still unable to return home to anybody joins us live now from sarajevo so tony a somewhat mixed legacy of the dayton agreement but has it kept the peace. so far lower after 25 years it has kept the peace and that's the one overwhelming unmitigated success of the dayton peace agreement that ended the war it stop the bloodshed and anyone who covered this war intensively you will know what that means but having said that since that dayton agreement the progress has been very muted and very slow here there has not been the achievements in reconciliation and harmony that existed before the war and the dayton agreement for source so there have been problems along the way here there's also the problem of injustice dayton accords made provision for the people to move back to their homes or receive compensation that has not happened so you don't have that mix of communities that existed before the war and therefore basically dayton is cemented the divisions of

this country unintentionally but that is the case and the problem is where do we go from here it's a very difficult situation the future is not looking bright. plus new buildings in sarajevo but it's a facade real life for most of bosnia is not as bright as one of the poorest countries in europe has high rates of youth unemployment widespread corruption and a fraught political framework. for the sarajevo film on an orchestra playing mozart's 25th symphony a special coded restricted online celebration marked the official signing of the dayton peace agreement that ended the wall like bill clinton who was us president at the time lauded the achievement the nightmare you endured then has never returned and the credit for that achievement belongs to all the people of all backgrounds. the peace deal ended the bloodiest conflict in europe since the 2nd

world war but it didn't kick start the process of reconciliation or we knew the ethnic co-habitation enjoyed in pre-war bosnia had the dayton agreement been implemented. we would have had a much better situation today what is being implemented is to genocide here because there is too school in an effort to reverse the ethnic cleansing the dayton accords stated that everyone had the right to return to their homes or to get compensation that has never happened the serbs control 49 percent of the country and for them dayton was a good deal but. the newly elected mayor of east sarajevo says 80 percent of bosnian serbs would vote for independence if they have the chance and not thinking about it but if different counterparts different sides and kurds if they want to have to have a centralised state where the majority of x. . all decisions to do service and to other nations yes i'm going to say

that's not possible the dayton agreement has been criticised because it appeared to reward the serbs for aggression by legitimizing their territory republika serbska despite the atrocities committed on all sides during the conflict there have been hardly any revenge killings or into ethnic violence but with many unresolved issues especially the prosecution of war criminals according to some there's tension the sparks that is here in boston there is very dangers. should not be here what has been done is often harder to undo dayton unintentionally cemented the division of the country most don't know how injustice will be solved but they do know that bosnia can never go back to what it was when no one looked at the religion but only a person. the lack of opportunities here has laid $1800000.00 in salif the country . nobody knows where it is going from now it's in

a very precarious situation there hasn't been this it's the ethnic violence that was feared in the time but there are a lot of questions about justice to seeing justice to be done there are nearly $600.00 people who are facing criminal war crimes charges and till that is finished the process of harmony reconciliation can't really truly start to begin so the question is in a region where violence tends to happen every 50 years what is the future for both here and that's a question that not put not many people can answer absolutely ok many thanks for that. on the 25th anniversary of the signing of the dayton peace agreement. he is chief negotiator says although 2 conditions remain unresolved sealing a trade deal with person is still possible as despite missing a self-imposed deadline on sunday michel barnier is a briefing negotiating teams in brussels as they press on with talks to avoid a no deal outcome from interviews up because you don't use it often going our

despite the exhaustion after almost one g. of negotiations and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile did the fact that the 2 sides haven't called a halt to trade negotiations as some had expected mean that progress was being made you know what was going that far. i do think as i say there is a deal to be done if our partners want to do it but we remain very far apart on these key issues and they are u.k. can't be locked into the e.u. is regular treat or bit we've obviously got to take back control fisheries full of years after people voted for it no deadlines been set for this latest extension
