The International Crisis Group argues in this Europe Briefing that the international community should start a process to close its supervision of Bosnia’s Brčko District at its meeting in December 2011 and develop a new strategy to better help domestic institutions address governance challenges and corruption, while retaining the ability to sanction any attempts to undermine security. Brčko Unsupervised focuses on the strategic, autonomous district which is vital to Bosnia and Herzegovina’s (BiH) stability and links the two halves of both the Republika Srpska (RS) and the BiH Federation (FBiH). Brčko, once seen as a model of ethnic coexistence and good governance, is now drowning in corruption and mismanagement. This situation is made worse by the growing country-wide crisis, with political quarrels blocking formation of the state-level government and adoption of 2011 and 2012 state budgets. |
