The constitution drafted at the Dayton accords to establish the central government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska is heavily skewed against centralization. The national government's authority is limited to foreign trade, foreign affairs and currency. The Federation and the Republic have separate control over all other matters. The Presidency is split among Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian entities and must make decisions by consensus. The extreme decentralization of this national government appears to be a transition state.

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - Officials in charge of Bosnia's national monuments said Wednesday they rejected an offer by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art to exhibit one of Bosnia's most prized relics, a 600-year-old Jewish manuscript that remains locked in a museum that closed because of a lack of money.
Ljiljana Sevo of Bosnia's National Monuments Preservation Commission said that the Sarajevo Haggadah could not be loaned because of the unresolved status of its home, the Bosnian National Museum. The rejection puts pressure on the government to try to step in and save the museum.

Just as the Cold War came to an unexpectedly peaceful end in 1991, a series of wars engulfed the former Yugoslavia. The Balkan wars brought about the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and the forced dislocation of millions more, singled out for persecution because of their ethnic and religious identity. The violence against human beings was accompanied by the systematic destruction of the cultural record-libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage. This article is an attempt to put the destruction of libraries during the wars in Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kosovo into a broader theoretical and legal context. It examines patterns and methods of destruction, the track record of legal and practical measures to protect endangered collections in time of armed conflict, the ...
