ABSTRACT
Ten years after the Dayton accords, Bosnia’s political status remains in doubt. Supreme authority still rests in the hands of an unelected international official. Security is still ensured by international peacekeepers. And Bosnia’s two main political entities – a Serb Republic and a Muslim-Croat Federation – still disagree about whether or not they should be merged into one. This limbo status is untenable for a variety of reasons, including waning international will for the high costs of sustaining Bosnia as a protectorate, the EU’s ongoing accession process, and the impending consideration of final status for neighboring Kosovo.
