  • 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.” 11 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.” 11 hours ago
  • Nazar Voloshin

“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.”

“I understand that 'both-sideism' is always a safe option for every diplomat, but the consequences of such an approach are well known from the 1990s. If they are not willing to react because of the people of Bosnia, they should do it at least because of the leaders in their countries who cannot afford yet another refugee crisis or a Russian-backed conflict right next to the NATO borders. Pro-Bosnian political leaders and state institutions must be prepared for dangerous scenarios.”

“I'm very happy that Matt [Palmer] is sticking around to do that part because he's got just tremendous knowledge, tremendous contacts, and a great vision for how elections in Bosnia should work.”

“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.”

“Through tripartite diplomacy, Secretary Blinken made it known that the United States intends to intensify its engagement in order to resolve the dispute over Kosovo, and finally bring BiH [Bosnia and Herzegovina] out of a state of political paralysis. It remains unclear how Belgrade and Pristina will interpret his call for 'flexibility', while the demand for limited constitutional changes in BiH is a welcome announcement of the necessary reforms of a fossilized system. The 'offensive' on three fronts confirms that the United States wants to be present in the Western Balkans and not to leave the region to Russia and China.”

“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.”
