Specialized Google Street View vehicles arrived in Sarajevo and were already on task today. The photojournalist of the portal Klix.ba “caught” their movements in several locations.
Google has added Bosnia and Herzegovina to the list of countries where Street View cars will drive in 2024. This matches a driver job posting posted earlier this month by DeRisk, a company that works with Google to hire drivers.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the last European countries without Street View, along with Cyprus, Moldova, Liechtenstein, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Vatican.

Google uses its own Gen 4 cameras, so that should fill in one of the few areas that lacks coverage.
Since Google added most of Germany to Street View, the remaining areas with poor coverage in Europe are now the Balkans and along the line from Belarus to Azerbaijan.

Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and also Albania, all have partial coverage with third-generation cameras. All those countries were covered 8-10 years ago and are in urgent need of updating.
Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides interactive panoramas from locations along many streets around the world.
