river on the outskirts of Sarajevo.]] The Bosna is the third longest River in Bosnia And Herzegovina , and is considered one of the country's three major internal rivers, along with the Neretva and Vrbas . The river flows for 271 Kilometer s (168 Mile s) and is found only in Bosnia. It has no foreign variations of its name, and is known as the ''Bosna'' in all three of the country's official languages, although it is sometimes spelled ''Vasna''. In Roman times the river was called the ''Basana'', and historians think this is the origin of the word ''Bosnia'', many other teories are supported by historians so this is not sure.
