Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Muslim World

Trends and Opportunities

Abstract

This study examines trends in diplomatic relations between Bosnia and Herzegovina and five selected Muslim-majority states in the post-Dayton period in two major aspects. First, it observes and compares the quantity of their political relations and major initiatives towards enhancing cooperation in bilateral and multilateral forums. Second, it focuses on economic diplomacy, exploring bilateral trade, investment, and tourism. Using descriptive elements from both sections, the article finally reviews underlying factors, determinants, and pressures that explain why certain Muslim states have more intensive relations with B&H than others.
