Ubleha for idiots

  • Constituent peoples

    The best known are those in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They came into existence before or after the amoeba and immediately afterwards were nation building.  They have long suffered under the various totalitarian regimes (See) until they finally took the road of transition (See), In addition to the English language (See) they also have their mother languages (See) but they still do not know them well enough. They differ terribly between themselves but it is difficult to notice and define the difference.  In all wars they bravely stood on the side of  justice and the winners.
