The approaching elections will represent a serious obstacle to reaching agreement on a range of reforms required for BiH's closer integration with the EU as politicians representing different ethnic groups play the nationalist card. The international Office of the High Representative (OHR), which has overseen BiH's post-war reconstruction since 1995, is likely to be closed down before the end of the forecast period. ac6560c94a5dfa7cb4afd92df97b6b51Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_october_2009.htmlOutlook for 2010-11 The governments of Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) and its two largely autonomous entities are expected to stay in office until the end of their terms in late 2010, despite many differences within the ruling coalitions.

Multilateral institutions such as the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and European Investment Bank (EIB) continue to play a pivotal role in financing infrastructure projects in Bosnia, especially since the departure of infrastructure and energy majors from the country over 2009. Approval for loans from the EBRD is currently being sought for major projects in the transport sector(Sarajevo Airport, Sarajevo Bypass, Pan-European Corridors), and we expect those projects to dominate the sector in the remainder of 2009 and 2010. facaa01aae3c70e3e98922b0c7e08678Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_september_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The central government of Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) is expected to stay in office until the end of its term in late 2010, despite many differences within the ruling coalition. Mustafa Mujezinovic, the new prime minister of BiH's larger entity, the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim)-Bosnian Croat Federation, appears to reflect closely the policies of the leading Bosniak politician, Sulejman Tihic. Mr? Tihic's success in consolidating his position may help to revive talks on constitutional reforms with BiH's Serb and Croat politicians, but only if the Bosnian Serb leader, Milorad Dodik, adopts a more pragmatic approach. 09eccff4251d5c8cc319ded26e15135bSun, 09 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_august_2009.htmlYou may have noticed that since the second quarter of this year, some additional content has started to appear in your monthly and quarterly CRs. We are now including a country map, and a range of basic data (selected to be useful for business travellers in particular), in every country report. For most countries, except a few where data is in very short supply, we are also including comparative economic indicators that show each country's position relative to regional peers, in easy-to-read graphical format. 6f45ae74b3e73ad5787d5049b29eda8bSun, 02 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_june_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The government of the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim)-Bosnian Croat Federation, the larger of the two entities in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH), is set to be reshuffled following the resignation of the prime minister, Nedzad Brankovic. The Federation's new government is expected to be more in tune with the policies of the leading Bosniak politician, Sulejman Tihic, who was re-elected leader of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) at the end of May. MrTihic's victory over his less pragmatic opponents may help to revive the stalled talks on constitutional reform with Bosnia's Serb and Croat politicians. 2a18c7dd46a9fa8ab1a58ff2f000046dSat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_may_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Disagreements over proposed constitutional reforms are undermining the stability of the government in the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim)-Bosnian Croat Federation, the larger of the two entities in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH). The dispute within the government may lead to a reshuffle. The prospect of a pre-term election, before the government's mandate runs out in October 2010, is fading, as the parties are reluctant to test their strength at the ballot box. babba7207e5663ad798a43a568c27362Tue, 05 May 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_april_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 Disagreements over proposed constitutional reforms are undermining the stability of the government in the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim)-Croat Federation, the larger of the two entities in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH).

If no reshuffle takes place, a parliamentary election may be called in the Federation well before the government's mandate runs out in October 2010. Talks on constitutional reforms are facing fresh obstacles as the Bosnian Serb entity, Republika Srpska (RS), insists on its right to secession from BiH. 32240b988366c19a4b8a1940a7bd48fdTue, 03 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_february_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The three main ethnically based parties that won the October local elections in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) are pushing for a government reshuffle. If no reshuffle takes place, a parliamentary election may be called in BiH's Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim)-Bosnian Croat Federation 18 months early. The three dominant parties are edging towards compromise on constitutional amendments and other reforms, which, if implemented, would help to facilitate BiH's integration with the EU. dc609895ab2fd17771c3dc3b1eb17fd5Mon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/bosnia_herzegovina_business_forecast_report_q2_2009.htmlSignificant Slowdown Ahead The Q209 Bosnia-Herzegovina Business Forecast Report paints a decidedly grim picture for Bosnia's macroeconomic and political stability. While we previously cautioned that the country would be unable to avoid knock-on effects of the regional economic downturn, the increasingly dim growth outlook for Bosnia's main trading partners has confirmed our view that 2009 will see a considerable slowdown in economic activity. Although the export-oriented manufacturing sector will surely be hit from a lack of external demand, we caution that an expected slowdown in asset and loan growth in the banking sector will weigh on domestic consumption. dddb0887c9f022273c4df8497fbfe17aMon, 02 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_january_2009.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The local elections in October have reinforced the positions of leading political parties representing the three main ethnic communities of Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH), and this may lead to a government reshuffle. The parties that have gained ground in the elections have shown willingness to agree constitutional amendments and other reforms, which, if implemented, would help to facilitate BiH's integration with the EU. BiH is unlikely to recognise the independence of Kosovo, as the Bosnian Serb entity, Republika Srpska (RS), remains firmly opposed to this. 03e1731cadb415f6d91ee9b98b06f376Thu, 01 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina_december_2008.htmlOutlook for 2009-10 The local elections in October 2008 have reinforced the positions of the leading political parties representing the three main ethnic communities of Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH), and this may lead to a government reshuffle. The parties that have gained ground in the elections have shown willingness to agree constitutional amendments and other reforms, which, if implemented, would help to facilitate BiH's integration with the EU. BiH is unlikely to recognise the independence of Kosovo, as this would create another source of internal division and increase the risk of Republika Srpska (RS) pushing for secession from BiH. 756cf9406fa8029dcd416555a06e8299Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovinahttp://www.reportbuyer.com/countries/europe/bosnia_hercegovina/country_report_bosnia_hercegovina.htmlOutlook for 2008-09 Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) will sign an EU stabilisation and association agreement (SAA) on June 16th, after leading parties approved a largely cosmetic series of reforms to BiH's decentralised police structures. The approach of the local elections in October is raising the political temperature and making it less likely that BiH's parties will reach agreement on the rest of the internationally backed reform agenda. The Republika Srpska (RS) authorities are unlikely to push for secession in response to Kosovo's independence declaration, but the risk of such a development is greater than before. cf1b38b00def0cd6823adea60717c18aThu, 05 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GBEurope/Bosnia-Hercegovina
