A deputy assistant U.S. secretary of state says of the State Department and his country's administration are now focused on Bosnia-Herzegovina. In an interview with Banja Luka daily Nezavisne Novine, Thomas Countryman said that he sees that concrete progress had been made both economically and politically, in Bosnia-Herzegovina. U.S. focused on Bosnia, says official Countryman said that the Dayton Agreement had not only stopped the war but had also created a new Bosnia-Herzegovina, underscoring that the peoples of Bosnia-Herzegovina should agree on everything that is needed to get accepted in the European community. This probably includes some reforms of the Constitution and some other reforms that could not be on the level of constitutional changes but are necessary for the functioning of the state, said Countryman. Saying that although he understands political worries of the Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Countryman underscored that support of the international community in creating a new entity should not be expected. The post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina is comprised of two entities: the Serb republic (RS), and the Muslim-Croat Federation, which is further subdivided into cantons.
