Meaning and history

The domain extension .ba stands for Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is also often referred to as Bosnia and Herzegovina. This state in the Balkans, formerly part of the Republic of Yugoslavia, was founded in 1992. The economy of the country is mainly characterized by agriculture and the mining of wood and minerals. About 60 percent of the area of Bosnia and Herzegovina is forested. Due to the Yugoslavian war at the beginning of the 1990s, tourism in the country has developed only slowly. For some years, however, more and more tourists have been coming to Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the focus, as well as economically seen, are the cities Sarajevo and Mostar.
