Bosnien und Herzegowina

The German government has shut down four infrastructure projects in Bosnia and Herzogovina’s autonomous Republika Srpska over the secessionist aims of its president, Milorad Dodik, according to a statement by the German embassy.

The remains of 30 victims of the Srebrenica massacre in Bosnia and Herzegovina have been laid to rest as thousands of people commemorated its anniversary against a backdrop of surging tensions.

Three leading European parliamentarians have called on the European Union to “finally” impose sanctions on Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik over his efforts “to systematically undermine" Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Bosnian Serb president Milorad Dodik has vowed to defy new Western-backed laws imposed to halt his drift into secession.

New law rendering state-level Constitutional Court decisions invalid in Republika Srpska condemned by US embassy as 'reckless attack' on 1995 peace agreement and constitutional order.

Parliamentarians in the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity endorsed legal changes that are intended to allow them to ignore decisions made by Bosnia’s international overseer, the High Representative.

The international community must not allow divisive political tactics to endanger social cohesion in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the High Representative for that country told the Security Council today, amidst objections from some delegates about his credibility.

Less than seven months after his last intervention, Bosnia’s international envoy has made another one in order to break the deadlock in government formation in the country's Federation entity.

Bosnia’s international envoy, High Representative Christian Schmidt said politicians in the Federation entity must respect election results and form a government “as soon as possible” after the deadline passed.

Several hundred people demonstrated in Sarajevo on March 31 against Christian Schmidt, the international community’s high representative in Bosnia-Herzegovina, over decisions he made last year affecting Bosnia’s elections law.
