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. Von Nenad Kreizer.

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? I kako se Milorad Dodik iz političke nade pretvorio u noćnu moru Zapada. Nenad Kreizer razgovara s analitičarem Željkom Raljićem i reporterom Draganom Maksimovićem. Von Nenad Kreizer.

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.

Bosna i Hercegovina se nalazi pred jednim od najosjetljivijih trenutaka od potpisivanja Dejtonskog sporazuma. Sutrašnje izricanje presude predsjedniku Republike Srpske Miloradu Dodiku, kao i direktoru Službenog glasnika Republike Srpske, Milošu Lukiću, može dovesti do zatvorske kazne, ali i zabrane obavljanja javnih funkcija. Što očekivati? Je li i ova kriza napuhana ili postoji mogućnost državnog udara? Zašto? Kako? Maja Marić razgovara s profesorom Enverom Kazazom, i kolegom Amirom Sužnjem. Von Maja Maric.

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.

August '94: the popular referendum in Republika Srpska on the Contact Group Plan | The clash between Karadžić and Milošević | The fall of the Autonomous Region of Western Bosnia

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. The president of the Platform, Mirsad Hadźikadić, says forming a coalition with like minded individuals and other parties, will help to strengthen the presence of the Platform there. We recently spoke about the process, and the pros and cons of such an endeavor.

Germany's winter of discontent, the plight of hundreds of British sub-postmasters falsely accused of theft, NATO is looking for a new Secretary General, and Denmark has a new monarch. Also: Turkish espionage arrests, Republika Srpska's controversial national holiday, Abkhazia's government in exile, and Spain's economic gamble.

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.

Albin Sybera discusses with Faris Kočan - assistant professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ljubljana and author of the forthcoming book "Identity, Ontological Security and Europeanisation in Republika Srpska" - the recent EU enlargement report. The report attempts to balance the strategic need to integrate the Western Balkans (WB) and the reforms WB countries need to carry out. Interesting to note are the shared regional narratives prolific in the WB ahead of the 17 December elections in Serbia.

In yet another attempt to bring about a show of unity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Platform for Progress recently opened an office in Banja Luka, which is located in Republika Srpska. Located in the northeastern part of the country, Republika Srpska, and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina are the two entities that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina. I recently spoke with the president of the Platform, Mirsad Hadžkadić, about the significance of opening the office in Republika of Srpska, even though the leadership there is making bold efforts to secede from the country. Hadžikadić also addressed the ongoing strife within the country that continues to rear its ugly head.

  The summer months would typically be a slower period for the Platform for Progress. But such is not the case this year as different organizations within the party are working diligently to make improvements following the restructuring of the Platform earlier this year. One particular focus area is Republika Srpska. During our recent conversation, the president of the Platform, Mirsad Hadzikadić, explained the importance of becoming more established there despite the obstacles that lie ahead of them.

Besa Luci in conversation with Adi Ćerimagić and Augustin Palokaj.In this episode, we talk about the Association of Serb-Majority Municipalities in Kosovo.Arising in 2013 as part of an agreement between Kosovo and Serbia within the EU-mediated dialogue, the Association was promoted as a way to convince Kosovo Serbs to fully enter the Kosovar system, ensure their cultural autonomy and end the Serbian state's parallel structures within Kosovo. Still unimplemented after a decade, it's long been causing controversy.Following the initial 2013 agreement and a follow-up in 2015, Kosovo erupted in political turmoil. For weeks, in both years, the Assembly was brought to a halt by the then-opposition party Vetëvendosje, who argued that the Association was a way for Serbia to undermine Kosovo's sovereignty. The 2015 protests initiated a review by the Constitutional Court, which paradoxically said that aspects of the guiding principles of the Association were not in accordance with the Constitution, but that it was nevertheless a legal obligation for Kosovo.This past March, a much-awaited meeting took place in Ohrid, where Kosovo and Serbia agreed to, but did not sign, the “European Plan” for normalizing relations. Observers paid the most attention to a particular article of the 11-point plan, which would require Kosovo “to ensure an appropriate level of self-management for the Serbian community in Kosovo,” and to do so in accordance with previously reached agreements.Critics of the Association see it as an additional level of governance, “a state within a state,” which will lead to the “bosnification” of Kosovo, referring to the Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, also an imposed creation of the international community. But details are still scarce, and no one seems to actually know what the Association will look like.Two guests discuss the competing narratives around the Association as well as what this process tells us about the region's relationship with the EU and international community at large.Augustin Palokaj is the Brussels correspondent for KOHA group and has been following the dialogue for over a decade. Adi Ćerimagić is a senior analyst at the European Stability Initiative, a European think tank developing policy ideas on South East Europe, asylum policy, human rights and democracy.Other Talking Points is produced by Besa Luci, Aulonë Kadriu and Gentiana Paçarizi. Music and sound mix by PUG musik.This podcast is part of the Human Rightivism project, which is funded by the Embassy of Sweden in Prishtina, implemented by the Community Development Fund through its Human Rightivism Program.

