By this usage, a Bosnian-Australian would be an individual who belonged to these cultures.Most of the Bosnians in Australia came to the country as a result of theBosnian war which took place between March 1992 and November 1995. The war involved several ethnically defined factions within Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats as well as a smaller faction of deluded village-folk in Western Bosnia led by Fikret Abdić. Post-war relations amongst these groups in Australia are generally ok.
