Description
2009 has proved a difficult year thus far for Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and current indicators suggest that the country's political, economic and social situation is likely to become even more troubled as the country-wide election approaches next year. In March of this year, the Western Balkan state welcomed its seventh (and possibly last) High Representative (HR), the Austrian diplomat Valentin Inzko, following his appointment by the steering committee of the Peace Implementation Council and the UN Security Council. To describe his new role as extremely difficult would by no means be overstating the task at hand. Fourteen years after the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina, better known as the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA), brought the Bosnian war to an end, the country's latest political deadlock has demonstrated that domestic politics still needs to be underpinned by the presence of the HR and, more broadly, the support of the international community, ideally with the European Union (EU) in concert with a firmly engaged United States.
