US Republican Senator Chuck Grassley stated that after the president of Republika Srpska (RS) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, "now the separatists among the Bosnian Croats are taking action," adding that this will not end well for the separatists.
"Milorad Dodik is a Bosnian Serb leader who supports separatism. Now separatists among the Bosnian Croats are also taking action. This is a worrying echo of events in the 1990s when many had to flee in the midst of war and genocide. It didn't end well for the separatists then, and it won't end well today," Grassley wrote on the X network.
The authorities of Republika Srpska, led by Dodik, have attempted to ban the work of state judicial and police institutions on the territory of this entity, threatening secession. The law that introduced the ban was struck down by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but the RS does not want to implement the decision.
Previously, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on the X network that the actions of the President of the Bosnian entity Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, undermine the institutions of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and threaten its security and stability. He then told Voice of America on March 10 that the US was considering various options regarding the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but that it was clear that the breakup of the state and a new conflict must not occur.
"We don't want any divisions there...The last thing we need is another crisis, and we've already made our case," Rubio said.
