In this episode of Peace Matters, we examine Bosnia and Herzegovina thirty years after the Dayton Agreement - a moment marked by uncertainty and international attention. The recent elections in Republika Srpska have reopened debates about public sentiment in the entity, the resilience of ethno-political divisions, and whether new leadership signals real change or continued dominance by entrenched elites.We explore how Bosnia's institutions have evolved since Dayton and whether the country remains locked in a cycle of political deadlock sustained by patronage, constitutional rigidity, and competing nationalisms. At the same time, we look outward: how the United States, the European Union, Russia, and neighboring states such as Serbia, Croatia, and Hungary are shaping the country's trajectory through sanctions, diplomacy, and strategic alliances - raising the question of what Bosnia's future might look like if international supervision were strengthened, reformed, or removed altogether.Guests:Ferenc Németh is a Western Balkans expert and a PhD Candidate at the Corvinus University of Budapest.

Bei den Verhandlungen zwischen den USA und der Ukraine geht es um einen Friedensvertrag, den Washington zuvor vorgelegt hatte. Es seien bisher intensive Gespräche gewesen, sagt US-Aussenminister Marco Rubio vor den Medien. Details könne er aber noch nicht bekannt geben, es gebe noch viel zu tun. Weitere Themen: · Der serbische Landesteil von Bosnien-Herzegowina, die Republika Srpska, hat einen neuen Präsidenten gewählt. Der Kandidat der serbischen Nationalisten habe sich durchsetzen können, so das vorläufige Ergebnis der Wahlkommission. Der bisherige Präsident Milorad Dodik war wegen separatistischen Aktivitäten abgesetzt worden. · In Slowenien soll die Sterbehilfe verboten bleiben. 53 Prozent haben bei einer Volksabstimmung ein entsprechendes Gesetz abgelehnt. Das Parlament hatte den Plänen im Sommer zugestimmt. Die katholische Kirche und die konservative Opposition hatten daraufhin jedoch gegen das Gesetz mobil gemacht und die Abstimmung erwirkt. · Jair Bolsonaro, der ehemalige Präsident Brasiliens, fordert, dass er aus der Haft entlassen und erneut unter Hausarrest gestellt wird. Seine Verteidiger haben einen entsprechenden Antrag gestellt. Bolsonaro war im September zu 27 Jahren Haft verurteilt worden, weil er nach seiner Wahlniederlage 2022 einen Putsch geplant haben soll.

Na prijevremenim izborima za predsjednika Republike Srpske pobijedio je Siniša Karan, kandidat SNSD-a Milorada Dodika. Politički smjer time ostaje nepromijenjen. Opozicija ne prihvaća izborni rezultat, vjeruje da je pokradena. Specifičnost ovih izbora, osim činjenice da ih nisu željeli ni vlast ni opozicija, je povijesno mala izlaznost upisanih birača. Što to znači za budućnost RS, govori Dragan Maksimović. Maja Marić analizira s politikologinjom Tanjom Topić rezultate ovih izbora. Von Maja Maric.

Bosna i Hercegovina je u teškom šoku nakon velike tragedije u Tuzli. Požar u tuzlanskom Domu penzionera odnio je čak 13 života, a istovremeno se još nisu smirile tenzije nakon otkrivanja afere o zlostavljanju štićenica doma za djecu bez roditelja.

Vučić najavio moguću nabavku oružja od Kine, i optužio susjede da prave vojni savez protiv Srbije. Dan nakon što je Republika Srpska dobila neustavnu Vladu, Izborna komisija tog bh. eniteta odbila da učestvuje u sprovođenju predsjedničkih izbora 23.novembra. Kako nasilni ekstremizam pogađa Kosovo?

As they say in the Economist: "Serbia is at a crossroads..." Anti-corruption protests after the collapse of the station roof in Novi Sad have not gone away, now many months after the event. The country's leader, President Vučić, is under pressure as never before, after 13 years in power. He has offered 'televised dialogues': his opponents have declined. The standoff continues. Meanwhile, in the tiny breakaway relic of the Bosnian War, Republika Srpska, the crossroads has come to a fork.In February 2025, the President of the RS region of Bosnia, Milorad Dodik, was stripped of his office, for planning to hold an independence referendum to break away from Bosnia. He was handed a one-year prison sentence plus a six-year political ban. Christian Schmidt, Bosnia's High Representative, froze budgetary support for RS ruling parties after attempts to arrest Dodik were thwarted by Republika Srpska police. Two concurrent crises, oddly twinned: as we all know, when Serbia goes off, the world needs to stand well back. Miša Đurković is a Principal Research Fellow and Director at the Institute of European Studies in Belgrade. This week, he joins us to unpack the dense politics of this geopolitical pocket rocket.

