The problems continue because Bosnia continues to lack the stomach to wage total war on Serbs:

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The top international official in Bosnia warned Tuesday that ethnic Serb leaders are making a concerted effort to split the country, or failing that to roll back many reforms achieved during the last 25 years, and he called for “a decisive stand” to stop any division.

Valentin Inzko told the U.N. Security Council the challenge to Bosnia’s once multiethnic society comprising Serbs, Muslims and Croats is being led by the Bosnian Serbs’ top politician, Milorad Dodik, who is the Serb member of the country’s three-member presidency.

He said the Serbs' campaign “could have political and security implications not only for the country, but also the region, and the rest of Europe.”

In what he said is likely his last briefing to the council after 12 years as the international community's “high representative” in Bosnia, Inzko strongly criticized what he called “the destructive long-term policy” of authorities in the Serb region, known as Republika Srpska.

The region's National Assembly adopted a measure in March that leaves open the option “for the so-called `peaceful dissolution’ of the country,” Inzko said. In April, leaders of Republika Srpska’s governing coalition parties met and Dodik announced the formation of negotiating teams, making clear the region “reserves the right to finally decide on its future status.”

The Bosnia war — the worst carnage in Europe since World War II — was fueled by the Bosnian Serbs’ 1992 declaration of their own state within Bosnia, and their separatist ambitions remain strong.

Bosnia remains torn by divisions stemming from the 1992-95 war among Serbs, Croats and Muslims during the breakup of Yugoslavia. A U.S.-brokered peace deal signed in 1995 in Dayton, Ohio, divided Bosnia into a federation composed of two autonomous regions — Republika Srpska for Bosnian Serbs and one for Muslims and Croats.

Inzko warned that even if a breakup is prevented, the Serbs' aim is “a perpetually dysfunctional” country. That is already happening “in the near-paralysis of the highest institutions ... including the presidency, the Council of Ministers and the Parliamentary Assembly,” he said.

As should be boringly obvious by now:

The divisions within Bosnia also reflect a mounting conflict between the West [Atlanticism] and Russia over the future of the Balkans. While the West [Atlanticism] wishes to see the still-volatile region reform and eventually join the EU and NATO, Russia has used its historic ties with Serbs to undermine this idea.
