highduke,
Brillantly put forward. You took the words out of my mouth. The power base is shifting and we are witnessing history in the making, but this time it starting to go the Serbs way. Serbia is the regional power, not only militarily but economically. For close to two decades Serbs have had to avoid clashing with the EU/US to protect their people and avoid debilitating sanctions.
Now look at Bosnia and see history in the making and watch the remnants of a superpower that has managed to destroy itself in a matter of 8 years do nothing and walk away empty handed from the meeting. I have said this before but you can smell the desperation and panic of the west – this is the last chance, or the US’s Alamo, there will be no others, for them to have a united Bosnia. This is playing poker and the west is bluffing and impotent to achieve any outcome.
Milorad Dodik was appointed with the EU’s concurrence because they thought he was ‘controllable’, a non-threatening middle of the road politician, someone that will do the West’s biding. How little did they know what was waiting for them.
Serbia held together 3 Yugoslavias both economically and politically, and Serbs have made the ultimate sacrifice with their blood for these entities. Well they have had enough of Croats, Bosniaks, Macedonians and Montenegrins and now want to live in Serbia. Let these other people live in their respective countries, but that is where the problems starts because they are not financially viable. The EU wants Serbia to trade like in the old Yugoslavia with these new entities and take the financial burden of them.
The true test of any country is the ability to withstand the economic sanctions that Serbia was under in the 1990s. A confidential EU report stated Slovenia could withstand 1 month, Croatia 3 months while Macedonia would collapse within two weeks.
The Serbs are now paying back the EU/US slowly – I don’t think that torture is the right word, but it comes close to it. The Serbs will not allow the Datyon Agreement to be changed so the EU will have to continue business as usual. Between Bosnia and Kosovo the situations are a debilitating financial drain on EU resources. There is no end in sight. Rest assured that the Albanian Kosovars are paying very close attention to these talks because they, or the smart one, realise what’s waiting for them as well.
