Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned US Vice President Mike Pence of another war in the Western Balkans if the EU collapses, including as a result of Donald Trump encouraging member states to leave after Brexit.
Mike Pence was in Brussels on 20 February, but details of what was discussed were only disclosed by Juncker, who spoke to the Financial Times in an exclusive interview published today (24 March).
“I told the vice-president, ‘Do not say that. Do not invite others to leave, because if the European Union collapses, you will have a new war in the Western Balkans’,” Juncker said.
Juncker said it was important to offer countries in the region the prospect of EU membership: “If we leave them alone — Bosnia-Herzegovina, Republika Srpska, Macedonia, Albania, all those countries — we will have war again.” Republica Srpska is the Serbian entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. …

Who cares? ... Let it spread to all of Europe.
Get the US out of NATO and the UN and let 'em destroy themselves and Western Europe, too.
Anyone tough enough to defend will survive, otherwise they can serve their new masters.
Aside: That Euractive web site is as annoying as the average Elitist European.
The Serbs are the traditional stop gap to keep Turks and islam out of Europe. Clinton killed that and now Europe is over run with muzzies. Not a hard picture to see for the average onlooker.
The world is interconnected. There is NO WAY that the U.S. won’t be pulled into it.
Have you forgotten who pays for western Europe’s defense (in large part)?
We do.
There will be nothing but WAR in the world UNTIL CHRIST
returns to govern the world. Some countries foment more
war than others. GERMANY, for instance, has been a major
fomenter having to be “unfomented” quite a bit. WAR IS HELL.
LMAO.
“if you don’t let me have what I want, there will be war in europe”
Now, when have we heard that before . . .
Serbia
Note to the EU: Then it sucks to be you.
The part of Bosnia which is inhabited by Serbs.
Junker has things backwards. It is in Eastern European states, including the Balkans, where majorities of people are NOT in favor of many dictates from the EU, particularly the Schengen agreements. If the EU continues it’s bullying, there could be war in the Balkans, generated out of popular movements AGAINST the EU.
Wars tend to eradicate the wrong part of the gene pool.
The only war facing Europe is the war for western civilization with Islam. Juncker and his ilk are hastening an Islamic victory by kowtowing to the Muslims and inviting them into Europe in droves.
“We do.”
that needs to stop. let the EU pay for their own damn defense for a change.
Dearest juncker: So?
You do remember that Germany recognized the independence of Croatia and Slovenia in 1991, right? That really started conflicts going in Yugoslavia. And after Bush sets things up for Clinton to get in, Clinton goes in and does the EU’s bidding in the Balkans, never mind using the pretext of helping the “peaceful” Bosniak Muslims.
They really, really want to. They are just fine with depleting the USA’s strength beforehand, though; they don’t want competition.
An admission that requires the blame game to begin?
If they have no union, then let them have war
They’ve always wanted war. Funny thing is, they’ve always gotten it on their terms, even with letting the Muslims in—a tactic designed to induce demand for a strongman leader since the financial crisis did not do that.
