EU must act to prevent Bosnia-Herzegovina disintegration, Borrell says

European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today must take decisions to avoid a worsening of the “critical situation” in Bosnia, according to EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

Bosnia is facing its worst political crisis since the end of the 1990s wars in the Balkans, with Bosnian Serbs challenging federal state institutions.

“The rhetoric of nationalists and those who want to secede is growing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and endangers the stability and even the integrity of the country,” Borrell told reporters.

“Ministers must decide how to stop this dynamic in Bosnia and Herzegovina and how to avoid a possible break-up of the country. It is a critical situation.”

Lawmakers in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s autonomous Republika Srpska (RS) voted on February 10th to form a separate body to select judges and prosecutors, effectively withdrawing their district from the country’s top judiciary as part of a separatist agenda.
