Keywords: District Brcko, Ethnic segregation, Dayton peace agreement, Separation process in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Peace in Bosnia, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republic of Srpska.In 1995 with signing the Dayton Peace Agreement armed conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina has ended. It was signed by representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia and the Contact Group Nations. Amongst other, DPA has divided Bosnia in two parts. It is important to mention that Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is then divided in ten Cantons. Most of them are with Bosnian majority, but some of them are also with Croat majority, mainly in southern Bosnia. DPA has indeed stopped the armed conflict in Bosnia, but it did not resolve the ethnic tensions that where still more then obvious in Bosnia. Milestone of ethnical and religious division is the education in Bosnia. At the moment there are three different curriculums active in Bosnian primary schools: Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian. Radusic writes that there are no teaching plans and programs at the state level, but only at the Entity level. Radusic was speaking about the "National groups of subject".
