§ 01 · The market
How buyers in Bosnia and Herzegovina search and decide
The country has two entities and different regional business centres. Metal, wood and energy industries are important, alongside IT, tourism and services.
Three related languages
Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are mutually understandable, but word choice and script can signal which audience you address. Copy is planned with that in mind.
Regional centres
Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar and Tuzla have different profiles, so targeting can be split by region.
Wood, metal and energy
Many exporters supply wood products, metal and energy to EU buyers.
