Bosnian Austrians are citizens of Austria whose ancestry can be traced to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The vast majority of Bosnians emigrated to Austria during and after the Bosnian War of the 1990s, though a large number emigrated as early as the 19th century.
The largest Bosnian communities in Austria are found in Vienna, Graz, Linz and Wels; followed by Salzburg, Villach and Klagenfurt.
In June 2013 the city of Wels unveiled its Platz der Bosniaken — Trg Bošnjaka square in front of the Bosnian Austrian Cultural Center, as a symbol of recognition and appreciation of the Bosnian people living in Austria. Just seven years later in 2020 the first woman of Bosnian descent, Alma Zadić, a lawyer and politician of the Green party, was sworn in as the Minister of Justice of Austria. [2]
