NATO Secretary -General Mark Rutte highlights that developments in Bosnia with challenging Serbian leaders will not be tolerated by the military alliance.
Rutte warned that a “security vacuum may arise”.
The reason for the play in connection with a conference in Sarajevo is the ongoing power struggles in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik has, among other things, defied the special representative Christian Schmidt’s review of the peace settlement after the Bosnia War in the 1990s.
The decisive question is Dodik’s decision not to allow federal police and legal system to enter the Serbian Republic, which is part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dodik is adamant to the separatist plays, despite being sentenced to one year in prison for them. Dodik was also banned from holding political offices, which he dismisses as a political attack.
The NATO chief tries to strengthen the federal board of Sarajevo through his visit, where he warned of the Bosnian Serbian separatist tanks.
“This is not in 1992 and we will not allow a security vacuum to occur,” Rutte said.
At the same time, he urged the three federal leaders in Bosnia to “resolve the dispute”. Bosnia and Herzegovina are led by a presidential council with three members: a Muslim and a Croat direct elected from the Bosnia and Herzegovina Federation, while the Bosnian Serb Representative appointed in direct elections in the Serbian Republic.
