Partition

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, described Kosovo as a question for all Serbs and said that the issue of Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, should be discussed along with the question surrounding Kosovo.

A coalition of non-Serbian parties, "Together for Bosnia", which gathers nine Bosnian Croat and Bosniak parties, will contest the October general elections in Republika Srpska together, representing what they describe as a pro-Bosnian platform.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci said that partition of Kosovo is impossible and said that there will be no autonomy for the northern part of the country inhabited by Serbs.

Thaci stated that Serbia recognises this fact, although not publically.

These concerns have to do with the intentions of the authorities in the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Serb Republic (RS) - which the paper refers to as "the separatist-led regional government" - and also, with "deepening Russian influence."

Bakir Izetbegovic says that Croats in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) "cannot get (their separate) third entity in BiH without conflict and war."

After the 1992-95 war, the country is made up of the Serb Republic (RS), the Serb entity, and the Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (FBiH).

Bakir Izetbegovic, the Bosniak member of the Bosnian tripartite presidency, warned on Sunday that Croats "cannot get a third entity in Bosnia without a war".

His reaction came after a Bosnian Croat declaration last week which lent support to Croats' campaign to have an entity of their own in Bosnia, in addition to the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska and the Bosniak-Croat Federation.

After the 1992-95 war, the country is made up of the Serb Republic (RS), the Serb entity, and the Muslim-Croat Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina (FBiH).

"About 60 percent of Croats live mixed with Bosniaks in BiH," said Izetbegovic, who is the Bosniak (Muslim) representative in the tripartite BiH Presidency.

ISTANBUL - Serbia respects Bosnia and Herzegovina's territorial integrity and the Dayton Accord - the only thing it wants from Bosniaks is that Serbs in Republika Srpska and across BiH feel safe, President Aleksandar Vucic said after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the Bosniak member of the BiH Presidency, Bakir Izetbegovic, in Istanbul.

And the only thing Serbia demands from Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) is that Serbs in the RS (Serb Republic, Serb entity in BiH) and everywhere else in BiH feel safe, the Serbian president said in Istanbul on Monday.

Vucic said this after his tripartite meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Bosniak member of the BiH Presidency Bakir Izetbegovic, and added:

The website also said that Yee told Greek media no decision had been made to appoint him as US ambassador in one of the Balkan countries - something Serbian media previously often speculated about.
