Sarajevo, 28 Feb. (AKI) – Bosnia’s majority Muslims have stepped up their drive for the abolition of the Serb entity Republika Srpska (RS). Created under the 1995 Dayton accord that ended Bosnia's civil war, the RS has been called a "genocidal creature" by Muslim member of Bosnia's three-man rotating state presidency, Haris Silajdzic. Due to the unstable situation in the country, the mandate of the high representative of the international community in Bosnia (OHR) was on Tuesday extended by a year. But the European Union has meanwhile decided to reduce its forces in Bosnia (EUFOR) - from the present 6,000 to 2,500 by the end of the year.
Thousands of people demonstrated in Sarajevo on Tuesday against a ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) that the Bosnian Serb army committed genocide in the eastern town of Srebrenica in July 1995, but that Serbia didn’t participate in the massacre of up to 7,000 Muslims. The court ruled, however, that Serbia did nothing to prevent genocide and punish the culprits.
Demonstrators and war victims's families on Tuesday demanded the RS be scrapped, claiming that the ICJ's Monday ruling had proven the RS was a "direct result of genocide and other crimes against humanity." They echoed calls by Muslim member of the three-man rotating state presidency, Haris Silajdzic, and other Muslim leaders for constitutional reform and abolition of RS.
The Dayton accord divided the country into two entities, the RS and the Muslim-Croat federation, but the international community, which safeguards peace in Bosnia, has been gradually reducing the entities’ powers to strengthen the central government.
Muslims insist on a unified police force on a country level, while Serbs want to retain their own police in their entity, Republika Srpska (RS), which would be coordinated at the federal level. RS prime minister Milorad Dodik has said he would "never renounce RS police, as a part of the police structure of Bosnia-Herzegovina."
In a response to majority Muslim calls for the abolition of the RS, Bosnian Serbs have threatened to hold a referendum on independence and to secede from Bosnia.
Sarajevo demonstrators carried signs saying "Abolish RS", "Justice is unreachable" and complained that ICJ decision was "unjust" and "politically motivated." The Peace implementation council for Bosnia, an international body composed of leading western power, decided on Tuesday to extend the OHR's mandate by 12 months until June 2003.
The EU's foreign policy chief Javier Solana, has stated that the security situation in Bosnia is now "much more relaxed" but a decision on the reduction EUFOR personnel could be reversed "if the situation worsened."
Thanks Bokakabe
Oric gets 2 years and these assh*les say its unjust and politically motivated? Albanian heroin is in season I see...
Can I buy a vowel?
More peace, love and tolerance from the "religion" of perpetual outrage.
Only if you put additional A in America, giving Aamerica.
It is on Serbian, "Writ is diwn as you speak it, read it up as it is written" is golden rule of Serbian lang.
"Serbia" is read Srbiya.
And you just described the easiest thing about the Serbian language -- spelling. Beyond that, it is a very difficult language to learn to speak & write properly.
I had a business acqaintance whose mother was a Professor of Linguistics in Ireland, and he spoke 5 languages fluently. He told me that he began learning Serbian in college and dropped out of the class & took Russian instead, because he just couldn't get Serbian right. Given that his mother was a professor of linguistics, he said it was rather embarassing to have to tell her that he couldn't wrap his brain around a language, but when she heard that the language was Serbian, she understood completely.
The grammar is very strict, its wonderful to listen to someone who has complete command of the language.
Moslems in Bosnia to Serb Christians: we will drive you out or kill you all!
Muslim Palis to Israeli Jews: We will drive you out or kill you all!
I guess we bombed the wrong people in th 1990's.
The most bueatiful thing in Serbian is the Alphabet, 30 letters, and 30 voices in Serbian lang. Aech letter for each voice, no double letters or cambination of letters for voice.
But grammathic is horrible! complicated and if you are not born in Serbia you will newer learn it.
Just imagine this, we change personal names according to the situation:
When we say "I brought a book to John" it sounds "I brought the book to Johnuh"
"I saw John"- "I saw Jonah"
"hey, John!" - Hey Johneh!"
Seven ways!
But Hungarian is even more difficult. My father is fluent in Hungarian and I am not, when I tried to learn Hungarian as teenager, I droped it after a month! Hungarians dont have masculinum and femininum!
But cursess on Serbian and Hungarian are soooo... descriptive...
Past week we saw a video of Kobe Briant cursing on Serbian during a basketball march :)))))
Vlade Divac school :)))
That saves ink!
And the same man who filed the Bosnian lawsuit against the Serbs is the same American law professor who used to be the lawyer for the Palestinians
Coincidence?
I think not!
Here is a case for scum seeking their fellow scum.
Lots of pure hate out there for Christians everywhere...
The REAL illigitimate entity is muslim-dominated "Bosnia", the artifical creation of the communists, the international islamists, and the New World Order. The purpose of "Bosnia" is and always has been to serve as a forward base for the islamic conquest of Europe. "Bosnia"-based jihadists and subversives have done some prety nasty stuff to America as well.
It is high time to end islamist "Bosnia" as we know it. Free Republika Srpska! Free Herceg Bosna!
Don't you think you should ping Hoplite to this thread or has he (she) has been banned?
Muslim terrorist apologist ping!!
Ottoman times all over again. 1875 will be repeated.
Excellent post. At present, the most popular politician in Bosnia for Bosnia's Croatians is actually Serb leader Dodik.
