Two schools under one roof

[5] On 18 November 1991, the extreme elements of Croatian leadership in Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by Mate Boban and Dario Kordić (who was later convicted by ICTY of war crimes), proclaimed the existence of the Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia, as a separate "political, cultural, economic and territorial whole," on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

[7] The Croatian Defence Council (HVO), the military formation of Croats, took control of many municipal governments and services, removing or marginalising local Bosniak leaders.

[7] In June 1992 the focus switched to the towns in Central Bosnia, Novi Travnik and Gornji Vakuf, where the Croat Defence Council (HVO) efforts to gain control were resisted.

On June 18, 1992 the Bosnian Territorial Defence in Novi Travnik received an ultimatum from the HVO which included demands to abolish existing Bosnia and Herzegovina institutions, establish the authority of the Croatian Community of Herzeg-Bosnia and pledge allegiance to it, subordinate the Territorial Defense to the HVO and expel Muslim refugees, all within 24 hours.

[9] The Office of the High Representative (OHR), a body meant to implement peace agreements in Bosnia and Herzegovina, made certain efforts to unify the educational system in related areas, but with little success.

[10] On 8 July 2005, Paddy Ashdown removed Nikola Lovrinović from the position of the Minister of Education in Central Bosnia Canton for failing to implement laws designed to integrate schools.

[11][12] The removal of the Croatian Democratic Union minister in the Central Bosnia Canton in 2005 by the OHR hasn't resulted in any progress related to the termination of segregation in schools yet.
