What is .ba?
A little context on Bosnia and Herzegovina: the capital is Sarajevo, languages include Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, the currency is the Bosnia and Herzegovina convertible mark (BAM) and the international dialing code is +387.
Bosnia and Herzegovina shares land borders with 3 countries, so the ccTLDs next door are .hr (Croatia), .me (Montenegro) and .rs (Serbia).
IANA lists University Tele-Informatic Center (UTIC) as the manager of .ba, with an address in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The registry's website is http://www.nic.ba. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
On the technical side, .ba is served by 4 authoritative name servers, 2 of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .ba in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level.
