Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Political divisions of Bosnia and Herzegovina:
The Dayton Agreement recognized a second tier of government in Bosnia and Herzegovina, comprised of two entities - a joint Bosniak/Croat Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Bosnian Serb Republika Srpska (RS) - each presiding over roughly one-half the territory. The Federation and RS governments are charged with overseeing internal functions.
The city of Brčko in northeastern Bosnia is a self-governing administrative unit under the sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina; it is part of both, the Federation and Republika Srpska. The district remains under international supervision.
The Federation is further divided into cantons, see Cantons of the Federation, which are then subdivided into municipalities.
The Republika Srpska is further divided into municipalities, which are then grouped into regions, see Regions of Republika Srpska.
