  • Sue Mi Terry
    Sue Mi Terry “Now is not the time to lift sanctions, either. Now, in fact, is the time to double down. If Biden wants to prevent North Korea from acting out, he needs to first provide the government with new incentives to talk-and that means new restrictions Washington can use as carrots. Biden, in other words, needs to take North Korean policy off autopilot and launch a proactive effort to deter Pyongyang. Otherwise, he risks encouraging an already emboldened Kim to stage a major provocation.” 7 hours ago
  • Christopher Cavoli
    Christopher Cavoli “Russians don't have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough. More to the point, they don't have the skill and capability to do it, to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage. They do have the ability to make local advances and they have done some of that.” 8 hours ago

Situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Page with all the IPSEs stored in the archive related to the Context Situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“The announcements of Dodik and Republika Srpska are extremely dangerous and playing with the integrity of the state, and this is for us a no-go. Bosnia and the Balkans must not become a playground for actors outside Europe.”

“The nationalist and separatist rhetoric is increasing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and jeopardising the stability and even the integrity of the country. [The] ministers will have to take a decision on how to stop these dynamics in Bosnia and Herzegovina and to avoid that the country can fall apart in pieces. This is a critical situation.”

“The High Representative needs to present a plan for solving the crisis, and the US, EU Member States need to fully support him in putting that plan into practice. The important thing here is not to give in to Dodik's [Milorad Dodik] salami-slicing tactics, but to respond to any escalation with credible threat of penalties - sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans.”

“Empty words only encourage Dodik [Milorad Dodik] and his regime to continue with their secessionist moves. The red line is moving down all the time. What was unimaginable for anyone to say, let alone do, in 2005, is completely normal today. In other words, Dodik is doing all this because he understands that the international community is not going to react properly.”

“We have to do two things - one is to ensure that BiH shares those growth parameters with the rest of the region, and the other is for Europe to recognize the economic potential that this region has. I am fully convinced that Europe will understand, within a reasonable period of time, that you need to be part of the European Union. Of course, I talked to my interlocutors about all these topics, but it is also very important to emphasize that what we need to ensure is that BiH remains united, sovereign, with preserved territorial integrity.”

“Territorial integrity and respect for the existing constitutional order, taking into account the same rights for all, are the basis for the coexistence of the people in BiH and the solution of current dilemmas. The future lies in BiH's full sovereignty and EU membership.”

“It requires a security response such as reinforcing EUFOR, which is deployed to ensure a safe and secure environment but has been shrinking and below deterrent capability for more than a decade. There's more than enough weaponry, and more than enough vulnerable people to allow something very bad to happen. The potential for miscalculation among the actors who have coercive power in Bosnia is very, very high. I think it is a very legitimate fear that unless this is addressed seriously with security tools in the immediate term - within days, weeks, not months - it is ever more likely that something bad will happen that not might be planned but will lead to something that will develop a dynamic of its own.”

“They are genocide survivors, mothers or seniors that live alone. I was called to meet with them and talk, but I have no words of consolation because I, myself, cannot handle what is happening in Bosnia. This is a difficult situation. There is a lot of talk, whispering and stories circulating, just like it was in the 1990s before the war broke out. Dodik [Milorad Dodik] is doing his job, he's not going back, but the international community which betrayed us in 1995 is trying to betray us again. They should have done something a long time ago … They all say: 'We're watching, we're observing, we're following' … but in reality, they've divided Bosnia.”
