File talk:Ethnic Composition of BiH in 2005.GIF

This image is Wrong. The Ethnic Composition of BiH in 2005 was - 49.2 % Bosnians (Muslims) - 31.3 % Serbs - 17.3 % Croatians

On the image it looks like the Serbs are the biggest Ethnic Group in BiH, but this is definitely wrong.


 * The image may show this but remember that people (in most countries) generally live in cities. The biggest cities in Bosnia Hercegovina are Sarajevo and Mostar.  Sarajevo has a very large muslim population but only a small area (like most cities) so therefore the map does appear to show that the country is very Serbian but most areas populated by Serbians (with the exception of cities like Banja Luka) are far less populated.  Similarly Mostar has a small area but a very large population (by Bosnian standards) and is populated roughly equally by Muslims and Croats.

I am presuming that the thick white lines show the division between the Federation (Muslim-Croat entity) and Republika Srpska (Bosnian Serb entity) but it appears that the Brcko (spelling may not be correct) district is part of RS on this map when in fact it is administered by neither RS nor the Federation.--Xania talk 22:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

What data was used to make this map? Is it available somewhere? --Paxbldr (talk) 01:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
