Sutorina

The village of Sutorina and surrounding territory, including a short stretch of the Adriatic coast was named after the little vale of the river Sutorina. Since the breakup of Yugoslavia, the territory has been disputed between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro.

The Bosnian side of the dispute is that:

The only possible former Bosnian exit to open sea in length of 7 kilometers on the west side of the entrance to the Boka Kotorska, gained in 1947 by the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslav republic of Montenegro. On all maps until May 1947, Sutorina is part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Sutorina, together with 5 Bosnian villages (Igalo, Sutorina, Sušćepan, Prijev and Ratiševina) subsequently was removed from all maps of Bosnia-Herzegovina and connected to Montenegro on maps, in a disputed manner allegedly by Đuro Pucar and Avdo Humo representing Bosnia-Herzegovina and Blažo Jovanović representing Montenegro who made a deal with the permission of Josip Broz Tito and Vladimir Bakarić. Sutorina is near the town of Trebinje in southeastern Republic of Srpska|Srpska, part of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The only valid borders between former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia republics are borders from the 2nd AVNOJ meeting in 1943. Now Bosnia-Herzegovina wants back its second and only possible exit to the open sea. Bosnia-Herzegovina currently only has access to the open sea across Croatian waters from Neum bay.
