Bosnia-Herzegovina: still divided but hopes for the future

The past, present and future of Bosnia-Herzegovina came to the European Parliament on 14 March 2007 when MEPs debated a report drafted by European People's Party MEP Doris Pack. Opening the debate she called for a return of refugees, reform of the Constitution that divides the country, an end to nationalism mentalities and for Radovan Karadzic to be handed over for trial in Hague. She said that Bosnia must become a unified state 'able to look after its own citizens' if it ever wanted an EU future.
