Bosnia: Separatist laws suspended, EU to add peacekeepers DW 03/08/2025
Briefly

In response to rising tensions in Bosnia, the EU will temporarily expand its peacekeeping force following the suspension of separatist laws by the country's top court. This decision came after Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik ignored judicial authority with controversial legislation aimed at undermining federal institutions. The measures, which Dodik attempted to push through shortly after a court ruling against him, have reignited ethnic divides in the region. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned these developments, stressing the need for a collective push against actions that destabilize Bosnia and Herzegovina.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio highlighted the threat posed by Dodik's actions to Bosnia's security, urging regional partners to counter destabilizing behavior.
