Only hundreds of evangelical Christians in Bosnia. Really?

In a week's time I will be meeting with a couple who have been doing church planting for decades in the Balkans. In anticipation of that I was looking at some statistics for that region and ran across this about Bosnia in OperationWorld <http://www.operationworld.org/country/bosn/owtext.html>

"The miniscule evangelical witness has grown since 1991. Then there were only 2 to 3 congregations, but this had grown to 29 in 2000 with 700 people attending services."

Wow! That's not many. Still, that is a ten fold multiplication in number of churches in under a decade.

Anyone have more recent stats?
