From the very beginning, Bosnia and Herzegovina has been established by three (later two) parties who couldn’t find common interest. One side, without any rights, considers itself as ’’masters’’ or ingenious inhabitants of Bosnia, which is ridiculous [...]
SERBIAN SETTLEMENT IN BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA BEGAN IN THE SEVENTH CENTURY A.D.
Note: Croats settled much later and in insignificant numbers. That is why they are not mentioned much in the literature.
THE EMPEROR CONSTANTINE VII PORPHYROGENITUS (reigned 913-957) REFERRED TO BOSNIA AS PART OF *THE LAND OF THE SERBS*.
BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA… THE LARGEST SINGLE NATIONAL ELEMENT IS THE ORTHODOX SERBS, followed by Moslem Slavs (few of whom can trace their origin to Turkish colonists) and Catholic Croats…
…The republics of Croatia and Slovenia are predominantly Roman Catholic, while the republics of Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro, and BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA (!!!) are predominantly ORTHODOX
In the ’90-ies Alija Izetbegovic, former SS Hadschar member, Islamist. Alija Izetbegovic promoted a violent Muslim fundamentalist ideology. One can see that by reading from Izetbegovic’s own book ‘Islamic Declaration,’ where he explains very clearly that Muslims may not organize under any secular system and that the only proper behaviour towards ‘infidels’ is violence. Alija Izetbegovic did not speak for all Bosnian Muslims. In fact, he spoke for a minority of them, but what he spoke:
“There’s no peace or coexistence between the Islamic faith and non-Islamic social and political institutions.”
’’There is a great reluctance in the West to recognize that the fighting in Bosnia is a resurgence of the conflict between Islam and Christendom which shaped five centuries of Balkan history.’’
’’Muslim nations will never accept anything that is explicitly against Islam, because Islam here is not merely a faith and the law, Islam has become love and compassion. He who rises against Islam will reap nothing but hate’’ etc.
Therefore, we have radical Islamists led by the former SS officer, supported by the USA and her allies (EU, Arabs, Iran – there was a strong alliance between the USA and Iran in Bosnia during the war), and neonazi Croats, and Serbs. And we have NATO as well.
Nato was engaged against Serbs (some would say – traditionally), who were bombed (August – September 1995.) meanwhile Bosnian Muslims and Croats were armed and equipped besides embargo (the author has personal information about the weapon flow via Split airport).
After 1995, when the Dayton treaty was signed, NATO remained in Bosnia under the name of SFOR (the Stabilization Force in Bosnia and Herzegovina) in order to ’’ensure peace.’’ Meanwhile the ’’high representatives have used every opportunity to reduce the authorities Republika Srpska got on behalf of Muslim – Croatian federation. Later on it was replaced by EUFOR. But since more than 80% of HQ and staff remained on their positions, it was just the title that changed. The change occurred on December 2, 2004.
The civilian implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement is overseen by the Office of the High Representative. EUFOR has 2,503 troops from 27 different countries, also additional forces from other countries, such as Chile and Turkey .
EUFOR’s commander is currently Major General Anton Valder of Austria, who has been in the position since March 2017. For this mission, the European Union Military Staff uses the Supreme Allied Command in Europe as the EU Operational Command and works through the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Powers in Europe, a European officer.
…and: EUFOR activity has been conducted through NATO Headquarters in Sarajevo. – Bosnia i Hercegovina is not in NATO, but NATO is in Bosnia.
In March 2015, EUFOR had a total of 660 troops from 23 countries. The countries participating in the mission are: EU: Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, United Kingdom, Finland, France, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Sweden and Spain.
The civilian implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement is overseen by the Office of the High Representative. EUFOR has 2,503 troops from 27 different countries, mostly from European Union member states. There are also additional forces from other countries, such as Chile and Turkey .
It might be interesting to see that the EUFOR commanders came from WW II Nazi states /except the case of UK could be discussed.
Also, out of 13, eight of them were Austrians. If we know the Austrian historical aspirations in Bosnia, and what happened after the Austria anected Bosnia, as well as the role of notorious Austrian envoy Benjamin Kalaj (1839 – 1903) in creation of some Bosnian (exclusively Muslim) identity, his anti Serb measures – it becomes clear that in this case, there’s no coincidence. As for Russia, seems that she’ll not actively interfere neither in Bosnia nor in Kosovo. Moscow supports every agreement the two sided achieve, but the support, at least in Balkans, remains verbal.
However, after the latest declaration of the notorious SDA, political party (some say ’personal enterprise’’) of the Izetbegovic family, which urges for Republic of Srpska to be cancelled (’’for the unification of Bosnia i Hercegovina’’, under the Muslim rule) it goes directly against the Dayton accords.
But the so called international community as well as their High representative remains silent and simply turns blind eye to this violation.
