A new law on religious associations, due for enactment in late 2001, is expected to enshrine full religious freedom in Bosnia-Herzegovina, as well as legal equality for all faiths.
Wolfgang Petritsch's office is the chief civilian peace implementation agency in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement designated the High Representative to oversee the implementation of the civilian aspects of the peace agreement in Bosnia and Herzegovina on behalf of the international community, with the approval of the UN Security Council. He also co-ordinates the activities of the civilian organizations and agencies operating in the country.
