Cougarboard, if anybody knows anybody that can help with a medical situation in Bosnia, it's an American who is stuck.

On my mission in Ukraine we would have taxis that would drive that far

Side note, which mission in Ukraine? My BIL served in Dnepropetrovsk.

I was in Kiev 97-99

I would get him to Italy, Greece or Austria, whatever is closest. Any of those

Definitely Austria if possible

These guys would have some solid info even if they couldn't help.

Veracruz

Go to Austria. Once the guy is being treated, call the US Embassy in Vienna
