France’s far-right National Rally sent a senior delegation to a banned Bosnian Serb public holiday ceremony, allowing Milorad Dodik to claim support from Europe in his standoff with Sarajevo. The party’s leader, Marine Le Pen, is mounting a strong bid to take the French presidency in April.

State Prosecution filed 15 war crime indictments against 39 persons this year, less than in 2020, including four persons who were previously convicted by the Hague Tribunal and State Court.

Legal changes banning the denial of genocide, imposed by Bosnia and Herzegovina’s top international official, caused the Bosnian Serb leadership to threaten to pull out of the country’s tax system, judiciary and army.

Russian government-backed foundations have been holding events to promote reports denying the 1995 Srebrenica genocide, as Moscow seeks to exploit divisions in Bosnia and Herzegovina and increase its influence among the country’s Serbs.

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s top international official imposed a ban on the glorification of war criminals and urged municipal authorities to remove murals of convicted offenders like Ratko Mladic – but many have ignored him.

The Bosnian authorities are promising the European Union to switch to cleaner energy sources to reduce carbon emissions, but at the same time, foreign investors from countries like China, Turkey and Russia are being allowed to invest in plants that pollute the environment.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik is threatening to escalate his efforts to cut ties between the Republika Srpska and the rest of Bosnia. But how far are his threats and claims based in fact?

In the summer of 1992, the bodies of 114 Bosniak and Croat civilians were found in two mass graves at a municipal dump and a cemetery in the town of Mostar, but decades on, no one has prosecuted for their murders.

A year after the identity of a protected witness in a Srebrenica genocide trial was publicly revealed by media in Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska, putting his safety at risk, the Bosnian prosecution has not brought any charges.

Salafi preacher Husein Bilal Bosnic was convicted of recruiting people to go and fight for Islamic State, but while he was in prison, the Islamist militant group was defeated in Syria and other preachers in Bosnia and Herzegovina have changed their tactics.
