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:
“Figure him there, with his scrofulous diseases, with his great greedy heart, and unspeakable chaos of thoughts; stalking mournful as a stranger in this Earth; eagerly devouring what spiritual thing he could come at: school-languages and other merely grammatical stuff, if there were nothing better! The largest soul that was in all England.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
