U.S. analyst tells Dodik "RS will never be independent"

Hatred of Serbs has been much of the motivation for much of Serwer's work. Anyway, I don't see anyone in RS threatening to separate formally. RS is in many ways more independent than 'kosovo' because the latter depends on dictation from the West whereas RS really does what it wants. So the current framework is just fine, only attempts to remove functions that belong to the RS would result in an actual seperation.

Serwer described as "the biggest problem" the lack of a central government in Sarajevo that would implement the conditions and demands coming from Brussels.

Note: send memo to John Hopkins a University reading -

Please inform your ignorant faculty that governments in a democracy should implement the demands of the people it represents, and not the "demands of Brussels".

Azir, genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity have been rewarded many times. Look at Croatia and your Kosovo. They are built on genocide.

Yeah well, guess what Danny? Your government made it so. Time to acknowledge Bosnia for what it is: a confederation of two regions with enormous degrees of autonomous decision-making. I sincerely hope this guy serves only as a part-time Adjunct at Johns Hopkins.

Nobody? I think that there is at least one big power that would. Perhaps Russia? Also I find it hilarious that the U.S. wouldn't since they lovingly decided to recognize Kosovo. Just goes to show that there isn't any international law anymore. Just powerful countries imposing their will.

You are once again mixing up Serbs and Albanians. They's the so-called Republic of Kosova, founded by war criminals, run by terrorists, financed by drugs, based on racism. Try to pay attention next time you post something.

RS was built on genocide and ethnic cleansing and has no culture or history other than that genocide and ethnic cleansing.
(LK, 17 May 2016 18:07)

Just like the Albanian tin-pot dream state known as Kosova. Too bad Serbs have more historical evidence to the land of RS than Albanians have to Kosovo. Too bad 20 years after Dayton, RS is more stable and more peaceful than the sh!tstorm Albanians have turned Kosovo into.

1. Never is a long time

2. It can stay the way it currently is forever too.

Dodik can declare independence, but RS will then cease to exist and NATO forces will be there shortly to end any of that foolishness. Serbia and Russia would not dare intervene. It would be the end of the RS, which will eventually end anyway, just a matter of time. No EU as long as BiH exists with a Federation and RS. One whole state or nothing.

RS was built on genocide and ethnic cleansing and has no culture or history other than that genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Demands from Brussels. whether for or against independent RS,, that statement is offensive. The war is over and I suspect neither Serbs nor Bosnia truly want another blood bath. For all the heroic couch bravado shown here, the truth is that those wars were enthusiastically supported by the west which brought death and destruction to all, which we still struggle to overcome even today. They the west got exactly what they wanted, splintered and divided people, easier to control. RS independence is against what the west wants, not what locals want. why on earth would bosnian care if Serbs in RS want independence or not? For all purposes, they are separated already and Dayton is bad for both sides. Holbrook is burning , and more are sure to follow from all sides. If Serbs or Bosnians want out, then it is they and only they who should decide together under a mutually agreed upon decision. Not Brussels, Holly crap, that's insane.

Still running that Milosevic carrousel?! Poor little chetnik. This is why the world bombed you for 78 days. Because of people like you!! You know what, call us what you want as long as it makes you happy. WE are here, we`ve always been here, we are not going away. The Republic of Kosovo is independent. It`s irreversible. There is nothing you can do about it. There is nothing your government can do about it. You can call it poor. You can call it corrupt. You can call it dirty. But you know what. ITS OUR DIRTY CORRUPT POOR COUNTRY!

Hasta la victoria siempre!

When RS was ethnically cleansing non-Serbs most Serbs didn't care about democracy and now suddenly democracy is relevant? Isn't this little ironic?

Here is the interesting part. It’s true that while ever the windbags in Washington are in power RS will not be recognised, but sadly for those clowns the times are a changing and very soon the US will not be asked.
What Server does not understand is that RS does not want to be independent but to join with Serbia. Damaging ties with Washington will not be a great loss.
Let’s see if the Washington windbags do better in the South China Sea or will they come home with the tails between their legs like last time? LOL.
Now if they can stare down the Chinese then the US is back in the game, but if not then their power has diminished dramatically. Server is like most Americans in power or advisers to those in power. They have no clues what is happening around them.

Is this anti-freedom professor another one of those 1990s James Michael Lewek disciples that Bill Clinton was puppeteer by once in office?

Bosnian Serbs held a non-violent, legitimate referendum in 1991 to remain in Yugoslavia.
That referendum created the Serb Republic on January 9th 1992, without violence. The world politically recognized the Serb Republic with the forced upon Dayton Peace Accord, which Bosnian Serbs did not sign.

