Expected Outcomes
Achievements: Results and Impact
Lessons for Replication
It can be said that despite the functioning and cooperation amongst entities of Republika Srpska (Serbia) und federations of BiH/FBiH, the new EC-supported water law (which never materialized based on political differences) was a main pitfall for the programme. However, from a local level perspective the programme did produce some results. Surprisingly, conflicts did not occur between the population of the different ethicies - as commonly expected - but rather between different governmental levels, due to particular/singular interests.
