Electricity and sockets
An adapter is required: Bosnia and Herzegovina uses Types C and F, which does not accept plugs from the UK.
Sockets at the destination
The grid in Bosnia and Herzegovina works at 230 V and 50 Hz; the recorded sockets are Types C and F. A converter can stay at home; Bosnia and Herzegovina supplies 230 V.
Handy for multi-stop trips: Croatia, Romania, Portugal and Albania use the same plug types. Travelling further to Malta, the Isle of Man and Cyprus means a different adapter. Across Europe this setup is common: 31 of 50 countries.
Protective earth
Mixed supply: Type C without earth, Type F with earth. Which one is in your room only shows on arrival.
