    When you say Bosnia you mean Serbian old dukedom. The part where Serbs of 3 religions were formed as first it was occupied by Osman Turkish Empire and when Austria came to liberate it, some people prefered becoming muslim then being turned to Catholics, whole towns in some cases at 10 minutes on the squere would ask and be proclamed Muslim. After Austrian Empire came some were as expected made to turn to Catholics. And now in the last 30 years supported by west idea they are trying to make people of one nation divided in 3 religions orthodox, catholic and muslim into 3 nations. So, do you stand with Bosnia as you are sure you know its history and real issues or because news are telling you what they want you to see. There are no Bosniaks that is a made up word. There were always Bosnians as Serbs from dukedom of Bosnia, that in one period became Kingdom and was always Serbian. And plan to distroy Serbian territhory is on the go for 2000 years. As is a plan to destroy Russia. This is all fabricated by west as it was every time before. They still lead crussader wars under Gods name and you can see it as they allways say they "save a country" but only of problems they create for them, and then "save" that country of all natural recources.

You learning history from Seselj's book, because he clearly knows better than historians who lived at the times you specified, only makes you narrowminded. Your logic of "Bosnia is a Serb dukedom because once Bosnia was a part of Serbia" also then translates into "Serbia is a part of Turkey because Ottoman Empire once owned Serbia" or better yet "Austria owns Serbia now since Serbia was a part of Habsburg Empire once". Heck even Hungary and Italy can claim Serbia then.

    Regarding the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, it is important that we do not decontextualize crimes and events. There is no equivalency between individual instances of war crimes and systematic crimes against humanity. The "all sides did it" discourse is revisionism. There's a huge difference between crimes committed by individuals and crimes that are systemically planned. Bosnian Serb and Bosnian Croat separatist forces committed systemically planned war crimes, this is an undeniable FACT. The Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina committed war crimes at times but did not commit any systemically planned crimes. For decades now, there has been a trend and tendancy to lump everything together, which is exactly what war criminals and their supporters have been doing for years, even decades, trying to relativize everything until it loses its true context, hence meaning and known butchers suddenly become innocent heroes.

    It's not solid at all. I am from Bosnia and this is typicall simplified explanation of the situation. Dodik was never a problem when the west brought him to power. He was "the man of the hour" then. After 2008-2010 when they took away more and more rights that Republic of Srpska had whitin Bosnia he started to go against the same people that brought him there. Now all the sudden he is a problem. We Serbs in Bosnia in generall do not have an issue with living in Bosnia, but we don't want to see our rights being taken away year by year. You can only push a people so far. There is a reason why even Croatia is on Dodiks side in this mess. They are being treated even worse than us in Bosnia. And Bosniaks do as they want because they have the US backing them..

    I'd say the worst thing about Bosnia right now is the fact that war in 90s has constantly been in the conversation combined with this secession discourse. There has always been slight anxiety, now even more so, from a new conflict, and also the constant discourse of the last war. We haven't made a single movie, documentary that doesn't talk about the war. Every day there are bad news about something that relates to separatist nationalistic agenda. Prices are rising yet wages are constant, jobs are virtually nonexistent, constant news of government corruption and incapacity, youth leaving in tens of thousands a year- don't help.

    Saying atrocities were committed from all sides is true but it is a not so subtle way of pretending that all sides were equally guilty which is a total lie and fabrication not supported by any tangible evidence.

    //But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. Jesus Predicts His Death on the Cross 27“Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” 29Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.” 30Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” 33This He said, signifying by what death He would die. 34The people answered Him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” 35Then Jesus said to them, “A little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.” These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them. Who Has Believed Our Report? 37But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.” 41These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. Walk in the Light 42Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44Then Jesus cried out and said, “He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. 45And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him-the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

    The irony is that both Serbia and Montenegro (also having a large population of ethnic Serbs) are in the process of becoming EU members because the majority of the population have finally realized that endless wars caused by nationalism are stupid and its actually better to work together in a trade bloc that benefits all members. Meanwhile, in Bosnia they have a Serb nationalist leader that still hasn't figured that out after 30 years.. The difference this time around is that if he starts another war, they are unlikely to get much help from Serbia and Montenegro who are busy trying to integrate themselves into the EU and very likely are not interested in going for round 2 against NATO. This means that the scale of any conflict would likely be much smaller and the war criminals would be captured and locked up a lot quicker too.

In the case of Dodik, the separatism and war rhetoric is an attempt to cover up these key issues--embezzlement, corruption, and nepotism. In the case of a great many Federation politicians, their anti-Dodik or pro-third-entity rhetoric has the same goal.

    It's not it's an outright lie made to propagate the idea that Republica Srpska is to blame yet again for Bosnia training to remove all the Serbs from Bosnia. If we start from the "history" first conflicts happened between Bosnians and Croats when Croatia declared independence, JNA had to intervene and that made Bosnian nationalist extremely angry and will go onto attack JNA tenk columns going to Croatia. But at that point there where still Bosnians answering the draft for JNA but after the attack almost all Bosnians deserted. Also the war started when Croats and Bosnians attacked and committed the Sijekovac massacre. And the problems didn't start because of the genocide bill they started when the Bosnians wanted to destroy the Dayton agreement by removing all the guaranteed authorities from RS, in fact the there was a lot of debate around how this high representative was elected because it was essentially the west saying Bosnia is our colony and we get to decide who rules there so he wasn't approved by the UN.
