  • Daoud Kuttab
    Daoud Kuttab “Throughout this Israeli war on Gaza, there hasn't been a warning publicly made by the US that Israel has heeded. It is indeed unclear to what extent such warnings are just optics of putting pressure on the Israeli government while continuing to support its every move. In this sense, one should take with a grain of salt reports that the Biden administration is holding off one shipment of weapons to Israel to pressure it into halting the full-scale invasion of Rafah.” 5 hours ago
  • Bernie Sanders
    Bernie Sanders “The US must now use ALL its leverage to demand an immediate ceasefire, the end of the attacks on Rafah, and the immediate delivery of massive amounts of humanitarian aid to people living in desperation. Our leverage is clear. Over the years, the United States has provided tens of billions of dollars in military aid to Israel.” 7 hours ago
  • Lloyd Austin
    Lloyd Austin “We've been very clear … from the very beginning that Israel shouldn't launch a major attack into Rafah without accounting for and protecting the civilians that are in that battlespace. We've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment [of weapons].” 7 hours ago
  • Vuk Vuksanović
    Vuk Vuksanović “This visit [Xi Jinping in Belgrade] shows that Serbia has exchanged Russia for China went it comes to its main partner to bargain with the West. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine placed the Serbo-Russian relationship under close monitoring, so the government sees a benefit in playing the Chinese card more often now since it's deemed to be less provocative. The Balkans, and Serbia in particular, have become even more interesting for China now that one branch of the Belt and Road Initiative through Russia and Belarus was effectively cut off with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.” 7 hours ago
  • Aleksandar Vucic
    Aleksandar Vucic “I told him [Xi Jinping] that as the leader of a great power he will be met with respect all over the world, but the reverence and love he encounters in our Serbia will not be found anywhere else. When it comes to cooperation with Beijing, the sky is the limit.” 7 hours ago
  • Catherine Russell
    Catherine Russell “Rafah is now a city of children, who have nowhere safe to go in Gaza. If large-scale military operations start, not only will children be at risk from the violence, but also from chaos and panic, and at a time where their physical and mental states are already weakened.” 11 hours ago
  • Hani Mahmoud
    Hani Mahmoud “You cannot create a safe zone in a war zone. Every time people move from one place to another, they are in search of basic needs and … necessities that are becoming very hard to find right now.” 11 hours ago

Dayton agreement

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Dayton agreement.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“That's enough, we have to stop here,' Mr Nelson [Eric Nelson], don't you think this applies to you as well? It is enough of your interference in the internal affairs of the country where you are an ambassador. Enough of your lessons for your hosts. It is enough, Mr Nelson, that you are silent when others collect weapons 'for God's sake' and when they call for some kind of revenge. I agree, Mr Nelson, that it is enough to bring us illegal international envoys, it is enough to pretend that you protect Dayton peace agreement, and you are massively violating all its provisions on a continuous basis. It is enough, Mr Nelson, to play the role of a democrat and support the long-standing practice of imposing laws, without any basis, of an unelected foreigner, whom you and your country support. It is enough, really enough! Too much.”

“There is absolutely no acceptable reason for glorifying convicted war criminals. My understanding is such that I'm not here to bring my own narratives … it's necessary that we see history, we respect history, especially that we respect victims. I have chosen to come here because I feel accountable, especially as a German who knows that his country contributed to many bad things in this region in the last century. I am not someone who is here for a journey or who has come here to drink coffee or wine, I am here to move certain things forward, which means I understand that task very seriously. Dayton and the Peace Agreement - I really give a recommendation to read those again. We are here to solve problems and I'm convinced that through meaningful discussions and things we can come to adequate results with all three representatives.”

“I'm counting on the close cooperation with the EU and the US. And as far as my duties are concerned, I'll see the BiH Presidency and state institutions as my primary partners, which is in line with the Dayton Peace Agreement and the constitution. With the help of the international community, BiH will return to the international agenda. We will all work together to meet the 14 priorities for BiH's accession to the EU. Work will also be done on the 5 + 2 program, more specifically, I will work on it, and especially on the protection of the territorial integrity of BiH.”

“The High Representative [Valentin Inzko] has thus fulfilled his obligation to the victims, to his conscience, but also to the Dayton Peace Agreement, because the denial of genocide and the celebration of criminals is a mechanism that seriously undermines trust among nations and endangers peace.”

“President Aleksandar Vucic needs to strongly rebuke his Minister Vulin, for his recent statements. Failure to do so confirms Serbia support of the policy of destruction of the Dayton Peace Accords, an ominous threat to Bosnia and Herzegovina who suffered from aggression and genocide 26 years ago!”

“Serbia will start behaving in a way that it has not done so far, and in accordance with what has been signed [in the Dayton agreement]. In accordance with that, the obligation of the High Representative is to periodically report to the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, the Russian Federation and other interested governments, as well as the parties [to the agreement] – and we are an interested party.”

“We cannot talk about the European path without talking about the current political situation in BiH. Many believe that BiH has a systemic error in terms of its existence. There are different opinions – according to one of them, the signing of the Dayton Accords itself began the integration process. The second opinion goes towards unitary country creation, while the third goes towards the need of full autonomy preservation, and the fourth that BiH should disband peacefully. Because of all that, BiH is a much more complex country today, and many even consider it a failure or a country of frozen conflict, which is not able to find a basic internal consensus.”

“It’s time to change the Dayton constitution. The two entities … are the problem. It’s time to get rid of them but in order to do that, you have to beef up the confidence people have in the rule of law and in the protection of their individual rights. A redistribution of power between municipalities and the central government is required as well as a strong, independent judiciary. [In the municipal elections, Bosnians showed they] want to be equal citizens of a respectable, European country. But they have to organise themselves and demand what they want and they haven’t done that yet.”

“Biden’s victory is impossible to overestimate in terms of Bosnia’s trajectory. Bosnia’s system of governance depends on the OHR (Office of High Representative) – which is directly dependent on US support. The Biden administration can make a very big difference in Bosnia precisely because the Dayton Peace Agreement has built-in mechanisms for successful US involvement. US political will was the key missing ingredient. Biden should provide plenty of that.”

“I believe [Biden’s] administration will be more actively engaged, however, it truly is up to Bosnia to lift up its sleeves and get to work. Joe Biden will not rid Bosnia of corruption, nor will he fix Bosnia’s healthcare system, education system or eradicate the system of patronage that is bleeding the country dry. Democracy is not a spectator sport and the citizens of Bosnia have an opportunity to show that they want change in the upcoming [local] elections [on November 15]. Despite Dayton’s enormous success, it enabled a certain level of dysfunction. Bosnia has a unique opportunity in the next four years of the Biden presidency to garner political will and come together in order to reform Dayton. Will that happen? Time will tell, but it will take the will of the people to demand that of their elected representatives.”
