So what would have been a good solution?

For starters, don't reward war crimes. Organize swift trials. They've only recently finished trials of high ranking generals and officials, there are thousands lower ranked ones which will never feel the hand of justice.

Thanks for your input. And what about the territorial control and governmental system?

Dunno, we're probably fucked up anyway. Our education system is destroyed, splintered into many small pieces, low quality, that is the worst thing for the future. There are simply too many layers of government, half of the country considers itself part of Serbia, the other part is busy crying wolf (while stuffing money into pockets). Teritorial rearangements wont make people more educated, happier, wealthier...
Even welcoming Bosnia into EU wouldn't help, that would be just a free pass to relocate for work, and a shot of a decent life (that is not easy to achieve in a foreign country, working jobs locals would not take)

Islamic state in Bosnia, that's funny. If you've ever been in Bosnia, then you would have known that the majority do not care about islam as itself. Yes, they might identify themselves as "muslim", but they aren't religious per se. My friends would go to pray for Bayram and then the whole city would eat and get drunk together, very Islamic. :)

You mean like the Srebrenica massacre? Oh wait, that was Srpska forces.

Nobody in their right mind wants an Islamic state there. No sane muslim in BiH wants that.
The fear of "Islamic state" in Bosnia is right wing trope.

Reminds me of a story my mother told me. Basically, my family are all "Muslims" and "religious". But there was one dark secret... my grandpa loved bacon. Whenever his cousin who was a Hodja came to visit us, my grandpa would hide his home brew raki and his lovely bacon.
