lpv:translated text	". The former Turkish Province of Bosnia-Herzegovina does not form an ethnic unit. Its boundaries were even completely wiped off the map by the provincial reorganisations of the old Kingdom of Yugoslavia in 1929, the division into a Serbian and Croatian region following the ‘Sporazum’ Treaty in 1939 and the annexation to the nazi-satellite state Croatia in 1941. The main reason why the freedom movement under Tito chose to set up a federal state of Bosnia-Herzegovina between Serbia and Croatia in 1945, was that it saw this region as a melting pot for creating one Serbo-Croat nation. Some time in the future, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro would fuse into one big Serbo-Croat federal state, adopting the same dominating position within the federal Yugoslavia as Russia within the Soviet Union. This role of melting pot proved unsuccessful. As in the old Yugoslavia, the majority of the population is made up of Serbs and Croats, and their loyalties lie with the new neighbouring states, Serbia or Croatia, from which they wrongly feel cut off. I have the impression that we are still taking too little account of this, despite the federalisation of Bosnia, as agreed in Dayton. Financial aid is needed, but without the proviso that joint administrative bodies must be strengthened. If the EU were to subsidise the transfer of powers by Flanders and Wallonia in Belgium to the federation, this would also be met with horror."@en1
