Property Regime

This paper explores the post-Dayton property regime in Bosnia, as one tool for facilitating return of displaced persons and refugees. Implementation of post-Dayton property laws, intended to facilitate return, is explored, and few successes are found. Reformed property laws—subject of much attention and chief drain on resources of the international community—remain a legal framework on paper only, and have not delivered minority return. In conclusion, the international community must expand its focus beyond minority return, to the broader concept of “durable solutions.” Acknowledging that some displaced persons will not wish to return to their home of origin, the international community should engage in parallel efforts to provide solutions to those who genuinely wish to relocate.

Durable Solutions

Property plays an important role in the decisions made by refugees and displaced persons regarding durable solutions for them and their families. In particular, it will affect their decision whether to return to their homes. Understanding property rights in this context is imperative, especially for agencies involved in post-conflict rehabilitation. This paper sets out the context by outlining various legal and practical considerations. It then looks at specific initiatives in Mozambique, Bosnia and Nicaragua. For a variety of reasons, there is a move towards "non formal" resolution of property disputes, in particular the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. These are considered, and seven points of comment and conclusion then follow.

Principles And Standards

Corporate governance provides an answer to the question who controls the corporation and how. It involves a set of relationships between management, shareholders and stakeholders. Corporate governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina is within the legal jurisdiction of entities, and consequently there are two substantially aligned and yet completely distinct corporate governance systems, which separates Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state in the international environment into a specific category in terms of corporate governance. This paper will analyze ownership concentration in order to identify the characteristics of the corporate governance systems, then it will present the principles on which the legal framework for corporate governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina is defined, compare the business transparency standards with the transparency directive in the EU, and measure the quality level of corporate governance in order to define key areas for improvement of corporate governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The development and characteristics of the corporate governance systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be explored and compared with the regulatory framework and standards of corporate governance in the European Union. Special emphasis is on comparing the transparency principles and standards of corporations in Bosnia and Herzegovina with corporations in the European Union. The aim of the research is to compare the regulatory framework and characteristics of the corporate governance system in corporations in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the standards in the European Union, to identify similarities and differences and to define key areas for improvement of corporate governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Minority Return

The contemporary ethnic and demographic situation remains essentially affected by the process of the so-called forced migration caused by the war conflict in the 1990’s. The aim of this study is to analyse interpretation of success rate of Bosnian refugees repatriation on the basis of an analysis of component statistical materials issued by international organizations and local authorities and its comparison with the reality using in-field investigation. This method (comparing of statistic data and reality) can help as the only possible way (because of absence of any statistical census – the last one was carried out in 1991 before the disintegration of the Yugoslavia Federation) to give more general characteristics of the current ethno-demographic situation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to evaluate the rate of the so-called minority return.