Let’s analyze it: Republika Srpska is against joining NATO (NATO actively participated in war(s) in the area, without exception targeting and killing Serbs and helping their enemies, ’’ from the Vardar up to Triglav’. NATO bombed Republika Srpska in August 1995. NATO participated in the so called op. Storm, when the Krajina ceased to exist and when Krajina Serbs were massacred, murdered and exterminated.
NATO made an alliance with Al Qaeda both in Bosnia and in Kosovo, in order to fight the Serbs.
Even though NATO IS in Bosnia (as well as in Belgrade), for Serbs from both sides of the Drina river, joining NATO would have been as if some raped girl is being forced to marry the one who did it to her.
When it comes to the Muslim illegal resolution, global(ist) media also turns blind eye. Since both Serbia and Russia are parties in the accords, they could and should react but both states remain silent.
As for NATO, this is their opportunity – Serbs and Repubika Srpska represent an obstacle for NATO, and last week Izetbegovic de facto demanded cancellation of the Republic of Srpska.
”but rather to ensure, as time passes and the circumstances change, that it makes things ’’functional’’.
That means the reforms are going to be necessary, the reforms concerning the institutions and their functions. That’s why the treaty needs an evolution.’’
Since it’s Republika Srpska that keeps Bosnia and Hercegovina out of NATO by the right to VETO provided by the Dayton treaty, it’s not difficult to see not only what kind of changes (’’evolution’’) of the treaty USA is up to as well as that the old alliance between Bosnian Muslims (SDA) works in perfect coordination.
The meeting between president of Serbia and parliamentaries from the Republic of Srpska will be held in Belgrade on Saturday, 21. September.
Let’s see what will happen then.

The title page of Rūta Vanagaitė’s best-known book contains two pictures of young men. “This one is a Jew,” she said, pointing at the picture on the left. “He was a bicycle-racing champion. Good enough to represent Lithuania in international competitions, but not good enough to live.” He was executed during the Holocaust. The man in the picture on the right was a Lithuanian executioner. “They are both us,” Vanagaitė explained. “But Lithuanians don’t like to think of them as ‘us,’ because one is a Jew and the other is a killer.” Her book is called “Us.” (The title has ...
War is evil; permanent war is permanent evil. It is evil to humans but also to other species and the planet; the weapons used destroy us but also contaminate and destroy nature.Despite a general knowledge of the evils of war and acceptance of peace and the rule of law, war has become a permanent feature of the 21st century -destructive, cruel, dehumanizing and vindictive. Its message: those who can kill and destroy the most have the upper hand. Major General Smedley Butler said it in a speech in 1933: “war is a racket.” Butler, who had joined the Marine Corps ...
Another NATO Intervention?Less than a dozen years after NATO bombed Yugoslavia into pieces, detaching the province of Kosovo from Serbia, there are signs that the military alliance is gearing up for another victorious little “humanitarian war”, this time against Libya. The differences are, of course, enormous. But let’s look at some of the disturbing similarities.A demonized leaderAs “the new Hitler”, the man you love to hate and need to destroy, Slobodan Milosevic was a neophyte in 1999 compared to Muammar Qaddafi today. The media had less than a decade to turn Milosevic into a monster, whereas with Qaddafi, they’ve been ...
General Draza Mihailovich with the people during WWII. Contrary to General Mihailovich, Communist leader "Marshall" Josip Broz Tito posses no one photograph with the people of Yugoslavia from the wartime In 1971, the movie Klopka za generala, A Trap for the General, was released in Yugoslavia directed by Miomir “Miki” Stamenkovic starring Rade Markovic, Ljuba Tadic, and Bekim Fehmiu. The screenplay was by Dragan Markovic and Luka Pavlovic. The film was produced by the Sarajevo-based company Bosna Film of Yugoslavia and featured a cast made up of Serbian, Bosnian Muslim, and Albanian Muslim actors. The film was released in Serbian ...
It is hardly a coincidence that the Declaration of Independence, Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations, and Johann Friedrich Blumenbach’s On the Natural Variety of Mankind were all published within a year of one another, for each supports a necessary aspect of a larger, integrated project. Not only was the rationale for seizing political power (provided by the Declaration) supported by Smith’s popular text (which justified rule by the wealthy business class). Because this wealth and power was contingent on slavery, and territories seized by conquest, Blumenbach’s theory that the “Caucasian race” (a designation he coined, by the way) was the supreme race was ...
One can only imagine the risk when some citizens of a small country conceal hundreds of thousands of weapons and explosives. The nation becomes a powder keg, awaiting one small mistake to spark a deadly explosion.This is the situation currently in Albania. During the civil war of 1997, military depots were looted, and more than 650,000 guns, 1.5 billion bullets, 3.5 million grenades and 1 million landmines were stolen from military warehouses by various criminal groups and the Kosovo Liberation Army.The government has attempted to resolve, or at least reduce, this serious problem. Since 1997, it has announced three amnesty ...
