As much as it is permitted, in almost same measure it's prohibited.
Smoking in building is prohibited, especially offices, same with
hotels, while you have places where you can smoke. For example in
Hotel Bosna I know there's cafe/bars/etc for smokers and non-smokers,
same with smoking floors, if there aren't none we'll make them :)
This depends from restaurant to restaurant, I could have this
information checked for you since it's a good one.

I'm not sure about this either, could someone who's more acquainted
with accommodation answer this question?

We're planning to open registrations within 30 days, you'll be able to
do it of our website (http://debconf11.debconf.org)

Please add her under: http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/Teams#Volunteers
There will be a filed asking to submit information on what you do
within Debian when requesting sponsorship. I'm encouraging everyone
who has anything to do within Debian to request sponsorship, at least
food and accommodation. Travel could be harder to get, again depending
on your involvement within the project.

We're planning to have free organized transport from Airport (Zagreb,
Sarajevo) to (Venue) in Banja Luka.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
