Bosnia's top culture institutions closing down (AP)

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina ? Bosnia's oldest and most prestigious cultural institutions have begun closing their doors one after another, thanks to long-standing disputes among politicians from its three ethnic groups and meager state funding.

In 2011, the seven institutions ? including the 125-year-old National Museum that houses the country's most important archaeological and ethnological artifacts ? received no funding from authorities in the Balkan nation and can no longer finance their work or even cover their utility bills.

A main reason is the failure by political leaders of the country's Serb, Croat and Bosniak peoples to agree on what to do with Bosnia's shared historical and cultural heritage, and whether to even preserve it.