As colonial monuments are being destroyed in the U.S. and Europe, Mount Rushmore so far remains untouched and a news item since U.S. President Donald Trump visited the site on July 4 to commemorate Independence Day. Fireworks and fighter jets dominated a territorial space that is laden with the memory of colonial violence against the indigenous American Indians.A treaty signed in 1868 between the U.S. government and the Sioux people recognised the Black Hills in South Dakota as exclusive to the indigenous. The agreement was toppled in 1874 when gold was discovered in the Black Hills in a mining expedition ...
Here it is, that time of year (the fourth Thursday in November) when we are all beseeched to consider “what we are thankful for.” This invitation to a mass cultural ritual targets everyone regardless of race, creed or sex (or these days, gender). The conformity of thought it reinforces does not discriminate among such superficial characteristics; it goes way deeper. The fundamentals (literally, the foundational elements) of the “American” mind are laid each year at this time.Those fundamentals hold that we are a strong, brave, resourceful people – whether by our evolved nature or by the grant of a deity ...
The official end of the Cold War era in 1989 brought during the first coming years a kind of international optimism that the idea of the „end of history“ really could be realized as it was a belief in no reason for the geopolitical struggles between the most powerful states. The New World Order, spoken out firstly by M. Gorbachev in his address to the UN on December 7th, 1988 was originally seen as the order of equal partnership in world politics reflecting „radically different international circumstances after the Cold War“.[1]Unfortunately, the Cold War era finished without the „end of ...
“Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Keep in mind that, much sooner than later, the great avenues will again be opened through which will pass free men to construct a better society. Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!” President Salvador Allende’s farewell speech, 11 September 1973.“It’s hard to find someone with the fighting spirit, courage and the story of Allende. He was a man who actually had the branded name in history: democratically the left came ...

Information available to experts on international terrorism indicate that Bosnia Herzegovina is presently one of the epicentres of extremist Islamic circles in Europe, as it represents a hub for potential Islamic terrorists – the so called “white” or “European” Al-Qaeda .Money from Islamic countries that is laundered through “humanitarian” organizations finances the religious education of at least 100,000 young Bosnian Muslims. In addition to such education, which follows the interpretations of Wahhabi Islam, there is another type of “training” in various officially registered camps throughout the B-H Federation. There, the young and carefully selected Wahhabis attend “additional courses” in marksmanship, ...
Unless Syria will simply hand its most heavily pro-jihadist province, Idlib, to adjoining Turkey, which claims to have 30,000 troops there and is planning to add 20,000 more, World War III will probably happen soon, and here is why:Russia’s troops are in Syria at the invitation of Syria’s Government and they have provided crucial assistance to restore the Government’s control over areas that the jihadists (sometimes called “Radical Islamic Terrorists” or otherwise) had seized. Consequently, unlike the Turks and the Americans, who are invaders of Syria, Russia is instead a defender of Syria, and is committed to doing there only ...

Romantic nationalism and the BalkansIn the 19th century, Europe witnessed the rise of romantic nationalism, which created contemporary nations.[i] Many European states, based on the concept of ethnicity (common origin, culture, history, language, and tradition), were founded at the time, including the people living in the territories of Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, and Romania. However, a number of contemporary regional nations remained at that time without their national states like Slovenians, Croatians, Macedonians, and Albanians. Some of these nations temporarily solved in the 20th century their national aspirations via common states, like Croats, Slovenians, and Macedonians (within several ...

The Syrian battlefield is now witnessing an escalation of the war. This is despite the fact that it is supposed to be a time of cessation of hostilities brokered by the US and Russia.The Syrian war has two major fronts. The first and most important is in southern Syria, on the borderline with Israel and the occupied territories of the Syrian Golan Heights. This area is divided into two areas: the liberated area of Al-Quneitra, and the occupied area of the Golan Heights where Jabhat Al-Nusra and Al-Qaeda’s base their fighters.Israel has been attempting to drive the Syrian army out ...
This is definitely an unusual book, as heralded by its title and three subtitles, whose lengthy wording evokes that of several learned tomes of the 18th and early 19thcentury.Its author is a well-known personality in Switzerland. Guy Mettan is a prominent journalist, formerly editor-in-chief of Tribune de Genève; he once presided over the Great Council, the Geneva parliament, of which he is still a representative, elected on the Christian Democrat Party list; he heads the Swiss Press Club and has written several books on Switzerland and international Geneva.As he explains in his foreword, his interest for Russia came by happenstance: ...
The assassination of Kosovo’s Serb leader Oliver Ivanović on January 16th, 2018 in the northern (the Serb) part of the divided city of Kosovska Mitrovica once again put on the agenda both the issue of contested land of Kosovo and Serbia’s policy toward the West, in particular, the EU.The Western (the USA/EU) client Serbia’s government is a quite long time under the direct pressure from Brussels to recognize an independence of the narco-mafia Kosovo’s quasi-state for the exchange to join the EU but not before 2025. It is only a question of time that a Western colony of Serbia has ...
