Although the national team of Bosnia & Herzegovina isn't going to participate in this summer's World Cup, the fans from this Ex-Yugoslav Republic will have two interesting friendlies to look forward to. After playing a 2:2 draw with Japan in their last international match the Bosnians will face two other Asian selections which will play in Germany, South Korea & Iran.

At the press conference of the Bosnian Football Association, the most questions were related to the young Haris Medunjanin who's in doubt whether to play for Holland or B&H. Will he accept the call up? What are the plans for him and how good the national coach Blaz Sliskovic's believes the youngster is going to fit in the team?

On all those questions the FA officials only said that they are really hoping that the 21-year-old puts on the jersey of his homeland and if that happens, they have no doubt that AZ Alkmaar's midfielder is going to make a great impact on the squad.

Goalkeepers: Kenan Hasagic (Gaziantepspor), Almir Tolja (Batery Savat), Romeo Mitrovic (Zrinjski).

Defenders: Dzemal Berberovic (Litex Lovech), Ninoslav Milenkovic (Germinal Beerschot), Sasa Papac (FK Austria), Velimir Vidic (Zrinjski), Branimir Bajic (Al Vahda), Nikola Vasiljevic (Modrica), Dalibor Silic (Siroki Brijeg), Vule Trivunovic (FK Sarajevo).

Midfielders: Zlatan Bajramovic (Schalke 04), Admir Vladavic (Zeljeznicar), Sergej Barbarez (Hamburger), Mirko Hrgovic (Hajduk Split), Ivica Grlic (Duisburg), Senaid Ibricic (NK Zagreb), Edin Husic (Orasje), Dusan Kerkez (NK Rijeka), Alen Skoro (GAK).

Strikers: Haris Medunjanin (AZ Alkmaar), Zvijezdan Misimovic (Bochum), Mirsad Beslija (Hearts), Zlatan Muslimovic (Messina), Mladen Bartolovic (NK Zagreb), Nedim Halilovic (Varteks), Petar Jelic (Modrica).

By 22nd May Sliskovic will decrease the number of his internationals from 27 to 20 and then travel to Frankfurt from where they will fly to Seoul (South Korea) for the friendly on May 26th. Five days later, Sliskovic and his players will face Branislav Ivankovic's Iran in Tehran.
