Silajdžić criticizes EU for closer ties with Serbia

Oh shut up Silajdzic. This dour man hasn't changed Bosnia's political outlook towards Serbia or anything Serbian since n the early 1990's. This man is responsible for the filthy terrorist groups that operated out of Bosnia in the 1990's. Al-Qa'ida's operations in Europe (London, Madrid etc) were in part thanks to Salajdzic.

I suggest people read 'Unholy Terror: Bosnia, Al-Qa'ida, and the Rise of Global Jihad' by Schindler (Prof of strategy at US Naval War College). Its caused a stir in the US and shows how certain members of today's Bosnian government are very much to blame for Al-Qa'ida's European foothole.

Well Mr Silajdzic, why do you complain. I think that EU knows much better what to do with Serbia and what kind of relations EU mants with Serbia. It might hurt but it is reallity as some posters overhere like to say. Karadzic will be forgoten as he already is since he made an agreement with Holbrook. Otherwise Carla Del Ponte would not give a green light. I would not be surprised if Mladic made some deal with someone as well. So, Mr Silajdzic instead of doing something on bringing your war criminals down to the justice or on the social conditions of BiH you point your finger again on Serbs blaiming them on obstructing Bosniaks in thier "good intentions". In that case it would be the best for everyone if Srpska gets its own independence. Why would you need Serbs? Oh, I guess. There must be Serbs, how otherwise to explain people your own failure if there is no one to blame for it.

Mr. Silajdžić has always been ready and even active when it comes to point the finger after others in the region. The same mr. Silajdžić has never offered to work for and cooperate in a process aimed at cleaning his own war-time record. This despite numerous allegations have been launched against him in the media during the past ten years. The media in the Region are normally well informed about acts of politicians during the armed conflict. Members of the BiH presidency have been charged for their war-time record before. It has to be mentioned, that none of them had the strong protection that is provided for others.

"I noticed that all former Yugoslav states (save for Slovenia)"

Actually, Slovenia operated several torture/concentration camps for Serbs during the brief war there. It was mostly POWs who surrendered. Further, they were smuggling weapons to the Bosnian Muslims with a "charity" connected with Osama bin Laden's funds. I think it was called TWRA.

Plus Silajdzic knew and visited torture camps of Bosnian Serbs during the war and probably committed war crimes himself.

Also, the mercenaries from NATO countries who killed Bosnian civilians or POWs should be hunted down.

Slobo is gone and there is no reason to mention him. If you dont remember Serbs rebelled against him and he died in the Hague. If they handed Slobo over dont you think they would do the same with the rest of them if they could?

I think so.

The west is using these war criminals for leverage to get Serbia to do what they want but I bet that these criminals are in some other country, not Serbia.

Silajdzic is the last unconstructed nationalist in Balkan Politics. He dances around the west preaching multi-ethnicity, tolerance something that is missing in Sarajevo,s current make up. There are more muslim Slavs in Srpska than Serbs in FBiH.Where are all the Serbs who lived in Mostar Mr Silajdzic?, have they gone to the moon. Why does he never mention the apartheid state of Mostar itself?, because he might up set the poodle Croations who are his camp followers but live in their segragated ghetto,s when they come home. Bosnia was still born and will die its natural death just as Yugoslavia did.

I agree that war criminals need to be apprehended before any other Balkan state joins the EU. Looking on Interpol, I noticed that all former Yugoslav states (save for Slovenia) have tens, if not hundreds of criminals charged with war crimes and genocide still not arrested. They need to pull finger and get these people behind bars or on death row, because it is not safe to have people that murdered innocent children, women and elderly during the wars in the Balkans. I agree with Silajdzic here, though I also think they should coordinate their efforts and catch these last few criminals.

BTW If Kosovo is to become independent, one of the prerequisites should be to clean the region of war criminals, if not, it is almost like rewarding them for their actions.

"This man is responsible for the filthy terrorist groups that operated out of Bosnia in the 1990's. Al-Qa'ida's operations in Europe (London, Madrid etc) were in part thanks to Salajdzic."

Ironic you calling them filty terrorists when it was Slobo trading with Somali warlords, Iran, Saddam and Kaddafi. I guess Serbia looked into a mirror when trading with "filty terrorists". lol

I agree that major war criminals need to be turned over before any other Balkan state joins the EU. So far, the EU has not granted membership to Serbia and hopefully will not until all conditions are met. Bosnia hasn’t truly done enough, and there are reasons for that which must be resolved. Silajdzic does have a valid concern about the fomentation of Serb nationalism in the region that is currently a major contributor to the political crisis in Bosnia. Anyone reading the news lately can see for himself Serbia’s overt interest in this matter. It is no small thing that the Bosnian Serb leaders seek unification with Serbia should Kosovo gain independence. This would plunge the region into another brutal war. Bosnia’s issues are multi-faceted. You have the Dayton accords, which basically rewarded genocide, but were the only viable way to stop major fighting at the time. The High Commissioner of Bosnia last year, Christian Schwartz-Schilling, should be held accountable to a great extent for the political stagnation over the last year. Unfortunately, Bosnia isn’t yet ready to govern itself, and so in comes Lajcak. Those who wish to forestall Bosnia’s progress brand him a tyrant, when he is taking the measures necessary to get Bosnia on the road to efficient self-governance. It is true that the Bosniaks and Croats have been most willing to streamline the governmental processes but the Serb leaders in Bosnia currently refuse and are stunting Bosnia’s efforts. Silajdzic is right in what he states in this matter. And no, I haven’t read 'Unholy Terror: Bosnia, Al-Qa'ida, and the Rise of Global Jihad', but do bear in mind that the Islamic extremism coming out of Bosnia is no more than the Islamic extremism that has cropped up other places, such as in the EU or USA. In fact, if one is familiar at all with Bosnian Islamic history, the likes of Al-Qa’ida weren’t present until the war in the 1990’s. We can all thank the EU and the rest of the Western world for not stepping in to assist Bosnia early on in the war. So to whom could they turn for help? Guess. And can we really blame them? So the Western world can blame itself. The finger pointing could go on all day, so I’ll desist. Let us just hope the EU has the backbone to stand behind its expectations for any Balkan country entering the EU.
