This sentence construction is interesting:
The more information you give, the description is much clearer. Is the above sentence grammatically correct?
I think you wanted to do this:
The more information you give, the clearer the description is. This is indeed correct.
If you insist on the second part of the sentence in the original form ("the description is much clearer"), then you need to swap them, as Max pointed out: The description is much clearer the more information you give.
A couple of more examples I found for you:
1. The more it rains , the more serious the problems become. 2. The more you pay, the better the quality is. 3. The fewer mistakes you make, the better your mark is. 4. The more I work, the less time I spend with my family. 5. The better I know him, the more I like him. 6. The more candidates there were, the more difficult the exam was.

A little off topic but something that annoys me is when non-Croatian language media outlets, ie in Serbia and BiH decide to spell English words phonetically.
I saw this one not too long ago: Anđelina Đoli (Angelina Jolie)
I think given the accessability that the Internet provides, most people from the region already recognize the names in English but if you're going to promote a phonetic spelling of a city why not just localize the term completely? So instead of Sent Luis we could say Sveti Luka or instead of Njujork we could say Novi Jork.

Is it possible to find pork ham in Sarajevo?
Sounds like a scenario for MI5- Mission Impossible 5

Yes, it is. But, you need to look little more further in malls and such places. I must say that I don't understand because pork is seeling quite well in Sarajevo.
I will tell a little anegdot ... A butcher told me (well, not me, one of mine acquaintances) that pork sale is veri, veri god, and that muslims are his main customers, but, he says that muslims ask him to wrap pork in manner so nobody can't see what they are caring.

Aztec, very good English. Congrats, but one of your sentences could be better. Why is this wrong? You made a few grammar mistakes. There is a way how this sentence could sound better.
Croatian sitcom "Get rest, you deserve it", is my favorite.
Jel ovo dobro napisano?
Ili
"Get rest, you've deserved it"
Ok, there is a difference in a tense used. The first one is Present Simple, and the second one is Present Perfect Simple. You can use both, but there is a quite difference in meaning.
Let me translate that.
1. Odmori se, zaslužuješ to. (statement, fact) 2. Odmori se, zaslužio si to. (time of action the is of no importance for the action itself, but Present Perfect is usually translated into Croatian as past).
I would translate it as follows: Get some rest, you've earned it.

Could someone translate this into English for me please?
"ne ali covjek zna da ne postoje bosnje"
Here it is...
No, but man knows that there is no Bosniaks (or in this case "Bosnje" as tauntingly (I hope that this word is correct, I had to google it ) name for Bosniaks).

Thanks, Snowflake. I learned from Santa Barbara, TV series.
Well, I think I know where the problem is... Maybe the part "he says" should go in past tense "he said", and "ask him", should go "asked him" (but for the last I'm not to shure, I thought of it first time, but it didn't sound right).
Like so...
