Alija Izetbegović in
Tuzla, 22 December 1997 The
1992–95 war in
Bosnia and Herzegovina was ended with the help of participation by the United States in brokering the 1995
Dayton Agreement. The United States maintains command of the
NATO headquarters in
Sarajevo. The United States has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to help with infrastructure, humanitarian aid, economic development, and military reconstruction in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and Support for Eastern European Democracies (SEED) has played a large role in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, including programs in economic development and reform, democratic reform (
media,
elections),
infrastructure development, and training programs for Bosnian professionals, among others. Additionally, there are many
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have likewise played significant roles in the reconstruction. According to the 2012 U.S. Global Leadership Report, 33% of Bosnia's people approve of U.S. leadership, with 49% disapproving and 18% uncertain. According to the American embassy in Sarajevo, from 1995 to 2024,
USAID spent
$2 billion in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with two-thirds of the funds being spent in the
Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the remaining third in
Republika Srpska. The country's non-governmental sector was heavily affected by the
Trump administration's decision to freeze USAID projects in early 2025. ==Diplomatic missions==