If the KGB want Bosnian Serbs to remain in Izetbegovic's Islamic state, it's so they can keep a leash on Bosnian Islam. If KGB wants to puppeteer Bosnian Serbs then fund their economy like they did with Cuba.

Serbs have more of a right to independence on their land than the citizens of the U.S. on American Indian soil. Islam forced its way into the Balkan peninsula, kidnapping Christian boys to fight Christians, which is something similar to what the corrupt portions of USA have done with Serb politicians, bureaucrats and businesses.

rs is a genocidal creation and will never be independent they can only dream about independence nothing more dodik is finished.

You can call it dirty. But you know what. ITS OUR DIRTY CORRUPT POOR COUNTRY!
(Gjon Marku, 17 May 2016 17:22)

Correction: It's your dirty, corrupt, poor territory, founded by war criminals, run by terrorists, financed by drugs, based on racism. That's not Milosevic. That's factual information backed up by decades of international studies. Plus you can't mix Milosevic with chetniks. You also need to pay attention to what you're posting. Anger won't make you smarter. Just less informed and more immature.

Dodik has many faults but stupidity is not one of them. He is well aware that the RS will never be independent but uses this threat to leverage as much autonomy as he can get......especially in election years :-)

If Serbs or Bosnians want out, then it is they and only they who should decide together under a mutually agreed upon decision. Not Brussels, Holly crap, that's insane.

Ronald,
You seem to have a short memory. The last time the Serbs were left to their own devices they made a mess of things. Ultimately, they were severely punished for their evil deeds.

"Even if he declared it, nobody would recognize that independence. Certainly not Serbia, because that would put it in a difficult position."

Indeed, why would Serbia recognize a unilaterally declared independence? About other states, I'm not so sure, Serwer knows how many countries (including his own) have recognized the unilateral independence, declared by an ethnic minority in the case of Kosovo.

Too bad Serbs have more historical evidence to the land of RS than Albanians have to Kosovo.
(LOL, 17 May 2016 18:47)

Not sure what "historical evidence to the land" means and/or why it matters! What matters is the cadastral evidence...

"Of course I will not be deciding whether the RS will become independent. That has has already been decided and the decision will not be annulled. "

I can agree with him on one thing - things have been decided even long before Yugoslavia fell apart, and decisions will not be annulled.
Here, I will make one prediction myself - UK will not leave EU regardless of the result of referendum. That, and many other things have already been decided, and decisions will not be annulled.
It's just a way it is.

(Navi, 17 May 2016 18:57)

What ever floats your boat mate. You can call us worse than that and it wont change anything. Kosovo is the love of our life. With all her flaws, we hold her dear while you can watch from the outside.

A trick of the brain, I keep reading his name as Daniel Sewer. I am just wondering if my brain has a point.

(Tonawanda Snowfall, 17 May 2016 18:21)

Yup, but it appears the referendum asked the wrong question because the SFRY ceased to exist so the referendum's answer to the question about remaining in the SFRY was meaningless.

P.S. Doesn't that sound familiar, btw ? Some people appear to always have challenges formulating the right question lol

"Serwer knows how many countries (including his own) have recognized the unilateral independence, declared by an ethnic minority in the case of Kosovo."

Jealous much?

Thankfully Mr Serwer, you won't live long enough to follow the tales of the unexpected. Big changes and challenges are coming that may very likely sap all of your energies. Game over you cheeky chappy, a big surprise is coming forth. Analyst! Pristina and Sarajevo are about to become a fly in your euro-atlantic soup.

Regards from a former Analyst. Kiss your neocortical warfare, good night, good luck!

The RS is already de-facto independent.

25 years later the Dayton bond has gotten weaker... not stronger.

The trust between Sarajevo and Banja Luka has decreased... not increased.

The borders between S and RS have disintegrated... not strengthened.

The cultural associations between Banja Luka and Sarajevo have not increased... they have decreased.

The Central authority has gotten weaker... not stronger.

Winning independence means taking along view. Decades, not years.

Sit back, have a few drinks and wait it out. No rush.

Wait for those who are against to retire and pass on.

In the meantime keep on trucking and doing your own thing.

Slow motion separation.

Speaking as a Bosnian who believes in multiculturalism (odd in Europe these days, I know), I would LOVE for RS to separate and be bye, bye for ever, so the rest of us can breathe and have one president, one CIVIL society without nationalists winning because we need to have tit-for-tat ALL THE TIME. However, the question is borders. Srebrenica CANNOT and WILL NEVER be in RS. All Bosnian Serbs + Bosniacs + Croats + Jews + Roma + Chinese + Bozo Vreca + mixed bags (yours truly) who wish to stay in Bosnia are my kind of people.

rs is a genocidal creation and will never be independent they can only dream about independence nothing more dodik is finished.
