The Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CDUBH) has continued with its pursuit of a Croatian parastate and other extremist policies, although it seems that the international community and the government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina-the Bosniac and Croat entity-may have begun to gain control of the situation.

Earlier this year, CDUBH encouraged Bosnian Croats to leave the army and switch their loyalty to CDUBH, offering any soldier or officer who left a monthly salary of 500 German marks.
