A Bosnian Serb is an individual from the ethnic group of Serbs living in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This group primarily identifies with the Serbian Orthodox Church and speaks the Serbian language. Bosnian Serbs make up one of the three main ethnic groups in the country, alongside Bosniaks and Croats. The term is often associated with the political and social dynamics of the region, especially during the Bosnian War in the 1990s. The conflict was marked by ethnic tensions and resulted in significant changes to the demographics and governance of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
