In Bosnia again the dangers of nationalism and provocation

 Friday, January 14, 2022


Islamabad news world DW news January 14, 2022) Bosnia and Herzegovina are two independent states. One is called the Federation of Bosnia and the other the Serpska Republic. The region of the Western Balkans is witnessing a steady rise in separatist tendencies and efforts. Against this background, the leadership of the Bosnian Serb Republic, the Republic of Serpska, recently celebrated the National Day of the Republic of Serpska.


This year marks the 30th anniversary of the historic event of the proclamation of the Republic of Serbska. The incident took place a day before the Bosnian war.

Statements by Melvarad Dodak, a member of the state presidency of the Bosnia-Herzegovina joint federation, were troubling. The party of Bosnian Serb politician Mellard is called the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (AISD).



"Every national movement has a common goal, to establish a state of its own, and this is exactly what our national movement wants," he said in a statement issued on January 9, the national day of the Republic of Serpska. No one living in the Republic of Serpiska should have any doubts as to whether this is possible. Of course it is possible. "

The military march to mark National Day was not just a parade.


It was considered a declaration of war against the Bosnian state and an act contrary to peace in the Western Balkans. For months, Serbian leader Dodak has been threatening to secede from this part of the country. They have complete control over this area. For years, they have been celebrating Republica Serpska Day on January 9. However, Bosnia's constitutional court has banned it. This date marks the proclamation of the Republica Serpska in 1992, before the Bosnian war.

Crimes against non-Serbs, such as criminal treatment, their eviction, mass murder, and gang rape, have heated up since the historic event of the announcement of the founding of the Republic of Serbia. The situation led to the July 1995 genocide in Srebrenica.

The attitude of other regional leaders

The Prime Minister of Hungary and Viktor Orban recently met with the separatist Serb leader Dodak in the capital of the Republica Srepska (RS), Bania Luka, and expressed his support for the RS.


Victor Orban and Slovenian Prime Minister Jans Jansha are considered the masterminds of an explosive "Non-Papers" that seeks to divide the former Yugoslav states on ethnic grounds. In addition, the two politicians support policies based on Serbian nationalism, "Islamophobic" or discrimination against Muslims.

"Shoot mosques"

Mellord Dodak has been singing the tune of "Serbian world" in his speeches for months. The term implies a new concept of a broader pro-Serb policy. The result of this politics was the war that started in 1990, in which about 120,000 people lost their lives. The result of this policy of deporting human beings and annihilating thousands is the establishment of the Republic of Serpska.


The Bosnian capital is predominantly Muslim.

Dodak's recent "hate speech" was not in vain. Earlier this year, on January 7, during the Orthodox Christian Christmas celebrations, nationalists in several cities in Bosnia and Serbia sang hate songs. Whose words were something like, "Today is Christmas, shoot the mosques.

At the moment, ethnic minorities in the region, who fled the Serbian-occupied Bosnia during the war and later returned to their territories under the "Day Ton" agreement, are concerned.

Be a silent spectator or react?

In the current context, there is a growing fear of further unrest and provocation among the Bosnian population.


On January 10, one day after the National Day Parade of the Republic of Serpiska, the concerned citizens gathered in front of the office of the high official and representative responsible for maintaining the day-to-day peace agreement reached in Sarajevo. Protesters loudly demanded sanctions.

Thousands took to the streets in several other European cities to protest against the provocations in Bosnia.
