Yes, nice goal but the claim is exaggerated. In neighboring Serbia there is the Tara National Park [0], and nearby to this, but in Bosnia & Herzegovina, there is the famous Sutjeska National Park [1], which is one of the two last remaining primeval forests in Europe. That said, significant threats are still posed by potential exploitation of areas and rivers surrounding protected zones [2].

Tara the river is in Montenegro, not to be confused with Tara the mountain which is in Serbia.
Thank you for that. I actually did confuse the two! The Tara river [0] and the Tara Canyon [1] are absolutely amazing! To add to the confusion all the mentioned national parks are very close to eachother
