HEAD TO HEAD
Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Serbia
Verdict
Serbia holds a 75–25 advantage over Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Relative Advantage Index, a decisive margin.
The margin is driven by military spending (92% of the combined total, $2.8bn) and economic size (GDP) (75% of the combined total, $90.1bn).
1 factor — nuclear warheads — could not be scored because the figure is unpublished for at least one side. Those factors are excluded and the remaining weights renormalised, never substituted.