Felértékelődött az utóbbi években a Balkán világpolitikai jelentősége, elsősorban a Szerbiában és Bosznia-Hercegovinában található bőséges lítiumlelőhelyek miatt. A nagyhatalmak és külföldi cégek mellett pedig Magyarország is keresi a helyét a térségben. Orbán Viktor feltűnően jó kapcsolatot ápol a Republika Srpska elítélt vezetőjével, Milorad Dodikkal, valamint Alekszandar Vucsics szerb elnökkel, aki az utóbbi hónapokban komoly tömegtüntetésekkel nézett szembe. Dodik támogatásával Orbán veszélyes játszmába fogott, és nem világos, hogyan jöhet ki Magyarország jól a mostani balkáni történésekből.

Bosna i Hercegovina se po tko zna koji put od svog utemljenja prije tridesetak godina nalazi u državnoj krizi koju je opet izazvao vrh Republike Srpske svojim izazivanjem sukoba sa središnjim vlastima i Visokim predstavnikom Christianom Schmidtom. Nenad Kreizer razgovara s pravnicom i bivšom političarkom Almom Čolo i sarajevskim dopisnikom Amirom Sužnjem o apsurditetima koje sa sobom donosi bosanskohercegovačka politička svakodnevica.

In questo episodio di Dazebao, vi porto in Bosnia Erzegovina, un paese ai confini d'Europa dove cresce la tensione verso una possibile secessione. Mentre il mondo guarda ai colloqui tra russi e americani, a Sarajevo l'aria è pesante e Milorad Dodik sfida tutti, alimentando il sogno di separare la Republika Srpska. Ripercorriamo le radici del problema, dagli accordi di Dayton a oggi, e scopriamo come questa crisi potrebbe travolgere i Balcani e destabilizzare l'Unione Europea. Pronti per un salto nei Balcani?

Einmal mehr müssen sich unsere Hosts mit Bosnien-Herzegowina befassen. Und mit jenem Mann, der in den deutschen Medien mit Vorliebe als "Serbenführer" tituliert wird. Denn seit letztem Monat ist Milorad Dodik, Präsident der Teilentität Republika Srpska, ein verurteilter Strafttäter. Und schuld daran sind natürlich mal wieder die Deutschen. Streng genommen eigentlich nur ein Deutscher. Christian Schmidt hat nämlich wieder einmal zugeschlagen und die Grundlage dafür gelegt, dass Dodik Ende Februar nicht nur zu einer Freiheitsstrafe von einem Jahr verurteilt wurde, sondern ihm zugleich für sechs Jahre untersagt wurde, politische Ämter auszuüben. Komischerweise ist der "Serbenführer" aber immer noch im Amt und jettet fröhlich durch die Welt, um sich mit allerlei "Führern" anderer Staaten zu unterhalten. In Bosnien-Herzegowina fragt man sich nun: Wie geht es weiter? Setzt Dodik seinen Sezessionskurs fort? Und warum verhaftet ihn eigentlich niemand? Diese und weitere Fragen im Zusammenhang mit dem "Urteil von Sarajevo" diskutieren Krsto und Danijel in dieser Folge. Außerdem erfahrt ihr, was es Neues von den Protesten in Serbien gibt, warum Tik Tok in Albanien verboten wurde und warum es, wenn bei Euch nur kaltes Wasser aus der Dusche kommt, gar nicht so unwahrscheinlich ist, dass mal wieder die Serben dahinter stecken.

Milorad Dodik već godinama skrbi za negativne medijske napise i simbol je političke krize u Bosni i Hercegovini. Najnoviji skandal vezan je uz protjerivanje njemačke državne tajnice s teritorija Republike Srpske. No koji je izlaz iz serije kriza koje svojim postupcima uzrokuje predsjednik RS-a?

