Today's Herzegovina

In the modern Bosnian-Herzegovinian state, Herzegovina is divided between the two entities (see Bosnia and Herzegovina and History of Bosnia and Herzegovina). Republika Srpska doesn't have any special arrangements for Herzegovina (though the term Trebinje Region is sometimes used for this). In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Herzegovina belongs to cantons Herzegovina-Neretva, West Herzegovina and partially to the Herzeg-Bosnia Canton.
