This paper investigates if and how the media system in Bosnia and Herzegovina was influenced by the two decades of international media assistance programs.
The paper is a part of the comparative research project that studies the results of, and the challenges to the international media assistance efforts in the Western Balkan countries. The paper first provides a brief overview of the political and media system in BiH and democratization efforts to date. Focus then shifts to media assistance, with particular attention given to the four case studies: Public Service Broadcasting (PSB), the Communication Regulatory Agency (CRA), the Open Broadcast Network (OBN), and the Press Council.