More than two weeks after the elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina on 2 October, the country's political future remains uncertain. While reformist and moderate candidates have seen success in the run for the country's presidency – a position that is shared between members of the Bosniak, Croat and Serb entities – many of Bosnia's underlying political divisions persist. Causing further dispute was the announcement of significant changes to Bosnia's constitution and electoral system on the night of the election by the country's high representative, Christian Schmidt, which were particularly ill-received by some members of the Bosniak community. Meanwhile, Serb leader Milorad Dodik has faced allegations of vote-rigging in the run for president of the semi-autonomous Republika Srpska leading to a recount of ballots in the region. In this episode of War & Peace, Olga Oliker and Elissa Jobson speak with Marko Prelec, Crisis Group's senior consulting analyst for the Balkans, about what happened at the Bosnian elections, the main dispute between Bosnia's political entities and where the country is headed. They talk about Bosnia's highly complicated election system and why it has been the cause of much friction between members of the Bosniak, Croat and Serb communities in the country. They address the intervention by the high representative on election night and whether this move had any merit despite being highly controversial. They also talk about the impact of the war in Ukraine on Bosnia and how it has affected its prospects for European Union accession. Finally, they assess whether the political divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina are surmountable and how a potential return to violence in the country can be prevented.

Some 3.3 million people in Bosnia and Herzegovina headed to the polls to choose legislators as well as the three members of the presidential council.But after polls closed, the country's peace overseer, High Representative Christian Schmidt, announced changes to the election law.Schmidt says the changes will create a more effective government, working between the country's two entities: Republika Srpska, made up of predominantly Bosnian Serbs, and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, made up of mainly Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats.Find out what this means for the country as Christian Schmidt talks to Al Jazeera.Subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/AJSubscribeFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglishFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeeraCheck our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/@AljazeeraEnglish#Aljazeeraenglish#News

La Bosnie-Herzégovine se rend aux urnes, le dimanche 2 octobre 2022, pour d'importantes élections générales dans un climat extrêmement tendu. Près de trente ans après un conflit intercommunautaire sanglant, les divisions ethniques pèsent de nouveau sur l'intégrité du pays. Une fédération malmenée par les menaces sécessionnistes des Serbes orthodoxes et les critiques des Croates catholiques qui ne veulent plus cohabiter avec les Bosniaques musulmans. Dans l'entité serbe du pays, dans la Republika Srpska, les nationalistes au pouvoir depuis 16 ans font campagne sur l'indépendance de l'entité serbe. Mais avec une opinion lassée des scandales de corruption et qui tente de survivre face aux difficultés économiques, l'opposition pourrait bien créer la surprise dimanche. Le reportage dans la capitale de la Republika Srpska de Louis Seiller.   Il y a 100 ans, en septembre 1922, la ville portuaire que les Grecs appellent Smyrne et les Turcs Izmir, sur la côte anatolienne est le théâtre de massacres, avant d'être incendiée par les nationalistes turcs. Pour les Grecs, c'est «la grande catastrophe», près d'un million et demi de réfugiés fuient Smyrne et l'Asie Mineure. C'est une proportion énorme des Grecs à l'époque, entre un quart et un tiers de la population. Cet afflux de réfugiés, constitue donc aujourd'hui encore un traumatisme national en Grèce qu'Ankara et Erdogan n'hésite pas à réactiver comme on a pu le voir, ces dernières semaines, avec des tensions qui sont remontées d'un cran entre la Grèce et la Turquie. Les explications d'Anne Andlauer à Istanbul. Du côté de la Grèce, cette prise d'Izmir par les Turcs et l'exode massif de Grecs qui a suivi, reste un épisode particulièrement douloureux de l'histoire grecque. Joël Bronner s'est rendu auprès des descendants de cette minorité hellénophone. Un siècle plus tard, le traumatisme de cet exode est toujours bien vivace. Les photos de cette fuite de centaines de milliers de tonnes de méthane à la surface de la mer Baltique sur les gazoducs au large du Danemark ont fait le tour du monde. Des fuites qui font craindre un véritable «désastre environnemental» et qui surviennent au moment même où le pays scandinave vient de s'engager à aider financièrement les pays touchés par des catastrophes climatiques. Le Danemark est le premier pays riche qui se dit prêt à payer pour les dommages causés par le réchauffement climatique dans les pays plus pauvres, Clémence Penard.

