| BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA |
Bosnia has been ravaged by civil war and, although currently at peace, there is still tension between the Serbs, Croats and Muslims. The country is divided into the Serb Republika Srbska and the Muslim and Croat federation, and there is little co-operation between the two regions.
The city of Brčko has been put under international control.
