Council for Europe

The Council of Europe was very heavily involved in co-operation with Bosnia and Herzegovina. The teaching of national histories in secondary schools in South Eastern Europe and history curricula development were the topics of seminars held in Sarajevo in 2002. The next step was to provide support for educators and the development of a manual on teaching Bosnia and Herzegovina.
