Talk to Al Jazeera

The president of Bosnia and Herzegovina in conversation with Imran Garda.

The trial of Radovan Karadzic has once again been put on hold.

At the Hague, the former president of the Republic of Srbska, is facing a litany of charges which include genocide and crimes against humanity.

Fifteen years since the Dayton agreement brought an end to the war in Bosnia, the conflict itself and Karadzic’s legacy still shape the foundations of the country which is divided very much along ethnic lines.

Haris Silajdzic, the Bosnian president of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who says he wants to put an end to what he calls “Karadzic’s project,” joins Imran Garda on Talk to Jazeera.

He talks about Karadzic’s trial, the country’s history, the Dayton agreement, peace, ethnic divisions, natural resouces, relations with the Middle East, the progress of Bosnia’s economy, and the elections in October.
