This neighboring country is completely dependent on imported gas from Russia, which arrives in the country via "Turkish Stream", and the problem arose due to a dispute over the price of the delivered gas.
About 150 hectares of forest and pastures of the Sutjeska National Park in the southeast of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) are currently under fire, confirmed the director of the park, Zoran Čančar. The help of the Ministry of Interior of Serbia will soon be necessary in extinguishing the fire
Although there are occasional reports that Serbia is buying bonds issued by the Republika Srpska (RS), such as the one that Serbia will buy RS bonds for 30 million euros, official confirmations have always been absent, and documents on such transactions have never been made public.
The draft law that would enable the public use of the coat of arms of Nemanjić and the hymn "God's Justice" in the Republic of Srpska will be submitted for public discussion, it was decided after the discussion in the continuation of the session of the RS Assembly held on July 4.
Milorad Dodik appointed Aleksandar Vulin to the Senate of the Republic of Srpska. That body practically does nothing, so the message is exclusively political, says Srđan Puhalo for "Vreme". Or, as Vulin would say, they are "hurt" by what the West says
The dismissal and expulsion of Milorad Dodik from the institutions by criminal conviction on the order of the high representative would be a Pyrrhic victory for Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also a new blow to the seriously shaken foundations of the international order.
The RS was not created to be a part of BiH, but to not be a part of BiH, and even better - to not be a part of BiH. What is not clear?
In accordance with Executive Order 14033, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury yesterday added one official from the state level in Bosnia and Herzegovina and three officials from the Republika Srpska government to the list of sanctioned persons.
Neither is the Order of Alexander Nevsky the highest decoration of the Russian Federation, nor does it have anything to do with the old order of the same name, nor is it rarely awarded, as Serbian tabloids wrote. Apart from Vučić, Dodik and, for example, Lukashenko, more than 750 other people were awarded with it. The highest decoration of today's Russia is the Order of St. Apostle Andrew the First-Called and was awarded to only four foreign citizens
The High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina Kristijan Šmit "reminded" in writing the representatives of the authorities in the Republika Srpska that the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through a series of decisions, determined that the declaration of the RS Day, which is celebrated on January 9, is unconstitutional
Judging by the terse statement after the conversation between Aleksandar Vučić and the High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kristi Šmit, they did not agree on whether the implementation of the Bonn powers contributes to stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As things stand now, the President of Serbia is still finding understanding for Milorad Dodik's political decisions
The High Representative in BiH Kristijan Šmit annulled the Law on Immovable Property of Republika Srpska. Milorad Dodik told the "unelected" German that "the best sons of the Republika Srpska did not die so that he could steal what they paid the most for" and that he can freely buy a one-way ticket to Germany. Thus, the level of the West's conflict with Dodik reached a higher level
In full view of the whole world, Putin can play with Ukraine like a cat with a mouse: he can send "peacekeeping troops" to the newly created pro-Russian independent republics and secure a separation border with the rest of Ukraine; can occupy an additional separation band, purely for the sake of order; can establish a land strip between the already formally annexed Crimea and Donbass; can order the invasion of Kiev and establish a pro-Russian regime. And no one can stop him
At the place where Karađorđe started the uprising on Tuesday, the Serbian state leadership will gather with guests to celebrate the Statehood Day. Milorad Dodik will also come, but that's why the ambassadors of the member states of the European Union will not come
Despite the jokey mocking of primarily American and German officials, the US sanctions against Milorad Dodik are not pleasant at all. Because it is unlikely that they will remain on them alone, and they can be interpreted as a message to Aleksandar Vučić that he will have to choose between Dodik and the favor of America
"Today's Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is still trapped in the Dayton straitjacket, needs the deconstruction of ethnonarratives and ethnopolitics and the creation of some new Bosnian ethos and logos."
