Summary/Abstract: Ethnic structure of Bosnia and Herzegovina, now sixteen years after the war, is radically changed from the pre-war period. Many municipalities in which Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats made ​​up majority of population in 1991 have changed its ethnic structure picture, largely as a result of war and the subsequent resettlement of displaced persons. All three nations are homogenized. In relation to the 1991 census there is decline in the share of Croats and ‘others’ and increase the share of Bosniaks (probably to the level of absolute majority) and Serbs. Tendencies of changes in the ethnic composition of B&H were present before the war (pronounced lower birth rate and emigration of Croats and Serbs) and woulD be continued in any case. In Brcko District, which is in some ways a paradigm of the situation in B&H, many settlements where Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats made ​​up most of the population in 1991 changed its ethnic picture, with the proportion of Serbs increased considerably.
