While not having any idea of their history, seeing how they ended up it seems rude to even ask.
They can have a little bit of sea, as a treat(y).
Still, it is completely surrounded by Croatia's claims, and located in the narrow Bay of Mali Ston that Croatia already has a bridge over, so if Bosnians get naughty again they can just turn their sea access into a lake just by dumping enough sand/clay/silt from the existing bridge.

I'll be honest. you're better not asking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_Yugoslavia
Other 2 answers describe current situation, but the origin is much older. In 1699 Repubublic of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik) ceded Neum to the Ottoman Empire, to prevent land attack from Venice, as Dalmatia was part of Venice that time. Than BiH and Croatia just inherited the borders.
