About
Croatia-Bosnia Border Map refers to an image of a map of the countries Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina that went viral in July of 2018. The map demonstrates how the Croatia is mostly north of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but a long stretch of Croatia borders the beach of the Adriatic Sea, blocking nearly all of the other country's access to the water. The map was joked about in dialogue parodies characterizing Croatia as spitefully blocking the water.
