Abstract: The development of geographical thought in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be monitored and analyzed through the Geographical Society of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Department of Geography of the Faculty of Science of the University of Sarajevo. The contemporary geographic moment of Bosnia and Herzegovina is in the time of a scientific explosion, which is conditioned by the accelerated growth of the association of increasingly engaged states and peoples, the tide of information, the expansion of horizons and contemporary tendencies of global regionalization. The basic problems of geography as a science in Bosnia and Herzegovina are:

-three different and separate in application of geography education curriculum;

- non-harmonized geography programs at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina;

- abolition of geography in most professional schools;

- difference in approaches to geographic education at all levels of education;

-very weak coordination of ministries and pedagogical institutes with scientific geographical institutions.

Understanding geography as a systemic science, which places an equal emphasis on the system of physical-geography, social-geography sciences, regional geography, cartography and geoecology, the Department of Geography innovated the existing curriculum for undergraduate and postgraduate studies with the aim of geographical applications.

Key words: Bosnia and Herzegovina, geography, geographical thought, Geographical Society.