Am Sonntag sind Wahlen in Bosnien und Herzegowina und dabei handelt es sich um die wohl kompliziertesten Wahlen der Welt. Denn der 3,3-Millionen-Einwohner- Staat ist dreigeteilt, in die bosnisch-kroatische Föderation, in die serbisch dominierte Republika Srpska und in einen Sonder- Distrikt Brcko das Ganze mit drei verschiedenen Ethnien. Und: die Nationalisten aller drei Ethnien geben in Bosnien den Ton an. Bosnien vor den Wahlen - ein gespaltenes Land

Skrupellose Politiker haben in letzter Zeit immer offener an der Demontage Bosnien-Herzegowinas gearbeitet. Gezielt haben sie die Kriegs-Wunden aus den 90er Jahren wieder aufgerissen. Jetzt aber hat der Krieg in der Ukraine dem Westen bewusst gemacht, dass das zu gefährlich ist. Am lautesten macht sich Serben-Führer Milorad Dodik bemerkbar. Mit einer Reihe von Gesetzen stellt er die Existenz von Bosnien-Herzegowina in Frage und spurt eine Abspaltung seines Landesteils, der Republika Srpska, vor. Viel subtiler aber genauso rücksichtslos arbeitet Kroaten-Führer Dragan Covic. Er legt den halben Staat lahm und stellt die Wahlen im Herbst in Frage, um seine Pläne durchzudrücken. Aber auch bei der dritten und grössten Bevölkerungsgruppe, den Bosniaken, sieht es ähnlich aus. Auch Bakir Izetbegovic bewirtschaftet virtuos die Angst vor neuer Gewalt. Im Lauf des letzten Jahres betrieben die drei ihre Politik immer hemmungsloser und die Gefahr wuchs, dass die Situation ausser Kontrolle gerät. Als dann Russland die Ukraine überfiel, wurde dem Westen klar, dass er aktiv werden muss, denn Russland hat offensichtlich ein Interesse an der Destabilisierung des Balkans, heizt die Situation seinerseits an. Die entscheidende Figur, um in Bosnien-Herzegowina mässigend zu wirken, ist der sogenannte Hohe Repräsentant, Christian Schmidt. Seine Aufgabe ist es, das Friedens-Abkommen von Dayton in Bosnien durchzusetzen. Die Reportage aus Banja Luka und Sarajevo zeigt, mit welchen Problemen es der Hohe Repräsentant zu tun hat, wie gross die Erwartungen der Bevölkerung an ihn sind und warum er Zuversicht schöpft, dass eine Eskalation doch verhindert werden kann.

The Western Balkans, a region defined in part by not being in the European Union, also contains several countries that were devastated by war in the 1990s. Now it faces new troubles, driven in part by the legacies of the old. Bosnia and Herzegovina is confronted with calls for secession in the autonomous Serb-dominated region, Republika Srpska, as well as the ongoing electoral grievances of its Croat minority. Meanwhile, efforts to resolve Kosovo's dispute with Serbia over its independence have come to a standstill, leaving minority communities on both sides of the border vulnerable.This week on War & Peace, Olga Oliker talks to Marko Prelec, Crisis Group's Consulting Senior Analyst for the Balkans, about why ethnic tensions persist in the region and whether there is any risk of a return to conflict. They discuss the prospects for European integration, asking whether the promise of EU membership remains an effective incentive for resolving these longstanding disputes. They also consider what impact Russia's invasion of Ukraine has had for stability in the Western Balkans, a region where painful memories of war are still very salient today.For more of Crisis Group's analysis, make sure to check out our Balkans regional page and keep an eye out for our upcoming report on the risk of instability in the Western Balkans.

For the last several months there has been talk of another war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is nothing unusual during a general election year in the country. However, this time, it is being fueled by talk of Republika Srpska ceding from the country and Croat nationalist leaders efforts to change the current electoral laws in the country. And then the crisis in Ukraine has many fearing could Bosina and Herzegovina be in the sites of Russia as well. I spoke with the president of the Platform for Progress, Mirsad Hadžikadić, about the ongoing crises within Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the region. Issues that have been at the forefront of conversations during ongoing town hall meetings across the country.
