Personal Space Etiquette in Bosnia and Herzegovina

People in Bosnia and Herzegovina generally stand fairly close when talking, especially with friends, family, or in casual social settings, so a bit less personal distance than in Northern Europe or North America is normal. In crowded cafés, on public transport, and in warm social exchanges, light touching such as a hand on the arm or a brief hug among acquaintances can be common, though people still expect you to respect space with strangers and in formal situations.
