"House War": restituce nemovitostí po skončení občanské války v Bosně a Hercegovině
"House War": Restitution of Property After the Civil War in Bosnia and Hercegovina

Summary/Abstract: The present essay covers the restitution process after the end of the Civil War in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Restitution of illegally seized property during the war was one of the key obstacles that posed a threat to the success of the post-war reconstruction of Bosnia. Regardless of the nationalists’ attempt to maintain status quo in ethnically cleansed territories, the international community pushed through new property laws that minimised the opposition of local elites. The essay analyses how well the restitution process truly succeeded and how much an optimistic interpretation of its results influenced common attitudes by the international community towards Bosnia and Herzegovina.
