Former UN and NATO officials Louise Arbour and Wesley Clark said that Bosnia-Herzegovina needs to work on joining the NATO alliance. Former UN high commissioner for human rights and current International Crisis Group President, Arbour, and former NATO commander and current ICG member, Clark, said that the future of Bosnia-Herzegovina is more uncertain now than it was after the war in 1995, and that the country is deeply divided because of the political, economic and social crisis. ICG officials “fear for Bosnia” They said that even though it looks like a paradox, the entrance of Bosnia in the NATO MAP plan for integration comes at the best possible time. “Three groups of people in the country—Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats—all of them are battling to determine the future of the state of Bosnia-Herzegovina. The country will be holding general elections in October, and as if that is not destabilizing enough, in some voting districts, everyone is running in opposite directions," the two told the American Foreign Policy magazine. “Serbs are threatening to announce a referendum on the Dayton Agreement, Croats are calling for the creation of an autonomous entity within the country, and the Bosniaks wants a new constitution that will give them more power and replace the existing, highly decentralized document,” Arbour and Clark said. “The formation of a coalition government after the elections will be very difficult, regardless of who wins,” they said.
