The Central Bosnia Canton (Bosnian : Srednjobosanski kanton/Средњобосански кантон, Croatian : Kanton Središnja Bosna; Serbian : Средњобосански кантон, romanized: Srednjobosanski kanton) is a federated state and one of ten cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Contents

The most populous settlement in the region is Bugojno, followed by Travnik and Novi Travnik. [2]

Geography

It is in the country's center, west of Sarajevo. The center of canton government is Travnik.

Municipalities

The canton is split into the municipalities of Bugojno, Busovača, Dobretići, Donji Vakuf, Fojnica, Gornji Vakuf-Uskoplje, Jajce, Kiseljak, Kreševo, Novi Travnik, Travnik, Vitez. [2] The region reports a GDP equitable with the average of Bosnia and Herzegovina more broadly. The region has historically benefitted from and economically relied on agriculture, trade, as well as mineral deposits. The Central Bosnia Canton is the fifth largest of ten and its share of the national population is slightly below average. [3]

In April 2022, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction recognized the region in a climate resilience initiative. [4]

Demographics

Of the ten cantons comprising the Federation of Bosnia Herzegovina, Central Bosnia Canton and Herzegovina-Neretva Canton are the only ones in which neither the Bosniaks nor Croats form an absolute majority. There are thus special legislative procedures for the protection of the constituent ethnic groups.[ citation needed ] The Bosniaks form a majority in the municipalities of Bugojno, Jajce, Donji Vakuf, Fojnica, Gornji Vakuf-Uskoplje, Novi Travnik and Travnik. The Croats form a majority in the municipalities of Busovača, Dobretići, Kreševo, Kiseljak and Vitez.[ citation needed ]
