KNOWLEDGE OF Neum
Neum is the only seaside town in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Around it there is about 21 km of coastline which is the only access of this country to the Adriatic Sea. It is located in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina entity.
Neum has steep hills, sandy beaches and several large tourist hotels. Prices tend to be lower here than in neighboring Croatia, making it popular with shoppers. Tourism, and the commerce it brings, is the leading contributor to the economy of the area. Border formalities with Croatia are relaxed at peak times.
Neum has around 5000 beds for tourists, 1810 in hotels with the remaining capacity in motels, villas and in private accommodation. Tourism in Nuem is active only in the coastal region. The inland area behind Neum has a rich archaeological history and untouched wilderness and is starting to develop agricultural tourism.
Neum has long, warm summers and short, mild winters. It ranks among the coastal towns with the most sunny days per year. The average sea temperature ranges from 13 degrees Celsius in January to 32 degrees Celsius in July and August. Popular activities include swimming and sun bathing, walks along the beach, boating and various water-sports.
Neum is 60 km from Dubrovnik (80 km from the Dubrovnik airport), 70 km from Mostar and MeÄ‘ugorje and 30 km from PloÄ?e and Metković, both of which have railway stations.
In 1991, the municipality of Neum had 4,268 people: 3738 Croats (87.6%), 209 Serbs (4.9%), 196 Bosniaks (4.7%), 92 Yugoslavs (2.1%), 33 others (0.7%). The town of Neum itself had 1,993 residents: 84% Croats, 5% Bosniaks, 5% Serbs, 5% Yugoslavs, 1% others.
The town was host to a conference entitled the Constitutional-law position of Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina in late October 2005.
The Neum region cuts Croatia into two non-contiguous parts. This is a result of the Treaty of Karlowitz of 1699. In this treaty the Republic of Dubrovnik gave the Neum region to the Ottoman Empire to ensure that it would not border on the encroaching Venetian Republic. The fact that the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina must be crossed to reach the southern region of Croatia has caused the Croatian government to plan a bridge from Klek to Pelješac to circumvent the area. Croatia has been forced to put this plan on hold, however, as the same, in its present form at least, is contrary to the international law of the sea (it would suspend and terminate navigation between Bosnia's territorial sea and the high seas).
