On the bright side, they save a lot of money on their Coast Guard.

That's what Peru tried to tell Ecuador.

[–] doubtingtammy@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think you mean like Peru and Chile told Bolivia,

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, probably.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I think a better summary would be: Chile told Bolivia after Bolivia tried to screw it over on an international treaty, and Bolivia dragged Peru into it. It's an interesting history from many perspectives: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Pacific

While not having any idea of their history, seeing how they ended up it seems rude to even ask.

They can have a little bit of sea, as a treat(y).

Still, it is completely surrounded by Croatia's claims, and located in the narrow Bay of Mali Ston that Croatia already has a bridge over, so if Bosnians get naughty again they can just turn their sea access into a lake just by dumping enough sand/clay/silt from the existing bridge.

I'll be honest. you're better not asking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia

Other 2 answers describe current situation, but the origin is much older. In 1699 Repubublic of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik) ceded Neum to the Ottoman Empire, to prevent land attack from Venice, as Dalmatia was part of Venice that time. Than BiH and Croatia just inherited the borders.

Alright, fine. You can have 20 miles or so, but nothing more. Oh and all the islands around it are still our's.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

That's 20km, only about 12 miles.

Most living in Bosnia along the Croatian border in the south-west are already ethnic Croatians, and they cross the border unimpeded to Croatia for all its benefits. Those that are not ethnic Croatians are likely ethnic Bosnian there, who cross as unimpeded as well, except they likely give less shit about it because they are just visiting their relatives or enjoying their EUR-bought or built homes during the summer but then go back to Germany to work for the rest of the year.

Chile moment

[–] FuryMaker@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Well, Bosnia did attack Croatia in early 90's didn't they?
