Livno, Duvno and Kupres are Tropolje/Završje region, region on exact border between Bosnia, Herzegovina and Dalmatia (tromeđa)
Geographically Livno is rather SW Bosnia, but by origin of population and linguistics I found out they are by vast majority from Dalmatia by origin.
Since they have lot of similarities with Herzegovina and are majority Croats, many include them in Herzegovina.
My father who is quite expert on this claims Livno is closest to Dalmatian hinterland, not either Bosnia or Herzegovina.
There is some truth in that since it looks like account of people who own Sinj and Livno samples are connected and these people are all related.
But, political border is the problem.
I would prefer to add Livno into Dalmatian Hinterland average because origins matter more than politics, but I probably won't.
Will make separate Tropolje average and if it is too similar with Herzegovina one I will blend them togheder. Not going to add it to Bosnia, customs and mentality, etc are too different although geographically it could be counted as part of it.
