Croatia's Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic expressed his concerns about European sanctions against the Republika Srpska in a current statement. This view became clear during a meeting of the Croatian top government in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, with members of the HDZ BIH. According to Kosmo , Plenkovic has emphasized the importance of dialogue, especially due to the geographical proximity to Bosnia and Herzegowina.

Plenkovic warned that the already imposed sanctions of Germany and Austria could further tighten the situation against leading politicians from Republika Srpska. There were also discussions about possible sanctions in Great Britain and Sweden. He emphasized that these measures may lead to larger tensions and weaker functionality of the political structures in the region.

dialog instead of confrontation

The Croatian Prime Minister instead demands solutions between the political parties of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Plenkovic underlined the need for harmonious cooperation, while he described the European integration process as a decisive factor for the region. This process should ensure equality of the constituent ethnic groups, especially the Croatian community.

Economic development and legislative alignment with European legal stock, according to Plenkovic, are further elements for successful integration. In addition, he spoke about the security aspect in view of global crises, emphasizing that the population of Bosnia would benefit from faster EU approach.

The political situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina

In parallel to these developments, the public prosecutor of Bosnia and Herzegovina calls for the summons of prominent politicians, including Milorad Dodik, Radovan Višković and Nenad Stevandić. Dodik recently announced the adoption of a new constitution in the Republika Srpska and compared the current political situation with the decay of Yugoslavia. These statements ensure concern because they could endanger the stability in the region, such as EU MPs discuss the challenges caused by the Serbian threats for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Agricultural Commissioner Christophe Hansen emphasized the need for reforms to secure the expected investments in the western Balkans. Critical voices from Parliament require a clear conviction of separatist tendencies and support a sovereign Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Meanwhile, MPs like Gordan Bosanac from the Greens and before Ivo Stier from the HDZ for measures to counter further destabilizations. Stier calls on the EU, the USA and NATO, to strengthen Bosnia and to take a clear attitude towards Serbia policy.

In view of all political tensions, the question remains how the European community will react to current developments and to what extent this will influence the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
