Why do they sell these as negro if it has nothing to do with blacks?

>>75424082
I think its mostly because parts of it were under Venetian influence for significant period of time and since the Venetians spoke Italian they just translated it's name into their language
The name stuck and the country became and remained known by that name in the Western world

bosnia
