  Seismotectonics of Bosnia seems to follow the Mediterranean marine regime.
Earthquakes occur mostly in the outer Dinaric Alps (southern Bosnia), while the
strongest earthquakes occur within the Sarajevo Fault system in southern and
northwestern Bosnia. In addition to active tectonics being strong, crustal
earthquakes occur often as well. Due to rich hydrogeology, crustal loading such
as by snow and rain, or reservoir inundation, represents the most important
secondary seismogenic source in the region. Despite its exquisite and active
geomorphology no comprehensive and reliable geodynamical studies exist on the
region. Seismic sensors coverage is extremely poor also. One centenary
analogue, and a few recently installed digital seismometers are insufficient
for a region that exhibits mild to high seismic activity. Significant
investments are needed in order for GPS, seismic and other sensor instrumented
networks to be put in place or enhanced. Technical personnel needs to be
educated to enable support provide for studies that are done within broader
scientific activities. Such efforts that presently seek to include Bosnia under
their scope are ESF COST Action 625, NATO Stability Pact DPPI program, and
EUREF CERGOP geophysics projects.
