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.
