Local
Language:
Bosnian - As
with most Eastern European countries, if you don't speak the local
language, German might help. It's very hard to find locals that
speak English (though some of the young people do).
Health Risks:
None - But there are still landmines in the hills and remote areas
of Bosnia. Don't stray into any abandoned village, and try to
stick to paved surfaces.
Costs:
Bosnia is extremely cheap! You can find rooms for a few dollars
and meals for much less than in other Eastern European countries.
The shopkeepers in the Turkish Quarter in Sarajevo are open to
bargaining as well. In fact, it's a must.
