Thank you for asking, it’s really cool of you to do that. Here are some of mine that I would ask:

1) Dayton, entities, and long-term vision

The Dayton Peace Agreement and the current administrative entity structures were widely understood as transitional frameworks. Nearly 30 years later, there still isn’t a clear roadmap toward a more integrated, functional state. Does the international community, particularly the OHR and EU have a concrete long-term vision for Bosnia and Herzegovina’s political structure? If so, what does that transition realistically look like and on what timeline?

2) Sovereignty vs. OHR authority

The OHR holds significant executive powers, including imposing laws and removing elected officials, without a direct democratic mandate. What specific conditions need to be met for BIH to move beyond this system and regain full political sovereignty?

3) Electoral system & discrimination

Multiple European Court of Human Rights rulings have found BIH’s electoral system to be discriminatory toward citizens who do not identify with the three constituent peoples. Why has there been limited progress in implementing these rulings, and what role should the OHR play in ensuring a more inclusive and compliant electoral framework?

4) Natural resources & governance accountability

There are growing concerns that weak governance structures have enabled political actors to exploit BIH’s natural resources without sufficient transparency or accountability. What responsibility, if any, does the OHR bear in addressing these systemic issues, and what mechanisms exist to prevent further misuse of national assets?

5) Genocide denial & rule of law

Despite legal prohibitions on genocide denial, enforcement appears inconsistent and political rhetoric remains divisive. How does the OHR assess its role in upholding these laws and ensuring accountability, and what more can be done to strengthen their consistent application?

6) Administrative complexity, redundancy, and cost

BIH’s governance structure, particularly the division between the Federation & RS, along with multiple layers of government, creates significant administrative redundancy and cost. How does the international community assess the long-term sustainability of this system, and are there any efforts or frameworks being considered to streamline governance while preserving stability?

7) Close it out

What would you do differently today if starting from scratch?
