— Assessment: Technically part of both “entities” of the confederal state, Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine and Република Српска « Republika Srpska », but in practice independent of them. Perhaps the most successful unit in Bosna at intersectarian integration. Partially autocratic as a UN protectorate. Brčko had its own international supervisor, a deputy to the high representative, but that post was suspended in 2012.
— FH: 4-3, partly free (democratic). Econ: 5.70 (86), hybrid. (For Bosna as a whole.)
