Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Bosnian Serb shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Bosnian Serb offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Bosnian Serb at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Bosnian Serb? Wrong! If the Bosnian Serb is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Bosnian Serb then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Bosnian Serb? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Bosnian Serb and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Bosnian Serb wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Bosnian Serb then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Bosnian Serb site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Bosnian Serb, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Bosnian Serb, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
Serbs are one of the three
Constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina of
Bosnia-Herzegovina, predominantly concentrated in the Republika Srpska, although many also live in the other Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are frequently referred to as
Bosnian Serbs in English language, regardless of whether they are from
Bosnia (region) or Herzegovina.
Population
The last 1996 UNHCR population census registered 1,484,530 Serbs or 37.9% of the total population of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The modern estimate is that they form more likely about 37.1% (2000). The vast majority live on the territory of the
Republika Srpska, and
West Bosnia Canton and Una-Sana Canton cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serbs are the most territorially widespread Constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The majority of Bosnian Serbs are adherents of the
Serbian Orthodox Church, while some are atheism. The Serbs of Bosnia and Herzegovina speak the Serbian language in its Ijekavian variant, similar to that of Montenegro, Croatia, and
Stari Vlah.

Name
in the Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to the population census conducted in
1981 in the Socialist Federal Republic of YugoslaviaThe Serbs are one of the rare
Slavic peoples nations who kept their old names that they had in the old Slavonic motherland. Beside the Serbs, only the Croats kept their old name. The other Slavic nations got their names after the migration from the old Slavonic motherland.
History
in
Bosnia and Herzegovina in
1991, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
Medieval
Slavs settled the region of Bosnia (region) in the first half of the
7th century. They were led by the
Unknown Archont and given Bosnia as a land to settle in by List of Byzantine Emperors
Heraclius. Historical records indicate two small inhabited cities, Kotor and Desnik, in Bosnia at the time populated by Bosnian Serbs. Bosnia was ruled by Ban (title) and in 753 formed a territorial union with the
Principality of Rascia known as
Surbia (Serbia, natively called
Zagorje) ruled by Grand Princes.In 822,
Prince Ljudevit Posavski of
Pannonia fled to
Srb in western Bosnia to the List of Serbian monarchs from the Franks forces and their allies. Prince Liudevit was accepted well by the Lord, but Liudevit eventually tricked him, killing him and talking his demesne for himself. The western regions were incorporated into the secular History of Croatia.
Some Bosnians were baptised into
Christianity by Byzantine missionary of the actions of
Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius in the 800s.
The Bosnian Chiefs abandoned the War-of-the-succession-torn History of Croatia and joined the Serbia of Prince
Časlav Klonimirović of the House of Vlastimirović up to
931. By the end of the 948 Croatian struggles for the throne, he included all the territories to the river of Vrbas River to the west and Sava to the north while western and northern Bosnia remained in the
History of Croatia. The
Drina area became the heart of his state. The Hungarian Kingdom had pretensions to conquer Bosnia, so Ceslav had to fend-off a Hungarian invasion in
955. Prince Ceslav saved Bosnia, but was drowned by the Hungarian forces in the river of
Sava in norther Bosnia in
960.
The Bosnian Serbian rule in eastern and central Bosnia crumbled after Ceslav's fall. It would take King Constantine Bodin (Peter III) of
Duklja and war against the Byzantines in 1082-
1085 to restore it. There he implaced a related courtier of his, Stefan as
Ban (title), whose heirs continued to rule Bosnia.

in 1921 in
Bosnia and Herzegovina according to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes population censusBetween
1945 and
1948, following
World War II, around 70,000 Serbs migrated from the
Bosnia and Herzegovina to Vojvodina, prior to the expulsions of Germans.Serbs were the larger of the two constitutive nations of Bosnia and Herzegovina (later of three, since
Muslims by nationality gained constitutive status in 1968). In the first population census conducted in the People's Republic of Bosnia in
1948, there were 1,136,116 Serbs or a total of
44.3% of BiH's population. In
1953, there were 1,264,372 Serbs in BiH,
44.4% of the total population. According to the 1961 population census, there where 1,406,057 Serbs, accounting for
42.9% of total population of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.Serbs lost their plurality as the largest single ethnic group of the
Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during the 1960s and 1970s, being overtaken by the Muslims by nationality. According to the
1971 population census, there were 1,393,148 Serbs in BiH or
37.2% of the population. In 1981, there were 1,320,644 Serbs in BiH or
32% of the total population. In that year, Serbs formed a majority on 27,255.2 square kilometres or
53.3% of the total territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They lived in
34.4% of the total housing of BiH. There was a Serb majority in 2,439 settlements or
41.4% of the total settlements of BiH and Serbs owned a total of
51.4% of the land of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In
1991, there were 1,369,258 Serbs in BiH or
31.4% of the total populace. It is unknown how many of those who declared themselves as
Yugoslavs were ethnic group
Serbs, but it is believed that altogether they made up 38% of BiH's population.
