The international community should take a firm decision to reinforce and transform its engagement in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) at the 18-19 November meeting of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) or risk growing instability. Since the end of the war in 1995, Bosnia's leaders, supervised by the Office of the High Representative (OHR), have made slow progress towards creation of a functional common state. The conflict between Serb leaders and the OHR now risks creating a real crisis and undermining the functioning of the Bosnian state. The PIC should reinforce the Bosnian state, close OHR and create strong alternative stabilising measures, including a reinforced EU Special Representative with a strong mandate, an extended EUFOR mandate and rapid NATO membership.
