At the time this volume was published these guidelines had been successfully employed in six municipalities of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The experience in each of these municipalities has been unique, but that was an expected result in light of the first three goals listed in the previous paragraph. However, the most important outcome of all is that the process is continuing in all six of these municipalities.
