Bosnia: Croat, Serb leaders to push for new entity
AKI ^ | 10/22/10 | staff

Sarajevo, 22 Oct. (AKI) – Bosnia's Croat and Serb leaders, Dragan Covic and Milorad Dodik, have agreed to to work together to create a Bosnian Croat entity. The move drew criticism from Muslims, who claimed it would lead to the "destruction of Bosnia."

Muslims, Croats and Serbs form the country's three largest groups but it is currently divided into a Serb entity and a Muslim-Croat federation, where Croats feel they are an oppressed minority.

“Each nationality in Bosnia should have its own area,” Covic said......

This is good news. It is also a good sign that Croats and Serbs recognize together who the real enemy is.

Ciao, Ciao!

Do you suppose the ignorant media will reflect back on the illegal bombing of Serbia by the U S? Do you suppose anyone is brave enough to divulge the lies that the Clinton cabal has fed us to justify that aggression against Serbia? Was the Muslim Bosnian alliance with the Saudis & Iranians to get the US to help them and punish the Christian Serbs a pro-American policy?

Sudan is going through the same thing. It will soon hold a referendum on whether the Christian/animist South will break-away from the Muslim North. It probably will spark a new war there.

In the long-run, it is impossible to form a political alliance with Muslims, especially given the foreign support they receive, and the large radical element which naturally is going to be found in almost any Muslim population.

Good, as NATO and Western Europe degenerate, Eastern Europeans recognize a common enemy, and act.

The move might backfire on both of them, because earlier attempts to break up Bosnia had led to a war, it [pro-Muslim Sarajevo daily Dnevni avaz] added.

I wonder if the muzies have placed their request for U.S. arms and advisors yet?

(Or, if that would only be a formality.)

No. I wish I could say otherwise, but no. The problem is that while the anti-Serb rhetoric may have begun as mantra by the Democrats, it ultimately became a bi-Partisan action. John McCain made his name nationally known by the illegal 1999 Bombing of Yugoslavia. George Bush recognized Kosovo as independent. Money was shamelessly stuffed in the campaign coffers on both sides of the aisle, until it reached a crescendo with both sides tripping over themselves to outdo each other in "punishing the Serbs" -- for Bosnia, for Kosovo, because Serbs breathe -- all for a buck -- and it's still going on. And the one who stuffed all those campaign coffers of even the Democrats? Who was the chief demonizer of the Serbs, even going so far as to burn the Serbian flag? He's running as "the Conservative" Senate Candidate from NY -- Joseph DioGuardi And unsurprisingly, he has his supporters even here on FR.

What gets support for promotion has nothing to do with the truth -- it has to do with the power and money behind whoever is supporting it and how whatever they are revealing affect vested interests. No, I don't expect the truth of all of this to reach TV screens in my lifetime.

How about we just mind our own business and let them live (or die) whatever way they chose, and draw their own borders? I believe in my own freedom, why shouldn't I believe in theirs? It's that pesky, "Do unto others..." idea that gets in the way of me telling others how to live, and it stops me every time I start redrawing the maps of the world in my head.

This ISN'T about forming a united Serb/Croat Christian Bosnia!

This is about Croats getting their own Croat entity within Bosnia, just like Serbs have. The advantage to the Croats is obvious. But the reason that Republika Srpska supports Croats getting their own entity is that it further decentralizes Bosnia. Right now the Serbs are the only ones taking the heat because they don't want to give up their Republika Srpska state to completely submit to the central Bosnian Muslim government. If Croats get a state of their own (from the Muslim/Croat Federation's land), it will further weaken the hold that Muslims have over them.

And this is precisely why the Euro rulers and the US State Department will never allow a Croat state within Bosnia -- they want the Serbs and the Croats to submit to the Muslims. They've wanted this from the beginning and they are determined to get it. Don't ask me why, because I have no idea why we supported an Islamist like Izetbegovic over the elected moderate secular Muslim, Fikret Adbic, (who'd already had made peace with the Serbs), in the first place.

Knowing what I do about the bizarre schizo behavior of the US and Europe in the Balkans, some of these crazy people who say that "the US created al Qaeda", don't sound so damn crazy anymore.

The idea is not to ally Serbs and Croats in new political entity, but to jointly support succession of Croat part of Muslim-Croat Federation ant establishing it as THIRD state in Bosnia.
So there will be no Srerb-Croat state bus Serb, Croat and Muslim STATES in Bosnia, leading to succession of fore mentioned two from Bosnia.

Yeah..I was just dreaming. A federation of Christian nations - working together, cooperating, and defending themselves against the Islamo-secular EU.

As for Bosnia breaking up—sure - the sooner the better. There is precedence after all...Yugoslavia and the Soviets did it. The artifically created Bosnia parastate should too.

The Croats never hesitated to declare independence during the war with Jugoslavia but are tentative to do so now. It’s yet another case of Croatian courage requiring Serbian testicles.

Than they had support of US, Europe and Vatican to do so against Yugoslavia.
But now US and EU allies are Muslims worldwide and Croats are not.
