Evidence (2017-09-07): 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 (2023-09-28): Klek is a mountain in north-western Croatia, near Ogulin in Karlovac County. It is the easternmost mountain of the Velika Kapela range of the Dinaric Alps. [...] Geography and geology [edit]Klek is positioned as a prominent ridge on the eastern tips of Velika Kapela, and its slopes descend toward Ogulin and the valley of Dobra. The peaks are steep and rocky, and there are two most important ones, Klečice or Mali Klek (1058 m), and Veliki Klek (or just Klek, 1182 m), with its prominent vertical 200 meters high "southern rock". [...] The climate is mountain with heavy rainfall, which encourages the formation of seeping and torrent streams that gather in Klek's ravine (Klečka draga in Croatian) or Peras' gulch (Perasov jarak in Croatian). Behind Peras' gulch on the northern slope of Klek there is also a ruin of the old Frankopan castle Vitunj, above a village named the same.

Evidence (2024-09-10): Croatia stated that the bridge is located exclusively within Croatian territory and Croatian territorial waters and that it is thus entitled under the international law of the sea to construct the bridge without requiring any consent from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Croatia also expressed commitment to fully respect the international rights enjoyed by other countries in the Pelješac peninsula, including the right of innocent passage enjoyed by all countries under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the right of Bosnia and Herzegovina to have unrestricted access to the high seas. Croatia also stated that the expected height of the bridge of 55 metres (180 ft) would allow all current Bosnian shipping to use the existing navigational route to transit under the bridge, and that any ship taller than that which intended to dock at a port in Bosnia and Herzegovina could dock instead at the Croatian port of Ploče, in line with the 1995 Free Transit agreement. 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]
Claim: Klek peninsula is a territory of Croatia (Klek peninsula, 2024-10-09)
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. [...] An agreement reached in 1999 deemed that the islands belonged to Bosnia, but Croatia never ratified it. The last attempt at finding a solution took place in 2012, right before Croatia entered the European Union. [...] Serbia and Croatia still haven’t resolved the issue of a portion of their border along the Danube, with another two islands (river ones) caught in the dispute. Croatia claims another disputed peninsula, the Prevlaka, portions of which Montenegro claims as its own because they are found at the entrance of the Montenegrin bay of Kotor. A temporary solution was found in 2012, but negotiations over a long-term agreement have stalled since.

Evidence (2022-01-18): Peljesac is Croatia’s second biggest peninsula and it is situated in southern Dalmatia. The peninsula is part of Dubrovnik-Neretva County and it is 65 km (40 miles) long. Throughout history Peljesac had different names, such as Stonski Rat, Puncta Stagni, Ponta di Stagno or Sabbioncello. Peljesac is separated from the Klek peninsula (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and from the Croatian mainland territory by the Bay of Mali Ston. The Strait of Peljesac is at the peninsula’s far western end, thus dividing Pelješac from the island of Korčula. [...] This peninsula is a real treat for all winelovers. It is famous for its many vineyards and the production of some of the best red wines in Croatia (Dingac, Postup, Plavac). Some of the most famous wineries are Matusko Winery in Potomje and Grgic Winery in Trstenik.
Claim: Klek peninsula is a territory of Croatia (Klek peninsula, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-09-17): Croatia – Bosnia Herzogovina border is 956 km long and is largely the result of the Ottoman conquest and subsequent recapture of territories in the Great Turkish War of 1667–1698 formally ending with the Treaty of Karlowitz, as well as the Fifth and Seventh Ottoman–Venetian Wars. This border had minor modifications in 1947 when all borders of the former Yugoslav constituent republics were defined by demarcation commissions. This border was subject to a detailed review and an agreement was reached in 1999 although not ratified by the respective parliaments. Hence disagreements exist over areas such as the Klek peninsula and two islets currently occupied by Bosnia. [...] In order to avoid this and to increase the territorial integrity of Croatia, the planned Peljesac bridge after many delays will be completed in 2022. Although some in Bosnia and Herzegovina tried to block the construction of the bridge until the maritime border is settled, it is currently being built by a Chinese construction company and funded primarily by the EU. Croatia – Montenegro border is 22.6 km long and follows the internal demarcations of the old Yogoslavia. In late 2002, Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro adopted an interim agreement to settle the disputed Prevlaka peninsula at the entrance of the Bay of Kotor in Croatia’s favour, allowing the withdrawal of the UN monitoring mission. This agreement applies to Montenegro since its independence. Countries agreed to settle all possible disputes at International Court of Justice in Hague.

