrusion of Bosnian territory, with time-consuming border checks at both ends (Bosnia is not in the EU, whereas Croatia is) - a problem Croatia is now attempting to tackle by building the costly and controversial Pelješac bridge across the entrance to Neum's harbour. What I suspect is that most of Neum's people are in fact Bosnian nationals, though this is not indicated anywhere in the article. Like other Bosnians they may consider themselves either Bosniaks (i.e. Muslims), Serbs or Croats, but that is surely not the same thing as "nationality" (even if that is the literal translation of the term used on the census forms). It is also significant that the percentage of people calling themselves "Croats" rose substantially (from 87%) and the percentage of people calling themselves "Bosniaks" or "Serbs" fell substantially (from just under 10%) since the 1991 census - held in the year that war broke out in the former Yugoslavia, eventually spreading to Bosnia. The difference could be explained by the unsurprising tendency of displaced Croats from elsewhere in Bosnia to concentrate in areas with a large Croatian majority, as close as possible to Croatia proper, and the equally unsurprising tendency of Bosniaks and Serbs to move away from such areas.

Anyway, I feel that a less ambiguous term than "nationality" should be used here - such as "stated ethnic affiliation".213.127.210.95 (talk) 15:38, 5 March 2018 (UTC) 98% of the citizens of Neum are Croats by "nationality" and as residents of Bosnia and Herzegovina they have Bosnian citizenship. But in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina is allowed dual citizenship, so almost all citizens of Neum, like all other Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina also have Croatian citizenship since they are ethnic "Croats"[reply]
