These are troubling times in Bosnia and Herzegovina There are rumblings of war, cessation, electoral reform that will only benefit those in power, and the general unrest that accompanies all of this. In my recent conversation with the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, he says it reminds him of 1992 and the days leading up to the war. He said it is very unnerving and disheartening to see the current state of affairs. Though he says this is common in the year leading up to a general election. Fear, as he says, is a powerful tool for the ruling nationalist parties.