Daljnji razvoj političke krize u kojoj se nalazi Bosna i Hercegovina, zavisi od toga kakva će biti politička sudbina Milorada Dodika, koji je, kako smatraju brojni analitičari, svojim odlukama, a posebno prijetnjama i ucjenama, unio velike podjele i u samoj Republici Srpskoj. Je li ovo konačan rasplet bosanskohercegovačkog političkog čvora i šta će taj rasplet donijeti? Maja Marić razgovara o budućnosti Dodika s političkom analitičarkom Ivanom Marić, a zatim i kolegom Amirom Sužnjem iz Sarajeva. Von Maja Maric.

Tensione alle stelle in Bosnia-Erzegovina, dove la Procura statale ha emanato un ordine di arresto per Milorad Dodik, il leader nazionalista serbo-bosniaco e presidente della Republika Srpska con l'accusa di attentato all'ordine costituzionale. Provvedimento che acuisce il duro braccio di ferro tra le autorità centrali della Bosnia-Erzegovina a Sarajevo e il leader serbo-bosniaco, da tempo nell'occhio del ciclone e nel mirino della comunità internazionale per le sue crescenti aspirazioni separatiste. Ci risiamo? O forse siamo in un altrove comunque molto pericoloso? Di certo a 30 anni da Dayton la "pace giusta" in Bosnia non c'è. Ne parliamo con Simone Malavolti, storico dei paesi jugoslavi e dei Balcani occidentali nell'età contemporanea, autore di Nazionalismi e "pulizia etnica" in Bosnia-Erzegovina.

Weiter geht es mit unserer Doppelfolge zu Nikola Tesla, dem vielleicht bekanntesten national-fluiden Wissenschaftler aller Zeiten. Nachdem Krsto und Danijel in der ersten Folge sein Genie und seinen kometenhaften Aufstieg abgefeiert haben, geht es hier nun um die zweite Hälfte seines Lebens. Und weil es auf dem Ballaballa-Balkan nunmal keine Ikonen ohne dunkle Seiten gibt, bietet die alles, was man sich wünschen kann: Unbeglichene Rechnungen, Größenwahnsinn, Außerirdische und Verschwörungstheorien. Und natürlich wird endlich die Frage geklärt, ob Tesla nun Serbe, Kroate oder Albaner war. Nebenbei erfahrt Ihr, warum es Danijel freut, wenn andere Menschen weinen, warum Krsto nach seinem Skoplje-Aufenthalt die Schreibhand schmerzt und was Kinder in der Republika Srpska demnächst alles über Radovan Karadžić und Ratko Mladić erfahren....und was nicht.

U desetoj epizodi Radar Foruma stavove su ukrstili advokati Sead Spahović i Novak Lukić koji su pokušali da proniknu u kompleksne i često kontroverzne teme koje su oblikovale ratnu istoriju Balkana. U svojoj karijeri, Lukić je bio branilac u nekoliko visokoprofilnih slučajeva pred sudom u Hagu, uključujući i slučaj Momčila Perišića, bivšeg načelnika Generalštaba Vojske Jugoslavije.​ S druge strane, Spahović, kao renomirani advokat, je aktivno učestvovao u brojnim slučajevima vezanim za ratne zločine, te je poznat po svojim stavovima i javnim nastupima koji se bave pitanjima negiranja genocida. Spahović je provocirao debatu pitanjem o legalitetu i legitimnosti Haškog tribunala navodeći da su sve vlade, i Miloševićeva i Koštuničina, sarađivale sa sudom, što Lukić nije osporio navodeći da za njega legitimitet nije upitan, jer nije ni za državu Srbiju. Domaćin je dalje hteo da razjasni tumačenje presude Međunarodnog suda pravde o Srebrenici u kontekstu često zloupotrebljavanog termina „genocidan narod“. „Izgleda ima nekih koji su tako protumačili. Apsolutno se nijednom rečju nigde ne pominje, uopšte pojam genocidan narod ne postoji. Postoji nešto što se korsti često kao „genocidna politika“, problem je genocidne države koja se ovde pominje u nekoj ravni Republike Srpske, da će onda Republika Srpska biti proglašena genocidnom republikom, a to je apsolutno protiv onoga što je sadržaj presude. MSP je rekao u svojoj presudi, posebno analizirajući taj prvi period, do Srebrenice, da nema nijedna, ni odluka, niti dokaz koji ukazuje na postojanje genocidne namere bilo kog lica iz vlasti Republike Srpske u tom periodu. Čak citiraju čuvenu odluku od šest strateških ciljeva Republike Srpske ‘92. godine. Znači, eksplicitno su rekli da Republika Srpska nije zasnovana kao genocidna tvorevina, a opet jasno poručili da su određeni članovi Glavnog štaba Vojske Republike Srpske izvršili genocid i onda posle iz toga proizilazi odgovornost države za konvenciju o genocidu, to je drugi deo priče“. Sead se nadovezao pitanjem „šta je problem da to postane javna istina, zašto se stalno pumpa ta priča i ta paranoja, šta je osnov, odakle to dolazi?“. „Iz želje da se stvori neprijatelj“, dodao je Lukić.

