	Croatian National Feeling in BiH - HERCEG BOSNA :: Croats of Bosnia and Herzegovina ::
		The biological substance of the Croatian national feeling in BiH is such that even with the best of intentions, their efforts would have a minimal effect, and would end up resembling a caricature.
		The most recent population map of BiH reflects the official census taken in 1981, and this map, as well as all previous maps of the same kind, clearly points out areas of BiH which have sizeable, compact, and dense pockets of Croat population.
		Pavelic's "gulping" the entire BiH was careless, since its primarily Muslim and Serbian population had no intentions of accepting a Croat state, and which, due to the war conditions, had equal chances of succeeding on their own.

		The international community's lead institution in BiH, the Office of the High Representative, has insisted on granting approval of all political appointments and has prevented new appointees from taking office before a new civil code is adopted.
		We now estimate that BiH's current-account deficit was as much as 43% of GDP in 2002, caused by to a flood of imports sucked in by dramatic growth in consumer credit.

	Bosnia & Herzegovina - Country Profile
		In the 11th-12th centuries, BiH was governed by local nobles under the authority of the Kings of Hungary, as well as the Emperors of Byzant.
		BiH became a killing ground, as bands of Serbian Chetniks, the Croatian Ustasha, local militias, German and Italian occupation troops and the Communist Partisans vied with each other in terrorizing various segments of the civilian population.
		Although development in BiH lagged behind the levels attained by the more prosperous republics, in the decades following the end of the war BiH was transformed from a largely agricultural backwater into a modern, industrialized society.

	For a woman with intracranial hypertension (BIH) is progestogen-only contraception suitable? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Benign intracranial hypertension is characterized by the presence of raised intracranial pressure in the absence of a focal space-occupying lesion.
		In cases where a treatable or self-limiting cause of BIH is identified and where thrombotic associations have been excluded a history of BIH would not necessarily contraindicate the use of progestogen contraception.
		As BIH appears to be oestrogen induced rather than progestogen induced POC remains an option for this patient.

	EU in BIH
		As part of its major effort to help people return to their homes of origin, the European Union has to date rebuilt more than 40,000 houses all over the country, with a clear emphasis on the regions where returns are most likely to happen.

	What is BIH? - BIH PTC - Care2.com
		March 06, 2005 1:58 AM Unless you or someone close to you has BIH you're probably asking that question.."What is BIH"? I had never heard of it before I was recently diagnosed with it. I'll do my best to explain my understanding of it.
		To complete the diagnosis an MRI (brain) scan is arranged. Because BIH mimics the symptoms of a brain tumour an MRI is essential to confirm the diagnosis. If the symptoms are that of a brain tumour, it will show up on the MRI scan and the patient can be treated accordingly.
		Many BIH sufferers continue to work, others find that they are unable to, or they need to change the type of work that they do.

	Bosnia and Herzegovina: RS report context
		General elections were held under the supervision of the OSCE and the protection of IFOR troops and concluded on 14 September 1996 with the election of the new collective presidency of the central BiH government.

		Although the UNESCO mission was not in a position to gather economic data systematically, the backdrop of current major trends for the whole country makes it possible to comment on the general structure of socio-economic needs in RS and their likely impact upon education.

		As for the meeting arranged by HR Paddy Ashdown with all the parliamentary parties in BiH, Terzic characterized it as premature, adding that Ashdown must have arranged the meeting because he was afraid that he would lose his role as the leading reformer in BiH.
		He stated that by implementing the defense reforms, BiH had fulfilled the conditions for joining the Partnership for Peace Program, and added that it would be realistic to expect that a decision on accession of BiH to this association would be issued by June next year.
		Paddy Ashdown, the HR in BiH, said that "we will have to change the pace of reforms in the months to come if we want to fulfill conditions set by the EU." "We have to work in a better and faster way or the European future of BiH will collapse," he said.

		In the final months of 2005 the political scene in Bosnia and Hercegovina (BiH) was dominated by the issue of police reform.
		As had been the case with the defence reform concluded earlier in 2005, the essence of the EU's preferred plan was the centralisation and rationalisation of the two entities' police forces.
		The SAA negotiations are expected to take at least a year to complete, although they could take longer if progress is slow in the areas of concern specified by the EU, or if the October general election campaign causes delays.

		TI has been active throughout BiH for over three years and besides a number of analytical projects, the Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre has been run for half a year, through the generous support of the German Government channelled by the Anti-Corruption Initiative of the Stability Pact.

	Interview: Paddy Ashdown, High Representative for BiH: "Economic Reform in BiH"
		I would also point out that criminals who have held BiH to ransom for too long are now finding themselves either in jail or with their assets frozen and their ability to travel curtailed.
		There are criminal networks in BiH and they exert a significant and damaging influence on the economy, but I believe we are making serious inroads on their power.
		On the day I took up my duties in BiH, I declared that our task would be to “reform Bosnia and Herzegovina and put her irreversibly on the road to statehood within Europe.” I believe that we are on course to doing that.

		In BiH, however, the areas of Serb preponderance are not contiguous; they are primarily located in the north-east, south-east and north-west portions of the country.
		According to the Delo article, the JNA plan stated that, «[a]nalysis of the Muslim's behaviour showed that their morale, desire for battle, and will could be crushed most easily by raping women, especially minors and even children, and by killing members of the Muslim nationality inside their religious facilities».

		Serbian forces have divided BiH into six areas: 2nd Corps in the north-west, the so-called Muslim Triangle; 17 Corps in the north-east; 1 Corps in the centre, the Romanija Corps in the area of Sarajevo; the Drina Corps in the area around Srebrenica; and the Herzegovina Corps in the South.
		The group's weaponry is unknown, but because of the generally poor preparations for war in BiH and the United Nations arms embargo on the former Yugoslavia, it is unlikely to have large quantities of arms.
