Mostar
[Reports]
The fate of the ethnically divided city of Mostar is crucial to the success of the Bosniak-Croat Federation and, by extension, to the effective implementation of the Dayton Peace Accords. Since the signing of the 1996 peace agreement, Mostar has continued to serve unofficially as the capital of Herzeg-Bosna, the illegal Croat third entity within Bosnia, and the vested interests of the ruling Bosnian Croat nationalists have condemned to failure international efforts to unify the city. Changes in the Bosnian and Croatian political landscape in early 2000 have however improved the climate for the re-unification of Mostar, opening for the first time the prospect of the full integration of the Bosnian Croats into the Federation.
