But Western diplomats and officials on both sides of the ethnic divide stressed that the conflict was a political war of words that was unlikely to spill over into violence. “Dodik wants to make clear that the right of the Republika Srpska to exist is beyond dispute,” said Mr. Milosevic, Mr. Dodik’s spokesman. “No one wants war.”

Good 'ol Bosnia...a festering wound in the Balkans...

In 1908, Austria-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Hercegovina and I'm sure that there were those that thought that this act would "unlikely spill over into violence."

Six years later, as a direct result of the annexation and of Serbs being forced to live in a hostile environment, violence did indeed spill over and we had this little thing called World War One.

Anyone who doesn't take the current events going on in Bosnia seriously or with some measure of "concern" clearly has no historical memory.
