Although situated close to the Mediterranean Sea, Bosnia and Herzegovina is largely cut off from its climatic influence by the Dinaric Alps.
The weather in the Bosnia region resembles that of the southern Austrian highlands—generally mild, though apt to be bitterly cold in winter.
Most of the watercourses in Bosnia and Herzegovina are international waterways – the Sava forms the country’s border in the north, the Una contributes to the western border, and the eastern border largely consists of the Drin.
