Veliki Školj is uninhabited islet in the Bay of Mali Ston, located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and with the nearby islet of Mali Školj makes the only two Bosnia and Herzegovina's islands in the Adriatic Sea.^[1]^[2]

The temporary regime of the sea border between Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was determined in 1999. The Neum Agreement on the temporary border was signed by Franjo Tuđman and Alija Izetbegović, and has not been ratified due to the emergence of the controversy surrounding the ownership of these two islands and the tip of the Klek peninsula. Croatia disputes the validity of the agreement and claims it as its own territory.^[1]

-'''Veliki Školj''' is one of the 2 islands on the [[Adriatic Sea]] belonging to Bosnia. The other one is Mali Skolj. Even though they are both uninhabited islands, Veliki Skolj is quite bigger than Mali Skolj and besides the name Veliki means big while Mali means small in Bosnian.

-==Recent history==
-After the Bosnian/Yugoslav war in the 90's there was a dissolution on these 2 islands. Technically, since they are closer to the Bosnian coast than the Croatian they should have belonged to Bosnia since that time but the Croatian government decided to go by Tito's Yugoslav republics' proclaimed borders so they took over the 2 islands. From the beginning of the 20th century Croatia was thinking to build a bridge to connect its northern part with it's southern so people wouldn't have to cross through Bosnian territory if they are going by car to the Southern part of Croatia. So, in 2012 they wanted to step it up a bit and get the approval of the EU. The EU's thoughts were mixed. They said that for now a good step would be to give Veliki Skolj, Mali Skolj, the rock of Lopata, and a part of the Klek peninsula to Bosnia. The funny part is that any tourist who goes to Neum could easily get mixed up. The reason for this is that even though Neum and the about half of the surrounding area is under Bosnian sovereignty, there you can see a lot of Croatian flags hanging in the air because the people who live there are mainly Croats. So a tourist might think he is in Croatia and then when he goes to the second border cross to officially be in Croatia he might explode.
