evidence: Neum // Why Neum is Neum ‘I had a Welshman stay before, he was very nice. He didn’t like it when I called him English though, but he worked in London! I said to him that it is the same when you call us Bosnian or Serbian’. That cleared that up then. Josip considered himself a Croat, a grown man who spoke the Croatian language with his Croatian wife and Croatian kids. He was born in Čapljina, and he owned property in Neum. If you want to feel like you are in Croatia without leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina, Neum is perfect for you.
