I have a friend whose parents are from Bosnia and he's very proud of his heritage. I'd like to get him a watch from a Bosnian watch company but am having trouble finding any.

That's because there aren't any, at least not anymore. See this thread on Watchuseek for a discussion on the matter.

The only names you're going to find associated with the area (i.e. the Balkans) are for vintage/resurrected brands such as Darwil (Swiss, but had a facility in Trieste so in the Italian Balkans), clock (not watch) companies such as Insa (which mostly do gauges and dials now), and defunct brands such as Mestis (which appears to have used ebauches from Poljot and 1MWF).
