Significance
Under pressure from the US and EU ambassadors, Bosnia's leaders have reached agreement to form a state government. The breakthrough has provided a badly needed respite from political paralysis; it required difficult concessions from all sides.
Impacts
By emphasising each side's concessions, politically affiliated media could jeopardise a shaky settlement.
The United States and EU are too preoccupied with mainly internal problems to re-engage in Bosnia or the Balkans more concretely.
Tensions between Russia and the West are being reflected in Bosnian politics.
