BrÄ?ko (Cyrilic: Брчкo) is a city in northern Bosnia and Herzegovina.
BrÄ?ko is the seat of the BrÄ?ko District, an independent unit of local self-government created on the territory of Republika Srpska and Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina following an arbitration process; the process is viewed as violation of the Dayton Peace Accords because it created the district while it could only arbitrate the disputed portion of the Inter-Entity Boundary Line. The local administration is aided by an international supervisory regime headed by Susan Johnson of the United States of America.
BrÄ?ko has the largest port in Bosnia, on the Sava river. It is also home to an economics faculty and to a rather important theater festival.
The city's most famous citizen is Lepa Brena (real name Fahreta Jahić Živojinović), a Bosnian and Serbian popular folk music singer.
