  • 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.” 5 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.” 5 hours ago

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.”

“Dodik survives on conflict. He hates stability because he then has to explain why we are living like we do. Mr. Dodik plays on the emotions of his people and doesn't care about the consequences.”

“[Having separate armies - Republika Srpska army and Bosnian army] It means conflict, war, and death. Tell us about your projections, Mr Dodik: what does the RS army represent? Do we have money for tanks, airplanes? The conditions to put up checkpoints at the entity line? Give your answers to the citizens.”

“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.”

“The RS [Republika Srpska] entity assembly has officially adopted a proposal to create its own drug procurement agency; the first of its para-state offices following Dodik's 'pull out' from BiH [Bosnia and Herzegovina] institutions. Critical that BIH authorities & international community respond credibly to this putsch. This is secession in all but name. And he's testing the waters. If Dodik and his masters in Moscow and Belgrade feel the response here is weak - which I fear it is likely to be - they're going to escalate even further.”

“Mono-ethnic institutions like the ones Mr. Dodik plans to re-create are vehicles for genocide in the 1990s. Police, military, intelligence, and security services were at the centre of organised and systematic violence against non-Serbs. These institutions considered Bosniaks' existence an existential threat. If we fail to deter these threats, the ultimate price we will pay is another Srebrenica [genocide].”

“The EU's waning soft power will slow down the democratisation process in the region and open space for other countries to walk in. There's no such a thing as a limbo in international relations … in the last… particularly five years let's say, China has been filling in the space which is neglected by Brussels. Moscow sees this as an opportunity and will increase its support to groups and politicians like Dodik [Milorad Dodik] in Bosnia or [Serbian President Aleksandar] Vucic in Belgrade or will do its best to keep the situation in Kosovo frozen.”

“Behind that is the need to protect Dodik's own position and the SNSD structures, which in RS [Republika Srpska] have created a kind of kleptocratic-clientelistic rule, which behind the screen of caring for the Serbian people and nationalist rhetoric ultimately takes care of itself. The position of Dodik and SNSD [Alliance of Independent Social Democrats] is well shaken in some parts of RS and they feel it. It is also a reason for great nervousness and intensified ethnonationalism rhetoric and artificially raising tensions and creating crises. For politicians like Milorad Dodik, ready to do anything to stay in power and protect their own privileges and the privileges of the clique, there is no life outside of politics.”

“The Republika Srpska could then secede if it has the support of Serbia and Russia and the acquiescence of Croatia. Croatia is in a position where it could decide the issue either way. If the Republika Srpska attempts to secede with the support of Croatia as well as Serbia, it might be difficult for the international community to prevent it. Bosnia’s situation is precarious… It is possible that, whatever [Dodik’s] strategy is, his constant talk of secession could eventually generate a momentum that he will not be able to control, and that he will become the prisoner of his own rhetoric.”
