Former top envoy warns Bosnia heading for break-up: report
22 January 2012, 22:52 CET

(SARAJEVO) - Bosnia is heading for a break-up due to chronic failures of its joint institutions, former top international envoy to the country Paddy Ashdown warned Sunday urging EU to take a stronger stance.

"I do believe that the danger is that Bosnia becomes a black hole of dysfunctionality," British politician Ashdown told the Sarajevo-based Dnevni Avaz daily.

"The dynamics in Bosnia-Hercegovina are moving towards dissolution, towards break-up, not unity," he warned.

Since the end of its 1992-95 war, Bosnia remains split into two semi-independent entities -- the Muslim-Croat Federation and the Serbs' Republika Srpska. The two share weak central institutions, while each has its own government.

Tuesday, 22 May 2012 Almost 17 years after the end of the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina is still an international protectorate. The unelected UN/EU “International High Representative” (IHR) still enjoys arbitrary and dictatorial powers. Foreign meddling has stifled the development of local democracy. It has prevented Bosnia’s three constituent nations – Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks from developing a consensus on the future of the country.

Bosnia has not been a state for the past half-millenium, it is not a state today but a foreign protectorate, and it has no viable prospects of becoming a state in the foreseeable future. In fact, there isn’t much to disintegrate to start with.

In the spring of 1992 Bosnia disintegrated because the Serbs did not want it. Today it cannot be put together again because neither Bosniaks nor Croats want it in its current form. In reality, Bosnia-Herzegovina is an unfinished state for which nobody cares internally. It lingers on because nobody outside of it knows what to do with it. Over the next decade it will simply follow the path of all other post-communist federations, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia. It may be but a matter of time when someone will have to ask for an international team of experts to come and diagnose death

Als Bosnië-Herzegovina uiteenvalt dan zijn er drie opties voor de opdeling van het land.

1. Onafhankelijke Bosnisch-Kroatische federatie en onafhankelijke republiek Sprska.

2. Republiek Sprska wordt bij Servië gevoegd. De Bosnisch-Kroatische Federatie word onafhankelijk.

3. Republiek Sprska wordt bij Servië gevoegd. De gebieden met Kroatische bevolking worden bij Kroatië gevoegd en de Bosniakken krijgen hun eigen staat: Bosnië.
