Apologies, not an IATA Code. BiH is the abbreviation used for Bosnia and Herzegovina (the ‘i’ stands for the equivalent of ‘and’ when the local version of Serbo-Croat is written in Roman script. FBH is the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and RS Republika Srpska, the two main entities that make up BiH, along with the much smaller Brčko District. The whole country is absolutely fascinating from an inter alia historical and cultural point of view.
Not to mention a quite unbelievable and unique political structure where the presidency rotates every 8 months between the 3 elected heads over a four year term.
Indeed, completely unique and at face value it seems to cede a disproportionate amount of power to the BD (work it out, people). The reality is, thankfully, somewhat different as the national government has relatively little power, largely as a result of almost all of the budget and funding being vested with the entities (roughly proportionate to population/area). The more you look at the workings of BiH, the more interesting it gets.
