'''Bosnia''' is the northern part of [[Bosnia-Herzegovina]]. It is a mountainous republic of south-central [[Europe]]; formerly part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] and then a part of [[Yugoslavia]]. The capital of Bosnia is [[Sarajevo]]. Bosnia voted for independence in 1990 but the mostly [[Serbian]] army of Yugoslavia refused to accept the vote and began ethnic cleansing in order to rid Bosnia of its [[Croats]] and [[Muslims]] (see [[Bosnian War]]).

In 1981, six children in the small Bosnian village of [[Medjugorje]] began to have apparitions of the [[Virgin Mary]]. The apparitions continue to this day though they have not yet been approved by the [[Vatican]]. As a result, Medjugorje has become a popular Marian pilgrimage site along with [[Fatima]], Lourdes and Guadeloupe.
