The UN Security Council has unequivocally supported dialogue between the two entities and the three peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as consensus instead of imposition, which has so far been the prevailing practice—mostly to the detriment of the Serb people, political scientist Vojislav Savić stated.
“The UN Security Council has underlined with its position that the era of voluntaristic international interventionism aimed at forceful unitarization of Bosnia and Herzegovina is over, and it has acknowledged the situation that Serb representatives have been pointing out for years,” said Savić.
He emphasized that in the joint statement of the UN Security Council members, no party was singled out, no “target was painted on the forehead” of Republika Srpska and its leadership, and that Christian Schmidt was not even mentioned—which is accurate, as this body has never appointed him.
Savić noted that Bosnia and Herzegovina is only viable within the framework agreed upon in Dayton, expressing hope that there will be at least a minimum of common sense in Sarajevo to finally understand the message sent and begin a dialogue on the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“Otherwise, they will have nothing left to negotiate about, as the country will peacefully disintegrate,” Savić told SRNA.
He stated that Bosniak politicians in Sarajevo had been given false hope for years—that they would eventually gain control over the entire state—and that people who are no longer politically relevant have led them into the position they are in today.
“The first reactions we received from Sarajevo show that they are still in a state of double despair. First, because they allowed themselves to end up in this position, and second, because they refuse to acknowledge reality,” Savić pointed out.
He added that politicians in Sarajevo have been spoiled by the international community for years, convinced that they could obtain full control over the country with a magic wand and that Serbs and Croats would politically submit.
“They will have to face a painful awakening, which, unfortunately, will be difficult for their public to accept,” Savić concluded.
The members of the UN Security Council called on political representatives of the two entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the three constituent peoples and Others to respect the provisions of the Dayton Peace Agreement and the Constitution, and to engage in sincere, open, and constructive dialogue aimed at preserving the country’s unity and political stability.
In their joint statement, the members of the UN Security Council emphasized the need to resolve disputes through consensus and to avoid confrontations in order to maintain peace and stability.
