Canton 10 or Herzeg-Bosnia County (Template:Lang-hr; Template:Lang-sr) is the tenth of 10 cantons of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The local government seat is in Livno, while the assembly is in Tomislavgrad.

Names, symbols and controversy

In Croatian the term županija (county) is used, while in Bosnian and Serbian the term is kanton. The canton is officially referred by the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina as Canton 10/County 10 (Kanton 10 or Županija 10). The local government however refers to it as the Herzeg-Bosnia County (Hercegbosanska županija) and uses that name in the local constitution. This name has been deemed unconstitutional by the Federation's Constitutional Court partly because it "does not cover any part of the traditional region of Herzegovina". Other names used at the national level include North Herzegovina Canton/County (Sjevernohercegovački kanton, Sjevernohercegovačka županija) and Livno Canton (Livanjski kanton), after its capital.

The flag and coat of arms of the canton were the same as the flag and coat of arms of the former Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia. West Herzegovina canton was another canton in Bosnia and Herzegovina which also used this flag and coat of arms. However, these symbols were deemed unconstitutional by the Federation Constitutional Court, because "it only represented one group". Defying the court's ruling, the local government continues using these symbols, and the coat of arms is used at plates at the official institutions. Due to the name and symbols dispute, the local police up to this day have no official badges.

Geography

The total area of the County is approximately 4,934 square kilometres (1,910 sq mi), a tenth of the surface of Bosnia-Herzegovina and c. 19% of the Federation. The region is located between Dalmatia to the west, Una-Sana Canton to the north, Central Bosnia Canton to the east and West Herzegovina Canton and Herzegovina-Neretva Canton to the south and southeast.

Topography

Mountainous terrain of the region is a part of the Dinaric Alps, linked to a Late Jurassic to recent times fold and thrust belt, itself part of the Alpine orogeny, extending southeast from the southern Alps. The Dinarides form part of a chain of mountains that stretch across southern Europe and isolate Pannonian Basin from the Mediterranean Sea. The highest mountain of the Tropolje Dinarides is Mount Vran, located on the border of the municipalities of Tomislavgrad and Jablanica with the peak called Veliki Vran (Great Vran) at 2,074 metres (6,804 ft).

Political subdivisions

Canton 10 includes 6 municipalities: Drvar, Bosansko Grahovo, Glamoč, Kupres, Livno and Tomislavgrad.

Coat of arms	Municipality	Population	Area (km)
	Bosansko Grahovo	3,091	780.0
	Drvar	7,506	1030.0
	Glamoč	4,038	1033.6
	Kupres	5,573	569.8
	Livno	37,487	994.0
	Tomislavgrad	33,032	967.4

Governance

The canton is governed by the Government of Canton 10 (Template:Lang-hr, Template:Lang-sr). The current government is a coalition of 2 parties led by Croatian Democratic Union. President of the government is Branko Ivković.

Cantonal Assembly

The Cantonal Assembly (Template:Lang-hr Template:Lang-sr) is the parliament of the canton 10. It consists of 25 representatives elected by proportional representation for four-year terms of office.

Demographics

According to the 1991 census, 115,726 people inhabited the County. The absolute majority were Croats (54.5%), with Serbs making 32% of the total population. Bosnian Muslims also had significant population making 11% of the total population.

The exact demographic composition is not known because there has been no official census result since 1991 and there was significant population migration during the war.

Economy

Due to economic reasons (insufficient County revenues compared to expenses) unification with West Herzegovina County has been proposed.
