I thought settling in Sarajevo would be more difficult but with InterNations I quickly connected with other South African and American expats.
Welcome to the InterNations Community of Expats in Bosnia-Herzegovina!
Pozdrav i dobar dan — welcome to our expat community in Bosnia-Herzegovina! Whether you're an expat already living in the country, or are in the process of planning a move, InterNations is your platform for advice and information on this southern European country. It's also a meeting place for you to talk to fellow expats, whether you're based in Sarajevo, or outside the capital in beautiful locations such as Mostar and Banja Luka. In our Sarajevo Community, you can also attend monthly events to network with other expats or join groups based on a variety of interests or hobbies. There will be many considerations you have when moving to a foreign country such as Bosnia-Herzegovina. "Do the locals speak good English?", "which are the best schools?" or "is the local cuisine suitable for my dietary requirements?" are all valid questions, and you'll find the best person to answer them is a fellow expat — after all, there's nothing like first-hand experience!

Begin Your New Life as an Expat in Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnia-Herzegovina is blessed with breathtaking terrain, boasting mountains, lakes, and the enviable Mediterranean climate. Located in a strategically sensitive area of Europe, the area has had its fair share of conflicts, but the relatively new country is now stable on the whole. Many expats move to Bosnia-Herzegovina to work for NGOs and international bodies, but new businesses are also springing up, and expats can enjoy the low cost of living. For those located in the capital, Sarajevo, one of Europe's most beautiful and cosmopolitan cities is on their doorstep. Home to 400,000 people, the city has local delicacies expats will find it easy to grow fond of, including kebabs and grilled meat, while a vast array of attractive architecture makes for pleasant meandering through the streets.
