Transatlantische Zusammenarbeit in Bosnien-Herzegowina- Neue Initiativen für eine Verfassungsreform 2013?
Transatlantic Cooperation in Bosnia and Herzegovina - New Initiatives for a Constitutional Reform in 2013?

Summary/Abstract: In October 2012, U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, jointly visited Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to demonstrate their united vision of the country’s Euro-Atlantic integration. Although the cooperation between the EU and the U.S. in the Balkan state can generally be considered as good, some disagreements between the Transatlantic partners remain, particularly with regards to the closure of the Office of the High Representative (OHR). The paper reflects these controversial issues as well as the current attempts to support constitutional reform in Bosnia. Being a highly sensitive topic, close transatlantic cooperation on the issue seems indispensable.
