Bosnia Climbs Up EU Agenda as Serb Secession Talk Stokes Worry.

The article focuses on rising concerns at a European Union summit over the potential disintegration of Bosnia-Herzegovina, driven by threats of secession from its Serb leader, Milorad Dodik. Dodik, who leads the Republika Srpska entity, has escalated tensions by severing ties with the central government and pursuing a separate judiciary and police, challenging the post-war Dayton Accord framework. This situation raises fears of renewed instability in southeastern Europe amid broader geopolitical uncertainties, including shifting US foreign policy and Russian and Hungarian support for Dodik. The EU and Western diplomats view the developments as a significant threat to regional stability.
