Résumé :

In December 1995, the Dayton Peace agreement was signed, putting an end to the war in bosnia that started more than three years before. It led to the creation of a new sovereign State, bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), with a dual structure, the Republika Srpska with a Serbian majority, covering 49% of the State Territory, and the Federation of BiH, with 10 cantons, where the Muslims and Croats are living.

Since then, the International Community has been exceptionally active. Many programmes have been launched under the auspices of the United Nations, the World Bank, the OSCE and the european union (member Stated and european Community). However, the situation is still problematic because of the economic situation.

The european union has a special role to play in bosnia, not only because of the failures of its foreign policy during the war in Yugoslavia and their consequences, but also because bosnia is a key country in the Balkans, whose stability has serious consequences on the EU itself
