This makes Bosnian war the most devastating conflict in Europe since the end of World War II.
The most serious consequences of the War were in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnian war was most brutal and lasted the longest:
1. October,1991. - 14. December, 1995.
The war in Bosina resulted in emigration problems, resettlement and material damages.
Emigrants from Bosnia and Herzegovina are different from other emigrants throughout history.
They had to leave absolutely everything they had owned at that moment.
Mass migration forced by the Bosnia war was the largest migration in Europe since the World War II.
Most of the people emigrated to western Europe states: Austria, Germany and those from the frontier provinces to Serbia and Croatia.
Today there are less and less Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina
They still strive to further emigration prompted by a difficult economic situation in the country and the political scene.
There is no precise data regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina's population since the Bosnian War.
Ethnic cleansing within Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s saw the vast majority of its Croats move to the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina or to Croatia.
It is estimated that there are approximately 571,317 Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina, down from 835,170 before the war.
