Does Bosnia need a new constitution? On 14 December 2020, Bosnia and Herzegovina marked the 25 anniversary of the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which brought an end to the country’s bitter and brutal war. However, a quarter of a century later, the constitutional settlement put in place at the time is now widely seen as a source of instability. But what can be done to fix it?

The Bosnian War was the most bloody and brutal conflict in Europe since 1945. In 1992, the Bosnian Muslim (now known as Bosniaks) and Bosnian Croats voted overwhelmingly to declare independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was in the process of dissolving. However, this was opposed by the Bosnian Serbs, who established their own breakaway state, Republika Srpska. This was then followed by the Bosnian Croats. In 1994, the Bosniaks and Croats reached an agreement to establish a joint entity, the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On 14 December 1995, the Dayton Accords saw Republika Srpska give up its claim to independence and reintegrate into the Bosnian state as one of the two entities. However, this was done under an extremely complex constitutional framework. 25 years later, questions are now being asked as to whether it is time to change the constitution. And whether this is even possible?
