Editing Bosnia and Herzegovina (section)

== Economy and transport ==
The economy is based on services, manufacturing, trade, agriculture, energy, construction and tourism. Sarajevo is the principal administrative, financial and commercial centre. Banja Luka serves as the main commercial centre of northern and western Bosnia, while Tuzla, Zenica and Mostar have major industrial and regional functions.

Manufacturing includes metal products, machinery, vehicle components, furniture, timber products, chemicals, textiles, footwear and processed food. Zenica developed around iron and steel production, while Tuzla became a centre for mining, chemicals and energy. Forests support timber production and furniture manufacturing in several inland regions.

Agriculture is concentrated in the northern lowlands, river valleys and the warmer districts of Herzegovina. Farms produce maize, wheat, vegetables, plums, apples, grapes and livestock products. Vineyards and tobacco cultivation are established in Herzegovina.

Electricity is generated through hydroelectric and thermal power stations. Hydroelectric facilities operate along the Neretva, Drina, Vrbas and other rivers. Coalfields around Tuzla, Zenica, Kakanj, Gacko and Ugljevik support thermal power generation.

The main north–south transport corridor runs from the Sava through Doboj, Zenica, Sarajevo and Mostar toward the Adriatic coast. Railways follow the Bosna and Neretva valleys and connect inland industrial centres with the Croatian port of Ploče. Roads cross the borders with Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro.

Sarajevo International Airport is the principal passenger airport. Banja Luka, Tuzla and Mostar also have airports. The Sava supports limited river freight in the north, while the port at Brčko provides access to the wider Danube river system.

Tourism is centred on Sarajevo, Mostar, the Adriatic coast at Neum, mountain resorts, rivers and historic towns. Winter tourism developed around Jahorina, Bjelašnica, Igman and Vlašić. Mostar is known for the Stari Most bridge and its historic centre.
