Bosnia and Herzegovina on the Dayton Crossroads
Milan Vego
Sažetak
Six and half years after the Dayton Peace Accords, which did stop the war, but also left over numerous problems, Bosnia and Herzegovina is still in the process of transition, divided into two entities that seem to bear more and more characteristics of separate states. Lack of security as the common feature of all the countries of South-East Europe is greatly felt in Bosnia and Herzegovina too. It is faced with a grave problem of return of refugees, that is carried out with enormous difficulties, as well as with still unsolved property acts and constant violation of human rights. The international community has invested so far more than 5,5 billion US dollars in the country. Still regardless of that fact, the country is hit by exceptionally high rate of unemployment, which has reached almost 50% of unemployed, a large number of companies are not doing business, the corruption reigns and a majority of young and qualified people wishes to leave the country (62%). The High Representative is the leading figure in the country, which only proves that Bosnia and Herzegovina, in spite of elected bodies of government (Presidium, Parliaments, Council of Ministers, Government), forms a protectorate of International Community. However, for all the problems it is facing, Europe granted to Bosnia and Herzegovina accession to the Council of Europe in April 2002.
