Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Bosnia 25 years on: Anniversary of Dayton peace agreement” – below is their description.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has marked the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace accords that ended the Bosnian War.
But not everyone is celebrating.
Tens of thousands of displaced people are still unable to return home.
And the country’s unresolved issues and dire economic situation mean many Bosnians are leaving to find work abroad.
Al Jazeera’s Tony Birtley reports from Sarajevo, Bosnia.

In This Story: Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina, sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in South and Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is bordered by Serbia to the east, Montenegro to the southeast, and Croatia to the north and southwest. It is not entirely landlocked; to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea, which is about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long and surrounds the town of Neum.
The inland Bosnia region has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest moderately hilly, and in the northeast predominantly flatland. The smaller southern region, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and mostly mountainous topography.
