Clinton's legacy glows brighter every day.
And State departamnt allready stands on Muslim side... again...
A U.S. envoy says Bosnia-Herzegovina is a sovereign state and the Bosnian Serb entity cannot secede.
U.S. Ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina Douglas McElhaney said there is no secession for the Bosnian Serb-led Republika Srpska, Belgrade's Beta news agency reported Thursday.
Earlier this summer Bosnian Serbs leaders suggested they could organize an independence referendum to secede from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
With the 1995 Dayton peace accords that ended the Bosnian ethnic wars, the Republika Srpska entity and the Muslim-Croatian federation entity were declared constituent parts of the single state of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
"The status of Bosnia-Herzegovina has been solved. I am not aware of any reference in the constitution about secession or a referendum. That is simply not an option, and if somebody wants to change the constitution, he must have a two-thirds majority in parliament," McElhaney told Bosnian news agencies.
McElhaney said he believes parliamentary elections in October will not bring no major changes, as the essence of elections and democracy is that one group of people are stepping down from power while the others are replacing them.

Tell me about it. I was there.
It's also pretty interesting to note how many of the so-called "neo-conservatives" in the current Bush administration were unabashed supporters of the Clinton administration's policy in the Balkans.
Conservative, my @ss.
