The Foreign Policy Initiative was established in 2004 by the founding members, who form the Assembly of the organization. It is a non-profit, non-government organization, dedicated to advance and influence the debate and discussion among academics, activists, and policy and decision makers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Apart from the regular official reports on the progress of reforms in BiH by governmental institutions and international organizations, we seek to present a critical view on the reform process, covering political, economic, and social issues.
