Hello gang,
Here is the link to an excellent report by the Intl Crisis Group done this past Sept that summarizes the recent developments on the federation’s administrative qualms. It’s really interesting because many of the obstacles to post-conflict reconstruction that Marcus Cox argued in his article still remain today. The administrative functional problems, the decentralised constitution, and most importantly, the lack of strong institutions. These problems that they faced 5 years ago still exist today. Coupled with economic distress, ICG posits that worsening relationships between Bosniak, Croat, and Serb leaders could “turn public satisfaction into ethnic tensions and violence.”
Take a look see:
