Amid threats of an unlawful police raid of Srebrenica Memorial Center, the leadership has reduced the number of staff on site, to protect their physical safety. 2 wks ago, the whole of Europe condemned Serbia for its leaders' glorification of Mladic. Where are they today? n1info.ba/vijesti/sulj...

The best case scenario, that’s still within reason, for the Oct. 4 election in Bosnia is that the new election machine produce breakthroughs for the RS opposition and non-HDZ Croat parties; securing them enough seats to make them viable coalition partners at BiH and FBiH levels.

The EU delisting Usmanov is simply the reverse face of its inability to sanction Milorad Dodik. It shows the same face: the EU as a bloc, and the individual capitals, are geopolitical minnows. And that is not the fault of the US, Russia, or China. It's self-imposed irrelevance.

The elections in Serbia will not be free nor fair. There will be no change in government, alas. The question thus is not if Vucic will hijack the democratic process (he will), it’s what consequences are the U.S. and EU willing to impose on him as a result?

The deification of Mladic and the glorification of the genocide in Bosnia by Belgrade and Banja Luka is a baptism of blood. It aims to make the Serbian public complicit in the horrors of the 90s and, more importantly, to socialize them to embrace future rounds of violence.
