10 Largest Municipalities
Only Sarajevo and Banja Luka have more than 200,000 inhabitants (according to the last census in 1991). Current estimates include Tuzla, Bijeljina and Zenica in this list, however neither had reached the population of 150,000 in 1991. Due to massive migrations during the 1992-1995 war and lack of a state-wide official census, it is almost impossible to determine the current population in Bosnia, and the estimates are often exaggerated for political purposes, or local rivalries.

Famous quotes containing the word largest:
“Because it is in the nature of things that they become extreme, we have passed down from manliness to cruelty. If I had been told when I was 20 that there was a tavern in the town where the brave and the cruel were gathered together, I would have run all the way and I would have gone up to the largest and leatheriest of the denizens and said: “If you truly love me, kill the bartender.””
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)
