Numerous political observers of events in the Balkans agree that the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina is very difficult to govern. The ethnic differences are too great, and the memories of the war following the disintegration of Yugoslavia in the 1990s are too fresh. At that time, Serbian, Bosniak and Croat troops fought a bitter civil war. The international community later failed to find solutions to bring the different population groups together. Now the country's hopes rest on a young generation that has no interest in renewed conflict.