In this episode of War & Peace, Olga speaks with Crisis Group's consulting senior Balkans analyst Marko Prelec about the enduring political and ethnic tensions in the Western Balkans. They discuss the looming risk of Bosnia and Herzegovina breaking up amid secessionist threats by authorities in Republika Srpska and grievances among Bosnia's ethnic groups with its political system and its international supervision. They talk about the challenges of reconciliation in Bosnia as the country commemorates the anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide this month. They then unpack the tensions between Kosovo and Serbia and Pristina's efforts to assert authority in the Serb-majority north of the country. They also ask about the prospects of EU enlargement to the region and the lessons identified from Balkan efforts to remember, build on, and move past contentious histories.

//The Wire//2200Z March 27, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS RISE IN SERBIA. NO NEW DETAILS ON BALTIMORE BRIDGE COLLISION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Serbia: Indications and warnings of potential domestic issues have arisen over the past 24 hours. Details are sketchy at best, but yesterday Serbian President Vucic posted a cryptic message on social media, indicating an undisclosed issue regarding the national interests of Serbia. Specifically making references to an armed conflict, many Serbs have questions regarding what was meant by the message.-HomeFront-Maryland: Very few details emerge following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The search has been called off for the six missing construction workers that fell into the water during the collapse. A substantial bottleneck of maritime traffic has occurred via vessels that were bound for the Port of Baltimore as the disaster occurred. So far around a dozen vessels are currently at anchor in Chesapeake Bay, awaiting the rescheduling of port calls to other terminals.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Though the situation in Serbia is far from clear, this morning, multiple Bosnian social media users (all likely citing the same source) suggested that President Dodik (the separatist leader of the autonomous Republika Srpska region of Bosnia) was to be arrested for unknown reasons. Though single-source reporting isn't verifiable, these highly unconfirmed details may be very early indicators of potential domestic issues both within Serbia, and diplomatically with Bosnia. Shenanigans are never far from the reality of the region, especially as relations have remained tepid (at best) throughout the region for decades. If conflict (either diplomatically, or more kinetically) is to occur between Serbia and Bosnia regarding the long-disputed region of Srpska, these minor details may be worth monitoring as minute disputes in the region have historically become inflamed for much less.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

The Platform for Progress is involved with ongoing discussion regarding the formation of a coalition in Republika Srpska.

We recently spoke about the process, and the pros and cons of such an endeavor.

In Bosnien-Herzegowina läuft einiges schief. Das Land wird immer wieder als politisch disfunktional bezeichnet. Ein großes Problem ist der serbisch-dominierte Landesteil "Republika Srpska". Er ist per Verfassung an Bosnien-Herzegowina gebunden, doch die nationalistische serbische Führung der Republika Srpska denkt gar nicht daran kooperativ mitzumachen, sondern versucht den Gesamtstaat Bosnien-Herzegowina auszuhölen, damit es irgendwann mal zu einem Zerfall und einer Abspaltung der Republika Srpska kommen kann. Nun hat sich die politische Lage soweit zugesepitzt, dass der Präsident der Republika Sprska Milorad Dodik vor Gericht steht. Oliver Soos über den Machtpoker der Serben in Bosnien-Herzegowina.
