What do expats find most challenging?
We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Bosnia & Herzegovina. They wrote...
"One of the most challenging aspects of the local culture for expats in Bosnia & Herzegovina is the language barrier. Although Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian are all mutually intelligible, they are three distinct languages, and many expats find it difficult to learn all three. Additionally, the local culture is heavily influenced by the region's turbulent history, and many expats find it difficult to understand the nuances of the local customs and traditions. Finally, the local economy is still recovering from the war, and expats may find it difficult to find employment or to access certain services," said a member in Bosnia & Herzegovina.
