Bosnia and Herzegovina, sometimes shortened to Bosnia, is a country in the Balkans. It is a de facto colony of the United States and the European Union.[1]
History
The Dayton Accords in 1995, which ended the Bosnian Civil War, divided Bosnia into two autonomous entities and reserved many powers to the UN-backed Office of the High Representative.[1] In 1999, Carlos Westendorp, a Spanish diplomat serving as high representative of Bosnia, fired the elected president of Republika Srpska.[2]
Government
Bosnia consists of two autonomous entities, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska. The Office of the High Representative has passed 140 laws with no democratic support. Milorad Dodik, the president of Republika Srpska, has resisted attempts for Bosnia to join NATO.[1]
Demographics
In the early 1990s, the population of Bosnia was 41% Bosniak Muslim, 32% Serb, and 17% Croat. 326,000 Bosnians identified as Yugoslavian rather than with a specific ethnicity.[3]
