The lead international role in Bosnia-Herzegovina should in 2011shift from the Office of the High Representative (OHR) to a reinforced EU delegation. OHR should withdraw from domestic politics and, unless a threat to peace emerges, focus on reviewing past decisions,the International Crisis Group says. “OHR should withdraw from Bosnia” The International Crisis Group has called upon Brussels “to name, without extending what is already a six-month delay, a strong ambassador to head the EU Delegation in Sarajevo, ideally a former member-state senior official with solid EU experience in, particularly, enlargement issues”. “Reform is urgently needed to avert political and economic crisis, but the OHR is no longer the entity that can cajole Bosniak, Serb and Croat leaders into change,” the International Crisis Group pointed out in the report. “Bosnians do manage their affairs without significant help. While the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) and Bosnian elites have debated OHR’s fate, much of the transition to domestic responsibility has quietly happened. State institutions have full use of the property they need, despite lack of clear ownership status. Ownership will have to be established sooner or later, to allow for re-sale and investment, but this is not urgent,” the report reads. OHR’s strongest local advocates, the left-leaning Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the centrist Party for Democratic Action (SDA), both predominantly supported by Bosniaks, are coming to terms with life without an international governor. The report explains that the OHR staff is “frustrated” over the present situation and their inability to influence political developments. “In the event of a threat to territorial integrity and advised by their on-the-ground ambassadors, the EU, the U.S. and others in the international community could muster the political will and military means to act, whether OHR remains or not,” the International Crisis Group concluded.
