PoliticsBosnia-Herzegovina shaped by war, separatism and EU ambitions

Bosnia-Herzegovina is governed through a system created after the Bosnian war and formalized in the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords. Its complex multi-level administration and power-sharing among Bosniaks, Bosnian Serbs and Bosnian Croats are intended to preserve ethnic balance but often produce political gridlock, while European integration remains a central ambition.
