Claim: Veliki Školj is a territory of Croatia (Veliki Školj, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-01-05): The uninhabited island of Veliki Školj spans 21,677 square meters in the Malostonski Bay near Dubrovnik. The agency facilitating the sale highlights its suitability for glamping, naturism, weddings, private parties, team building, oyster tastings, and more. The island features a pine forest and a stone house built before 1968. Additionally, it has its own potable water source.

Evidence (2023-05-11): Another point of contention is Sveta Gera peak in Žumberak hills. Actually, even Slovenia more or less accepts that the peak itself and a military installation which is located there belong to Croatia, but that has not prevent its army from "occupying" the facility for the last 25 years. This was the first major border dispute between the two countries, but in recent years it has been somewhat overshadowed by the sea border issue. There are also several other sections of the land border that both countries claim for themselves. [...] The entire disputed area is around Neum, Pelješac Peninsula and, obviously, the Pelješac Bridge, whose exact location was one of the reasons so many unimportant problems kept being brought up. The first is the small Klek peninsula, rather, its very tip, which Croatia has claimed as theirs for a while, together with two small islands next to it, Veliki Školj and Mali Školj. Both islands are uninhabited and too small to serve any useful purpose, but Croatia insisted that it should have control over them. While Croatia has hundreds of similar islands in its part of the Adriatic Sea, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very short coast around Neum, and these two islands would virtually be the only ones it would have, so they have great symbolic importance for it as a supposedly "maritime" country. Another disputed area is a part of the border near Hrvatska and Bosanska Kostajnica, where at issue is a small castle currently controlled by Croatia, with both countries claiming it as theirs.

Evidence (2024-07-17): Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia agreed on a border demarcation treaty in 1999. The treaty was signed by the two former presidents, Alija Izetbegović and Franjo Tuđman, but it was never ratified by the respective parliaments, therefore it never entered into force. Croatia continues to administer areas that the deal assigns to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The agreement foresees a definition of the two countries' territory, in the area of the Pelješac peninsula which is slightly different from what is shown on maps, since Croatia agreed to recognise the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina over two small rock islands (Mali Školj and Veliki Školj) and the tip of the peninsula of Klek near Neum.[16]

Evidence (2021-09-23): To this day, both countries claim ownership over Mali Školj and Veliki Školj, and the tip of the Klek peninsula, which is found nearby. [...] The Bosnian flag stunt on Veliki Školj didn’t go by unnoticed in Croatia, Panjeta explains. It also coincided with protests that were being organised across Croatia, spurred by Zoran Milanović — who was prime minister at the time and is currently the president of the country — after he said that Bosnia could have the islands because "we won’t be getting into an argument with our neighbours over two pebbles in the sea". [...] One of the two brothers who own the Mali Školj and Veliki Školj, Tihomir Putica, told Euronews that although he doesn’t mind the occasional curious explorer of his islands, he doesn’t care about the decades-long questions about which country they belong to.

Nevertheless, we are taking you to this memorable Dubrovnik luxury yachting experience taking into consideration the usual summer weather conditions. These imply daily mistral blowing from the sea and nightly burin blowing from the land. [...] Ten miles separate you from the east side of Mljet island, and according to many, from one of the most beautiful places around, Podškolj bay. If you are lucky and a peaceful night is expected, anchor your sailboat in the 3 meters deep water between Mali and Veliki Školj, and the east coast of Mljet island. Alternatively, moor your boat to one of the buoys of the ‘Stermasi’ restaurant. This restaurant is situated on a nearby hill and we highly recommend it. The food and service are excellent, but the view from the lovely terrace is spectacular. [...] With the first sunbeams swim to Školj, and dive into the kingdom of colours and wildlife. Sail around the east cape of Mljet island, leave the too shallow Limuni bay at port, and anchor in a nearby Saplunara. There you will find a long sandy beach, the popular Hippocampus Beach Bar and a small grocery shop.

Evidence (2012-09-28): Along come new complications in the past few weeks. Bosnia and Herzegovina are disputing the border around the area where the bridge is to be built. I.e., a document purporting to represent an agreement between dr Franjo Tudjman (President of Croatia) and Alija Izetbegovic (Bosniak member of Bosnian-Herzegovinian Presidency) in 1999. This is a border agreement with which Croatia reportedly transfers to Bosnia and Herzegovina the tip of the Klek peninsula and two tiny islets Mali and Veliki Skoj near the proposed Peljesac bridge site. The Milanovic government decided recently to pass the agreement for ratification in Parliament, thus causing fiery disputes in Croatia’s public domain, which grew into delicate attacks between President Ivo Josipovic and the government, stirring the spirits among experts too. The document is reportedly ratified by the lower chamber of Bosnia’s parliament and whether it will be ratified in the Croatian parliament is yet to be seen. There are new calls against possible swift ratification, including comments by Tomislav Karamarko, leader of HDZ opposition, that late President Tudjman was very ill at the time in 1999 and may not have been fully informed or aware of implications of the so-called agreement.

Evidence (2024-08-27): Disputed territories - Other languages There are multiple cases where there is dispute over exact boundary. Sometimes it escalates into outright wars (in which case border mapping is typically suspended, OSM is not making daily updates to borders as armies move ) but there are many cases where conflict is frozen and stable. Sometimes territory is occupied/controlled/administered for longer or shorter term by one country while another claims that area as its territory. [...] Given how incomplete the list is and how quickly thing can change (humanity!), it might really make more sense to just read Wikipedia:List of territorial disputes. The geolocation on articles can be clicked back to OSM.

Evidence (2008-03-03): Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia agreed on a border demarcation treaty in 1998. The treaty was signed by the two former presidents, Alija Izetbegović and Franjo Tuđman, but it was never ratified by the respective parliaments so, therefore, it had never entered into force. The agreement foresees a definition of the two countries' territory, in the area of Pelješac which is slightly different from what is shown on maps, since Croatia agreed to recognise the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina over two small rock islands (Mali Školj and Veliki Školj) and the tip of the peninsula of Klek near Neum. On 17 October 2007, the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted an official position stating that "Bosnia and Herzegovina opposes the construction of the [Pelješac] Bridge until the issues related to the determination of the sea borderline between the two countries are resolved" and asking Croatia not to undertake any unilateral actions concerning the construction of the bridge. Bosnian MP Halid Genjac has stated that such official position has never been reverted and is thus still in force, while no official Bosnian body has given its express consent to the construction of the bridge. He argued that "the claims that Croatia is building a bridge on its territory are incorrect because the sea waters beneath the Pelješac Bridge are not and cannot be Croatian or internal waters, but international waters stretching from the territorial waters of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the open sea," Genjac argued.

Evidence (2012-07-30): The Croatian government intends to submit to the parliamentary procedure the agreement from 1999, according to which Croatia cedes to Bosnia and Herzegovina the tip of the Klek peninsula and Veliki and Mali Školj, two small islands in the Maloston Bay. [...] Veliki and Mali Skolj in the Maloston and Neum bays should belong to Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Croatia must have the opportunity to connect its territory in an appropriate manner, Lagumdžija told "Dnevni avaz" about the talks on the subject, as reported by Croatian media. [...] Lagumdžija dismissed the possibility that BiH and Croatia would "trade" the Pelješki bridge in exchange for the Veliki and Mali Školj and the tip of the Kleka peninsula, stressing that "something like that might be appropriate for the market, but not for the relations between the two countries."

Ovaj projekat ne treba politizovati, već da vidimo koja je akcija najisplativija", rekla je ministarka spoljnih poslova Vesna Pusić. Ona je istakla i da ratifikacija Ugovora Tuđman - Izetbegović iz 1996. godine ( Neumski sporazum ) nije uslov za dobijanje evropskih sredstava za izgradnju mosta, ali da ne bi bilo štete da se to dogodi.[22] [...] Veza sa ratifikacijom sporazuma o demarkaciji granice [uredi | uredi izvor]Bosna i Hercegovina i Hrvatska dogovorile su sporazum o demarkaciji granice 1998. godine.

Sporazumom je predviđena definicija teritorija dviju država, na području Pelješca koje se malo razlikuje od onoga što je prikazano na kartama, budući da je Hrvatska pristala priznati suverenitet Bosne i Hercegovine nad dva nenaseljena ostrva (Mali Školj i Veliki Školj) i vrh poluotoka Klek kod Neuma.[29] [...] - ^ "Peljesac Bridge to Finally Connect Croatian Territory by End of August". 20. 6. 2021.

Evidence (2024-09-10): Link with border demarcation treaty ratification [edit]Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia agreed on a border demarcation treaty in 1998. The treaty was signed by the two former presidents, Alija Izetbegović and Franjo Tuđman, but it was never ratified by the respective parliaments and so it never entered into force. The agreement included a border between the two countries in the area of Pelješac which is slightly different from that shown on maps, since Croatia agreed to recognise the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina over two small rock islands (Mali Školj and Veliki Školj) and the tip of the peninsula of Klek near Neum.[43] On 17 October 2007, the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted an official position stating that "Bosnia and Herzegovina opposes the construction of the [Pelješac] Bridge until the issues related to the determination of the sea borderline between the two countries are resolved" and asking Croatia not to undertake any unilateral actions concerning the construction of the bridge.

Evidence (2024-10-09): The second difficulty should be addressed together with the first. It would be especially important to define the sea boundary, regarding the tip of the Klek Peninsula and the uninhabited islets, Veliki and Mali Školj or, more precisely, the rocks in the Mali Ston Bay, which are part of a unique geomorphologic unit, together with the Klek Peninsula. If we draw the line of equidistance for purposes of delimitation of two states whose shores in one bay lie or are opposite to one another (the Peninsula of Klek and Pelješac), which is in accordance with the international law of the sea, as well as Article 4 (3) of the bilateral Agreement which, inter alia, prescribes that border at the sea stretches "the median line of the sea area between the land of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Croatia", it could be claimed that the disputed area would belong to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Closely connected to this, the question of Bosnia-Herzegovina's access to the High Seas or international waters of the Adriatic Sea and other world seas should be addressed, where no country in the world has territorial sovereignty, nor does it exercise any sovereign rights.

Evidence (2022-10-11): After the Badinter Commission Yugoslavia was decided to enter "in process of the dissolution", the first boundary agreement between successor states has been achieved. The Treaty on the State Border between Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was signed by the Croatian President, Franjo Tuđman and Alija Izetbegović, who was the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1999. The agreement was signed on 30 July 1999 in Sarajevo. The state border between the countries is determined according to the borders at the end of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991. The sea border in the area of Neum and Klek peninsula is delimitated by way of an equidistance line. (see figure 1 below). Article 4 of the treaty states that the State border on the sea stretches along the central line of the sea between the territories of the Republic of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in accordance with the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.[12] It is important to consider that both small islands near the Klek peninsula which are Mali Školj and Veliki Školj are given to BiH as well since they are so close to Klek peninsula.
