elected leaders have been less likely to succumb to ethnic conflict.” 7 Yuso et al, research find that decentralization initiatives, like other impacts, in number of ways, contributes to accommodate rights, interests, needs and claims of competing ethnic groups, especially of ethnic minorities and accommodate them within the larger political system and their local attachments. However, the success of this process highly depends on the mechanisms adopted for sharing powers and responsibilities; the nature, subject and decree of decentralized power; and the willingness of authorities to allow the groups to exercise those powers, with other factors. 8 In Bosnia and Hercegovina security issue was established through lineation on ethnic discourse. Bojicic-Dzelilovic analyzed the acceptance of ethnification of security as the guarantor of security, actively manufactured by the country's ethnic elites using the very institutional means put in place by the international intervention, resulting at an'ethnic security paradox' in which the idea of individual safety—linked to the protection of ethnic identity in the form of an ethnified state—unsettles both collective and individual security alike. 9 Approximately, the same attitude is trying to be implemented by the Kosovo Serbs in Kosovo by enabling the construction of parallel ethnically structures and institutions including the recent attempt to establish the Association of Serb Municipalities with extra powers comparing to those with major Albanian inhabitants. 10 7 Joseph Siegle and Patrick O'Mahony, ASSESSING THE MERITS OF DECENTRALIZATION AS A CONFLICT MITIGATION STRATEGY, http://dai.com/sites/default/files/pubs/other/Decentralization_as_a_Conflict_Mitigation_Str ategy.pdf 8 Mohammad Agus Yuso, Athambawa Sarjoon& Mat Ali Hassan, Decentralization as a Tool for Ethnic Diversity Accommodation: A Conceptual Analysis, Journal of Politics and Law; Vol. 9, No. 1; 2016, page 55. 9 Bojicic-Dzelilovic, V.,(2015).
