  • Here's some helpful information about the Zulfikarpaš..ić.. Karadž..ić.. agreement:

    The Zulfikarpaš..ić.. Karadž..ić.. agreement refers to a 1998 proposal for a peace agreement in the Bosnian War, which was signed by Radovan Karadž..ić.., former President of the Republika Srpska, and Bosniak Intellectual Forum leader Sefer Halilović..-Zulfikarpaš..ić... The agreement aimed to bring an end to the conflict and establish a framework for the Self-Government of the Muslim people in Bosnia.

    Here's a summary of the agreement:

    1. Territorial division: The agreement proposed a territorial division along ethnic lines, creating a 51% majority Bosniak-dominated territory and a 49% majority Serb-dominated territory.
    2. Powersharing: Both sides agreed to share power, with a rotating presidency and the appointment of equal numbers of Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats to the Bosnian Council of Ministers.
    3. Rights and institutions: The agreement guaranteed the rights of each ethnic group, including the establishment of their respective institutions and rights recognition.
    4. Bi-ethnic administration: The agreement provided for the creation of a bi-ethnic administration in the disputed city of Mostar, with both sides having equal representation in the municipal government.

    The Zulfikarpaš..ić.. Karadž..ić.. agreement was met with skepticism and criticism from various groups, including the Bosniak community, which felt that the proposed territorial division and powersharing arrangement unfairly disadvantaged them. Nevertheless, it served as a starting point for further negotiations and ultimately contributed to the Dayton Peace Accords, signed in 1995, which ended the Bosnian War.
