Abstract: Twenty-five years since the establishment of peace in BiH as a result of the Dayton Agreement is the opportunity not only to remind ourselves of the socio-political context, but also to review the development of BiH within the framework set out under Dayton. This article deals with concerns such as whether Dayton has created the possibility for the development of BiH as a functional state or only the assumptions needed for peace; it also deals with the problems of BiH citizens in a post-Dayton BiH, with a particular reflection on those experienced by workers and their trade unions. Meeting the requirements for joining the European Union is an imperative for BiH. Responsibility on this path to the EU, however, lies equally with the political leaders of this country who, unfortunately, do not work towards strengthening the state of BiH; with the Peace Implementation Council, which is insufficiently decisive about fulfilling its commitments; and finally also with BiH citizens who have allowed their domination by ethnic parties and who would rather leave the country than oppose the growing hopelessness.
