Croatian Peasant Party Of Bosnia And Herzegovina
The Croatian Peasant Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina ( hr, Hrvatska seljačka stranka Bosne i Hercegovine or HSS BiH) is a Croatian political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since the legacy and the brand of the historic Croatian Peasant Party from the early 20th Century (led by Stjepan Radić and Vladko Maček) is popular and well-known, there have been couple of splinter groups and various parties in Bosnia and Herzegovina have a similar name, invoking CPP tradition. History HSS BiH was found on 18 April 1993 as an effort led by Ivo Komšić and Napredak to create democratic opposition to HDZ policies. HSS joined HDZ 1990 and other minor Croat parties to form "Croats Together" coalition, challenging HDZ in 2006 elections. In 2007, HSS and the New Croatian Initiative merged. The New Croatian Initiative was formed earlier as a splinter group from the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Krešimir Zubak. The merger was originally named HSS-NHI.

Proposed Secession Of Republika Srpska
The Dayton Agreement ended the Bosnian War and created the federal republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which consists of the Bosniak and Croat-inhabited Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH) and the Serb-inhabited Republika Srpska (RS). Although the Bosnian Serbs were viewed as "anti-Dayton" during the first years after the war, since 2000 they have been staunch supporters of the Dayton Agreement and the preservation of RS. Bosniaks generally view RS as illegitimate, and an independence referendum from BiH has been proposed in RS. The 2006 Montenegrin independence referendum and Kosovo's 2008 declaration of independence have raised the possibility of a referendum and unification with Serbia. In 2015, after a judicial and police crisis, the governing Alliance of Independent Social Democrats said that it would hold an independence referendum in 2018 if RS's autonomy was not preserved.
