BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: BETWEEN THE WEST AND THE REST

This paper provides an analysis of the current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the context of the relationships and the influence of the pro-Russian political factor, the hegemonic policies of official Belgrade and Zagreb towards Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the Western political influence. The paper specifically points out the shortcomings of the Dayton Peace Agreement and the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which favor the realization of Russian influence and hegemonic policies of official Belgrade and Zagreb (Serbia and Croatia), but recently also the influence of drug cartels in government institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This paper also considers the confusing actions of the Western powers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which still have a decisive influence on internal political trends.
