[Dennis Baron]

Actually, here's what the CIA factbook says:

Nationality

adjective: Bosnian, Herzegovinian

Ethnic Groups

Bosniak 48%, Serb 37.1%, Croat 14.3%, other 0.6% (2000)
note: Bosniak has replaced Muslim as an ethnic term in part to avoid
confusion with the religious term Muslim - an adherent of Islam
