Bosnia on the brink: Republika Srpska's secession push vs the state
Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik's drive to pull Republika Srpska out of Bosnia's central institutions has triggered the worst crisis since the 1990s war.
The summary above is a neutral framing. Below, each side reports the same story in its own words — judge for yourself.
Dodik and his allies frame the push as defending Serb autonomy and self-rule against an overreaching state court and foreign (international high representative) interference in Bosnia's affairs.
Bosniaks, Croats and Western governments warn that secession threatens the constitutional order and the Dayton peace — with war-time returnees in Republika Srpska fearing they may be forced out again.
