Claim: Bosnia and Herzegovina is a place.

Bosnians -LRB- Bosnian , Croatian and Serbian : Bosanci / Босанци ; singular : Bosnian -LRB- Bosanac / Босанац -RRB- are people who live in Bosnia , or who are of Bosnian descent . Bosnia is one of two main regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina .   According to the latest official population census made in Bosnia and Herzegovina , most of the people identified with Bosniak , Croat or Serb nationality . Some people identified with `` Bosnian '' nationality , however these are listed under the category `` Others '' -LRB- along with all the other options such as Jews , Romas etc. -RRB- . According to the latest population census -LRB- 2013 -RRB- , there were around 2.7 % `` Others '' .   According to some , a Bosnian can be anyone who holds citizenship of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina , and thus is largely synonymous with the all-encompassing national demonym Bosnians and Herzegovinians . This includes , but is not limited to , members of the constituent ethnic groups of Bosnia and Herzegovina : Bosniaks , Serbs and Croats . Those who reside in the smaller geographical region of Herzegovina usually prefer to identify as Herzegovinians .   CIA factbook , used in this article as a source for numbers , does n't mention a sole `` Bosnian '' nationality . Instead it mentions `` Bosnian -LRB- s -RRB- , Herzegovinian -LRB- s -RRB- '' thereby emphasizing the regional significance and equity between the terms .   Ethnic minorities in this territory , such as Jews , Roma , Albanians , Montenegrins and others , may consider Bosnian as an adjective modifying their ethnicity -LRB- e.g. Bosnian Roma -RRB- to indicate place of residence . Other times they use -LRB- with equal rights -RRB- the term Herzegovinians .   In addition , a sizable population in Bosnia and Herzegovina believe that the term `` Bosnians '' defines a people who constitute a distinct collective cultural identity or ethnic group . According to the latest -LRB- 2013 -RRB- census however , this population does n't rise above 2.7 % .   According to a study conducted by University of Montenegro , Faculty for Sport and Physical Education , Nikšić , Montenegro and University of Novi Sad in Serbia , Bosnian people are the tallest in the world .
