Bosnia & Herzegovina (Austro-Hungarian Empire)
Under the terms of the Treaty of Berlin 1878, Austria-Hungary was authorised to occupy Bosnia & Herzegovina which had previously been in the Turkish (Ottoman) Empire. In 1908, outright annexation took place and the country became an integral part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
During 1912–1918, all stamps were inscribed K-u-K MILITARPOST.

Bosnia & Herzegovina (Yugoslav Regional Issues)
There was a regional issue in 1945 during shortages of Yugoslav stamps in the aftermath of World War II.
Bosnian Serb Republic
Following the collapse of communism in 1989, unrest between ethnic factions in Bosnia & Herzegovina developed into open hostilities. In particular, Serbian nationalists began forming Serbian Autonomous Regions (SARs) and these were rejected by the government in Sarajevo. The situation escalated after the government declared independence from Yugoslavia in March 1992. Despite world recognition of the new state, the Bosnian Serbs and the Yugoslav army attempted to take control of the country and besieged Sarajevo. Before long, a Bosnian Serb Republic (Republika Srpska) was proclaimed at Pale. It declared allegiance to Serb-dominated Yugoslavia.
By the Dayton Agreement of November 1995, the country became one state with two autonomous entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina; and the Bosnian Serb Republic.
Stamps inscribed REPUBLIKA SRPSKA have been issued since 1992.
