The ethnic coexistence model fails in Bosnia, where external peace efforts (not wholly successful) sought to broker a canton system. Bosnia becomes a confederation, but not before thousands of refugees flee the former republic. Reasonably intermixed areas become significantly more segregated. Areas in red (srbi for Serbians) are roughly the new border of the Republika Srpska (Serbian republic), areas in blue are roughly the croat-majority cantons (including the region of Herzegovina on the southwest edge which remains in Bosnia's (and Herzegovina's) name), and areas in green are bosniak (bosnian muslim) majority areas.
