Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing a significant civil rights case that could challenge its ethnic power-sharing system as it seeks EU membership. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of Slaven Kovačević, stating that Bosnia's constitution violates human rights by prioritizing ethnic representation over other considerations. Kovačević's case highlights the discrimination faced by citizens who do not belong to the three main ethnic groups. The ruling could impact Bosnia's political stability and its EU accession talks, with concerns about the implications of altering the Dayton peace treaty.