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.
Claim: Klek peninsula is a territory of Croatia (Klek peninsula, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2019-07-02): After the signing of the Treaty, Croatia’s local politicians in the south of the country, followed by some other experts, objected to the parts of the Treaty related to demarcation at the Klek peninsula and two islets which fell under Bosnian sovereignty. They complained that these localities belong to Croatia, that the border was erroneously drawn and that it should be corrected at these territorial points. From the Bosnian side also came complaints about the demarcation near Kostajnica where, according to these objections, Bosnia and Herzegovina is damaged. [...] The peninsula is 2,5 km long with its width varying between 170 and 480 m. It partially closes the Bay of Kotor. As in the case of Piran Bay, Croatia’s position that maritime delimitation would be based on the principle of equidistance, which Montenegro disagrees with. Bilateral negotiations did not produce any result, while the Protocol has been implemented without any disruption. The tentative agreement between the two countries is that they would submit the case to the International Court of Justice, but this has not yet been done. It has to be added that in the last several years, Montenegro managed to settle its borders with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. [...] The territory that Croatia claims is larger and this accounts for the difference in the border length. The disputed land is some 115 km2 on the eastern side of the Danube which, as Croatia claims, belong to her while some 10km2 on the western side of the Danube belong to Serbia.

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.

Evidence (2021-08-28): The Pelješac Peninsula is a finger of land extending north of Dubrovnik, from the isthmus that begins at Ston to the top of Lovišta. The landmass stretches across the mouth of the Bosnian Bay of Klek and is home to some of the best wineries in Croatia. In particular, the peninsula is known for production of wine from the endemic Croatian varietal Plavac Mali: a hardy, red varietal that is well-suited to the dry limestone terroir of the region. The vines often have root systems that extend more than 20 meters/66 feet into limestone seams in search of water. Everything on Pelješac is dry farmed, and 99.9% of the grapes we saw were bush vines, enabling the plants to naturally protect the berries from the scorching summer Croatian sun. Some serious backbreaking work to farm along Pelješac: everything is hand-picked, hand-pruned and even manually weeded.

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 (2016-01-20): Klek Peninsula and Neum Neum-Klek bay is a well-known and rare botanical reserve - Mediteranetum. Mediterranean region is present in the Adriatic province with climatogenetic vegetation of sclerophyllous evergreen oak forest (Orno-Quercetum illicis). As the result of a long-lasting human influence on sclerophyllous evergreen oak forest eco-system, there are vast rocky desserts, rocky pastures and shrubs, with the production of biomass, which in relation to climatogenetic forest of this area decreased to 50 %, and in extreme cases even to 0 % (rocky desert).
Claim: Veliki Školj is a territory of Croatia (Veliki Školj, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-04-19): Veliki Školj is uninhabited islet in the Bay of Mali Ston, located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and with the nearby islet of Mali Školj makes the only two Bosnia and Herzegovina's islands in the Adriatic Sea.[1][2] The temporary regime of the sea border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was determined in 1999. The Neum Agreement on the temporary border was signed by Franjo Tuđman and Alija Izetbegović, and has not been ratified due to the emergence of the controversy surrounding the ownership of these two islands and the tip of the Klek peninsula. Croatia disputes the validity of the agreement and claims it as its own territory.[1] [...] - ^ Zoran Šagolj (9 July 2017).

Evidence (2024-08-03): Cres – Lošinj and Krk – Rab island chains divide the Kvarner Gulf into four distinct areas: Rijeka Bay, Kvarner (sensu stricto), Kvarnerić, and Vinodol Channel. The Cres – Lošinj group also includes the inhabited islands of Ilovik, Susak, Unije, Vele Srakane, and Male Srakane, as well as a larger number of small, uninhabited islands. The Zadar Archipelago extends to the southeast of the island group.[18] The Krk – Rab island group includes only uninhabited islands in addition to Krk and Rab, the largest among them Plavnik, Sveti Grgur, Prvić, and Goli Otok. The Krk – Rab island group is usually thought to represent a single archipelago with the island of Pag (southeast of Rab) and islets surrounding Pag.[19][20] [...] Illyria was abolished in 1849 and the crown lands of Carinthia, Carniola, and Austrian Littoral (German: Österreichisches Küstenland) were established in its place, with the latter including the Krk and Cres – Lošinj island groups.[58] Through the Croatian–Hungarian Settlement of 1868 a corpus separatum was formed containing the city of Rijeka, as a territory directly controlled by Hungary.[59] In 1881, the military frontier, containing the Senj and Velebit foothills, was absorbed by the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.[60][61]
