Which cities belong to which Republic. There are 2 states, Bosnia-Crotian Federation and Bosna Serbian Republic. Banja Luka is in the Serbian part, for example Sarajevo is in federation. There a presidendency troika: Tihic, Paravac, and Jovic. There is a high representative Paddy Ashdown.
"The Chair of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina rotates among three members (Bosniak, Serb, Croat), each elected as the Chair for a 8-month term within their 4-year term as a member. The three members of the Presidency are elected directly by the people (Federation votes for the Bosniak/Croat, Republika Srpska for the Serb). The Chair of the Council of Ministers is nominated by the Presidency and approved by the House of Representatives. He or she is then responsible for appointing a Foreign Minister, Minister of Foreign Trade, and others as appropriate.

The Parliamentary Assembly is the lawmaking body in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It consists of two houses: the House of Peoples and the House of Representatives. The House of Peoples includes 15 delegates, two-thirds of which come from the Federation (5 Croat and 5 Bosniaks) and one-third from the Republika Srpska (5 Serbs). The House of Representatives is composed of 42 Members, two-thirds elected from the Federation and one-third elected from the Republika Srpska.

The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the supreme, final arbiter of legal matters. It is composed of nine members: four members are selected by the House of Representatives of the Federation, two by the Assembly of the Republika Srpska, and three by the President of the European Court of Human Rights after consultation with the Presidency."

This Wikipedia info is quite right except for the first sentence.

There are not TWO states in Bosnia, but two entities that 'have some attributes' of states, but in finality cannot secede from the country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are integral part of the country.

as for Pady Ashdown, he is de-facto Ruler of the Country (without right to affect/change the constitution)l his salary is about 30 thousand EUROs per month (paid by the EU). :(

I hope I am not all alone in this village :)
Is there anyone who will check the reality of these information. I think Bosnia is not an independent and sovereign country. There should be red tapes procedures in this complicated management. Why Bosniaks and Crotians behave as they are united? Do they have good relation?
