Bosnia-Herzegovina.

The Bosnian War (1992-1995) was the bloodiest in Europe since World War II. The bitter ethnic conflict has left a country deeply divided between the Serb, Croat and Bosniak populations.

Bosnia is currently separated into two ‘entities’ – the ‘Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina’, which has a Bosniak majority with a sizeable Croat minority, and ‘Republika Srpska’, with predominantly Serbian population.

Local peacebuilders are attempting to bring about a stable, peaceful Bosnia, and much of their work focuses on improving relations between the bitterly divided Bosniak, Croat and Serb populations. However, almost 15 years since the end of the War, a peaceful, united Bosnia remains a distant dream.
