Bosnia has a chance to survive only as a union of very loose federal units, Republic of Srpska (RS) Prime Minister Milorad Dodik says. He spoke for Vienna daily Der Standard to note that the Serb entity "must not be touched". "Bosnia's chance as union of loose federal units" “Basically, we have nothing against Bosnia, but we are certainly not for the kind of Bosnia which Sarajevo has in mind. Bosnia has a chance to survive as a union of very loose federal units,” Dodik explained. He added that "all this time, ever since the war, Bosnia had been preserved as one whole just because the international community wanted to see it as such". “It got international legitimacy because it was recognized by the big countries. However, Bosnia has not succeeded in establishing its internal legitimacy and sovereignty. This is the essence of the problem, because just a few countries have managed to survive on the basis of international sovereignty,” Dodik said. “Our position is quite clear. The RS remains to be untouchable in terms of its current territorial and political capacity, as it is stipulated by the Dayton Accords. The RS has proved that it capable of being an independent unit, of implying all the standards of modern Europe and of giving shelter to the people of all nationalities,” Dodik underlined. “If the gentlemen in the [Muslim-Croat] Federation should agree on a new entity within the Federation, we will have nothing against that. For us, the Federation is somewhere abroad,” he said.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
