Even Holbrooke, the chief architect of the Dayton peace agreement, is worried. "It's time to pay attention to Bosnia again, if we don't want things to get nasty very quickly," Holbrooke said in a letter co-signed by Paddy Ashdown, the former chief of Office of High Representative (OHR), the international supervising and administrative body in Bosnia. Both Holbrooke and Ashdown claim that Bosnia is regressing, and that the Western powers should swiftly and strongly engage to prevent a renewed conflict and ensure Bosnia's evolution into "a functional and E.U.-compatible state...
