The generic 'European Green Card' insurance cover does not cover Bosnia & Herzegovina, because that country is not a member (or candidate member) of the EC. But, you can buy insurance specific to Bosnia at the
major road crossings into Bosnia. I explained that process in detail at this post:
Balkans Insurance - Here's the story, with details & sample documents.
Coincidentally, when I first tried to enter Bosnia from Croatia - at a
minor road crossing - there was no insurance stand at that crossing, and I could not enter Bosnia. But, the Bosnian border guards spoke English well, and were very friendly and helpful - they told me that there was no insurance available at their crossing, but that I could enter at the next crossing about 80 km away and buy insurance there. They helped me plan out a nice route to the next crossing on scenic secondary roads, and I had a very nice time riding down to the next crossing.
If you plan to tour the former Yugoslavian countries again, contact Dooby (who posts as 'Frgich' here on the HUBB) for some advice. Dooby is the person who runs the
Lobagola B&B in Zagreb, and who sells Green Card insurance for Europe. He will certainly know the exact details of what is needed to visit the other former Yugoslavian countries, and which border crossings you can get the insurance from, because he lives right next to them. He might even be able to provide you with insurance for the other former Yugoslavian countries in advance of your trip.