The
Serb and Croat political leaderships accused certain elements within the government of BiH of being pro-
Islamic and of attempting to create a Bosniak nationalism in the 1990s. The Serbs boycotted the 1992 referendum for independence from the
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Although it was eventually recognized by the international community, in the opinion of the Serb political leadership the result was unconstitutional since the will of one of the constitutive nations, the Serbs, was ignored. The Government of BiH declared independence anyway - which was not accepted by the federal government of SFRJ, and what followed was the forming of the
SAO Bosanska Krajina in the western Bosanska Krajina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina with its capital in Banja Luka, which was not recognised by the central government. SAO Bosnian Frontier made attempts to unite with the SAO Krajina in Croatia. The Serb political leadership martialled its own force assisted by the
JNA of the
Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and declared independence from Bosnia and Herzegovina in late
1992. BiH's Muslim and Croat dominated government did not recognize the new
Republika Srpska, whose president was Radovan Karadžić seated in
Banja Luka. The Serb side accepted the proposed ethnic cantonization of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Peace plans offered before and during the Bosnian War#Carrington-Cutileiro), as did the Muslim and Croat sides in Lisbon in 1992, in the hope that war would not break out. The Muslim political leadership under President
Alija Izetbegović of
Bosnia and Herzegovina subsequently broke the agreement refusing to decentralize the newly created country. The
Bosnian War began{fact}.. The different colors show majority in every settlement:Throughout most of the war the Serb side fought against both the
Bosnian Muslims side and the Croatian side. During Muslim-Croat hostilities the Serbs co-operated with largely with the Croat. There were exceptions to this as well, as Serb forces were also allied with the pro-Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
Bosnian Muslims of the
Western Bosnia under Fikret Abdić. During most of the war, the Republika Srpska comprised around
70% of Bosnia and Herzegovina's soil. During the entire length of war the
Army of Republika Srpska maintained the Siege of Sarajevo, allegedly in order to tie down the Bosnian Muslim forces and resources in what was the capital of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian state.
Republika Srpska maintained close ties with the Republika Srpska Krajina and received volunteers and supplies from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during the war. The Serb Republic received a large number of Serb refugees from other
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia hotzones, particularly non-Serb held areas in Sarajevo, Herzeg-Bosnia and Croatia. In
1993, the
Peace plans offered before and during the Bosnian War#Owen-Stoltenberg peace treaty was suggested that would give
52% of BiH to the Serb side. It was refused by the Bosnian Muslim side as too large of a concession. In
1994, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia imposed sanctions after the National Assembly of Republika Srpska refused the Peace plans offered before and during the Bosnian War. In
1995,
Operation Storm, eliminated the Republic of the Serb Frontier. The Croatian Army continued the offensive into the Serb Republic under General
Ante Gotovina (currently on trial for war crimes at the
International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia). Some 250,000 Serbs fled to the Republika Srpska and Serbia from Croatia, as the Serb side continued a full retreat of Serbs from the Una river to the
Sana river. The Croatian Army, supported by the forces of the Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina came within 20km of the de facto Bosnian Serb capital,
Banja Luka. The war was halted with the Dayton Agreement which recognized
Republika Srpska, comprising 49% of the soil of BiH, as one of the two territorial entities of the
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Serb side suffered a total 30,700 victims - 16,700 civilians and 14,000 military personnel, according to the Demographic Unit at the
ICTY. Although exact number are somewhat disputed, mostly by Bosniaks, it is generally agreed that the Bosnian War claimed the lives of about 100,000 people - Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks.
See: Bosnian war#CasualtiesThe demographics of Bosnia-Herzegovina as well as Republika Srpska were tremendously affected by the war. Current estimates indicate that some 400,000 Serbs no longer live in the Federation of BiH, the other entity in Bosnia which makes up 51% of its territory. By the same token, it is estimated that some 450,000 Bosnian Muslims and Croats that used to live in Republika Srpska no longer live there. Many Bosnian Serbs emigrated abroad to Canada, the United States, Australia and western Europe, while others also settled in Serbia and Montenegro. Some Croatian Serbs, fleeing the Croatian offensive Operation Storm, settled in Republika Srpska following the war, although most ended up in Serbia.
