## Bio

Alija Izetbegović was a lawyer, Islamic philosopher, and author who founded the Party of Democratic Action and became president of Bosnia and Herzegovina's presidency in 1990. When the country's Serb community revolted and formed Republika Srpska to block secession from Yugoslavia, the Bosnian War began. Izetbegović led Bosniak forces initially alongside Croat forces until a separate war broke out between them, resolved when he signed the Washington Agreement with Croatian president Franjo Tuđman. The wider war continued with widespread ethnic cleansing by Bosnian Serb forces, culminating in the massacre of male Bosniaks at Srebrenica — later determined to be genocide. He signed the Dayton Agreement after NATO bombings ended the war in stalemate, recognizing Republika Srpska as an autonomous entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina. He served as chairman of the presidency from 1996 to 1998 and briefly in 2000 before resigning.
