About three months after the elections, the government of Borjana Christo in Bosnia and Herzegovina received a vote of confidence in the parliament.
In December, the vice-president of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) announced that she would lead a government that would seek to restart Bosnia’s EU accession process.
On December 15, the country was granted EU candidate status.
The new cabinet received the support of 23 out of 42 MPs in the House of Representatives.
The assembly of the Parliament and the formation of the government was delayed due to the complex procedures required for the representation of the ethnic groups.
Bosnia is governed by a dysfunctional system, a legacy of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the bloody war (100,000 dead) in 1995.
The country is divided into the Republika Srpska (Serbian Republic) and the Muslim-Croat federation, entities tied to the weak but often paralyzed collective presidency.
The president of HDZ Dragan Ković welcomed the vote of confidence in the government under the 61-year-old Christo, stressing that it is proof that “there is a constructive political dialogue in Bosnia-Herzegovina”.
