The project is called „Srpski Svet / Serb. World“ - de facto a revival of Milosevic‘s „Greater Serbia“ which led to mass murder, mass rape & genocide! Warning enough for Brussels/Washington? Or still playing the card of appeasement?

Mr. Borrell are you "alarmed"? Will you "not tolerate it"?
Why are you silent? Are you considering new sanctions against

@JosepBorrellF
GO HOME !!! You have escalated the situation long enough.
WAKE UP, Europe 🇪🇺 !!!
@vonderleyen
There’s an online campaign “RSEXIT” (including on 🇷🇺 social media) that amplifies the secession of Republika Srpska from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
You can expect more escalations in Kosovo as well as more chaos in Bosnia in 2024.
It‘s high time that the EU’s Non-recognizers give up their shameful reluctance to recognize

BiH Presidency Chairman Komšić must have struck a nerve w/ his UN speech on Zagreb’s meddling in BiH affairs.
In an immediate reaction, Croatia’s nationalist FM

This is contributing to a tremendous loss of credibility of the USA in the Balkans. Grenell, Hill …

A truly remarkable speech by Presidency Member Željko Komšić on the occasion of BiH's Independence Day.
With

@JosepBorrellF

Secessionist & genocide denier Milorad Dodik celebrating the 9th of January - in 1992 this day was a starting point for mass murder, rape & expulsion of Non-Serbs. Dodik backed by Vucic & Putin: “Russian world” aggressor fosters “Serb world” aggression !

The biggest enemy of Vucic and his terrorists is the truth. And the truth is that the Balkans will never find peace, as long as our aggressors are appeased. To people without honor, appeasement means they can terrorize us again. I hope the West listens to us this time.
