In sports, culture, history, geographical beauty and arts... Not so much in economy...

You mean Bosnians, dude. Even a third of Croats (from Croatia) have Bosnian roots. Start checking the "Croat" footballers, tennis players etc.

Ivana must be from the 2/3 that don't.

As far as the background, she posted she is Croatian (and Hungarian), born in Sarajevo, Bosnia.

She is or her family was of Bosnian Croats, i.e. Croats who live in Bosnia. From my understanding is that Bosnia-Hercegovinia is a country (formerly was 1 of 6 Yugoslavian Republics) that is predominantly Bosniaks (Muslims), Serbs, and Croats. When the Muslim dominated government declared independence in late 1991 or early 1992 (forgot when exactly) the Serbs in Bosnia felts threatened because they were no longer the dominant group when Belgrade ruled Yugoslavia. The Serbs were very tough and surrounded Sarajevo so the Croats sided with the Muslims but then sometimes Croatian groups switched sides and fought Muslims. FUBAR.

I hope these republics don't go threw this again and hopefully tourism could get them more like the Czech Republic because it's beautiful land and lot of history.
