  • Itamar Yaar
    Itamar Yaar “The American move to pause big bomb transfers is largely symbolic. But it's a sign of trouble and could become more of a problem if it is sustained. It's not some kind of American embargo on American munitions support, but I think it's some kind of diplomatic message to Mr Netanyahu that he needs to take into consideration American interests more than he has over the last few months. It's kind of a signal, a 'be careful'.” 11 hours ago
  • Vitalii Barabash
    Vitalii Barabash “Around 700 people stayed in Avdiivka. The situation is not easy; regular checks are ongoing. The excitement of the majority of those who remained and waited for the Russians has long faded. Even those who didn't care admit now that it was far better under Ukraine's control. Because there is no evidence of democracy or that it was 'liberators' that came to them.” 13 hours ago
  • Alan Boswell
    Alan Boswell “The Sudanese have basically been forgotten, obviously there's the war in Gaza which has taken a lot of attention. Frankly it would take very high-level political focus on trying to pressure those who are arming the various sides and have the actual belligerence themselves to stop this. Obviously, the United Nations tools are not very functional.” 15 hours ago
  • Benjamin Netanyahu
    Benjamin Netanyahu “No amount of pressure … will stop Israel from defending itself and achieving its war objectives. Eighty years ago in the Holocaust, the Jewish people were totally defenceless against those who sought our destruction. No nation came to our aid. I pledge here today from Jerusalem on this Holocaust Remembrance Day: If Israel is forced to stand alone, Israel will stand alone. But we know we are not alone because countless decent people around the world support our just cause.” 18 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “We know what the exorbitance of such ambitions leads to. Russia will do everything to prevent a global clash. But at the same time, we will not allow anyone to threaten us. Our strategic forces are always in a state of combat readiness.” 18 hours ago

“Those who claim that Republika Srpska is isolated probably think that we should be sitting in [U.S. President Joe] Biden's office and watching him stumble. Let them say what they want. After Lukashenka, I will talk with Putin in two or three days, then with the president of Tatarstan [Rustam Minnikhanov].”

“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.”

“[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.”

“Calls for secession and steps to weaken the whole state, especially from Republika Srpska and from Milorad Dodik, the Serbian member of the three-member presidency, are totally irresponsible and unacceptable.”

“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.”

“The agreement we have given for the defense law, the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council, and the Indirect Taxation Authority will be withdrawn. We will withdraw consent for the [joint] army in a vote in the Serb-run Republika Srpska parliament.”

“Black Sea is essentially a region Russia itself is a part of. It cannot overreach itself in that environment. For Kremlin, the most serious potential threat from Black Sea region is Ukraine joining NATO or hosting a Western army. Currently this seems remote, but Ukraine is a country that has become most hostile towards Russia than any other country in the world. It [Western Balkans] does not pose a threat to Russia and does not offer many opportunities. It is in the Western sphere of influence, including Serbia and Republika Srpska. Russia is using WB [Western Balkans], particularly Serbia, for public relations – to show that there are leaders in Europe that are rejecting that narrative of Russia as an aggressor.”

“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.”

“In every possible way [it] tries to slow down the process. The leading politicians [in Republika Srpska] don't care about discovering the remains of missing people due to a very simple reason – the highest percentage of missing people in Bosnia are of Bosniak ethnicity, nearly 85 percent. We recently had a problem with the state when they didn't permit for the MPI [Missing Persons Institute] to buy special vehicles in the sum of 50,000 KM [$30,724].”

“It is very important to stick to our policy that we do not want to accept migrants on the territory of Republika Srpska. Migrants are not Bosnia’s problem, but that of the EU, and it should take full responsibility for that problem.”

“Stop the monster [the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Valentin Inzko] who is trying to impose decisions on us that were not established in the Dayton Agreement; he is a foreigner who will destroy Bosnia, he is taking revenge on Serbs and Croats. We will not officially announce or respect any of his decisions in the RS [Republika Srpska]. If Inzko continues to implement decisions, I will consider beginning the integration of the RS with Serbia.”

“They [Republika Srpska] have spent over $20m on lobbying efforts against Bosnia. Croats have also spent millions on lobbying, while the Federation [entity] has spent $0 because clearly, they must feel that lobbying the US is not necessary. That is not a strategy and naive thinking at best. The Republika Srpska has a long-term plan and a strategy, and while people point fingers at them and say how they will not succeed – I do not think their goal is to have their objective realized today or tomorrow. It is a long term investment into the future.”

“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.”

“Migrants passing through the territory of Republika Srpska will be transported to the final destination (on the boundary line with the USC) and will be shown the way out from there. By recording citizens’ reports to the police, we know where they are and which routes they are taking. Migrants cannot move freely through the territory of Republika Srpska, commit possible crimes and put pressure on the population. I feel for the people of Una-Sana Canton, but we will not stop the practice of gathering migrants and transporting them wherever they want outside Republika Srpska; there will be no collective centres here.”

“Dodik has admitted that he committed and continues to commit the criminal offence of unauthorized wiretapping of third parties, in this case, members of opposition parties. This is a member of the presidency who has admitted a criminal offence in front of the rostrum of the highest legislative body. Since the competent authorities did not react, we must file a criminal complaint”
