Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Bosnia: 25 years since Dayton Accords, divisive politics live on” – below is their description.
It has been 25 years since rival ethnic leaders signed a peace deal called the Dayton Agreement that would end the three-year Bosnian war.
But the politically divided country has seen little economic progress and the strengthening of its institutions since then.
International leaders are urging Bosnians to make the Dayton Agreement work.

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.
