"Bosnia's Post-War Exodus: Navigating Emigration in Peacetime"

Bosnia is facing a peacetime exodus as a result of low birth rates and emigration, driven by ethnic tensions and frustration with corruption. The country's rural areas, including the village of Socice, are experiencing a significant decline in population, with only 15 people remaining compared to over 400 in 1992. This trend reflects a broader demographic crisis in Eastern and Central Europe, fueling the rise of ethnonationalist politicians who oppose the dilution of native populations.
