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:
“The debt was the most sacred obligation incurred during the war. It was by no means the largest in amount. We do not haggle with those who lent us money. We should not with those who gave health and blood and life. If doors are opened to fraud, contrive to close them. But don’t deny the obligation, or scold at its performance.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
