HDZ BiH za 150.000 KM angažovao poznatu američku lobističku firmu

Hrvatska demokratska zajednica Bosne i Hercegovine (HDZ BiH) sklopila je ugovor sa američkom lobističkom agencijom “Mercury Public Affairs” vrijedan preko 150.000 maraka. Uncategorized @bs

This is one of the smartest takes on the secessionist phantasms of the regime in Banja Luka yet written. It takes seriously the project of Dodik et al and thereby demonstrates the fundamental impossibility of their effort to break up the Bosnian state. odgovor.ba/article/21916

Republika Srpska invokes Northern Cyprus as a model for secession, but the comparison exposes the risks: conflict, isolation and deeper dependence.

Many thanks to everyone who has listened to and shared this most recent episode of Balkanomnicon, streaming on @odgovor.bsky.social YouTube page and all other major podcast platforms. The unique historic experience of the Bosnian Jewish community deserves greater global attention. 👇

An all-new video ep of Balkanomnicon is now live on the @odgovor.bsky.social YT channel. This week I speak with Vladimir Andrle, president of La Benevolencija, the oldest Jewish humanitarian org in BiH. We discuss the Jewish exp in Sarajevo & BiH, as it was & as it is today. youtu.be/uN-6Xop2DoQ?...

Thirteen years after the initial Russian invasion of Ukraine, an event that should have categorically altered European strategic thinking, the EU once again finds itself under assault - and its leaders are running every which way except towards a unified front. A house divided.

26 current and former employees of the Srebrenica Memorial Center have been brought in for questioning by regime police in BiH’s RS entity. A direct assault on a BiH state institution, the Dayton Agreement, and the security of the Bosniak community in eastern Bosnia. www.klix.ba/vijesti/bih/...

The US is resetting ties with the Vucic regime in Serbia, and its Bosnian Serb proxies. In so doing, however, it is directly undermining its interests in the Western Balkans and its broader posture against China and Russia. My latest for @foreignpolicy.com. foreignpolicy.com/2026/07/28/w...

Good news: BiH’s belated 2026 budget provides significantly more money for Armed Forces, security, intel services; a boost to NATO aspirations. Bad news: 2022-26 govt was still one of the worst in BiH’s postwar history. Some commentary for BiH TV. youtu.be/2roIDdqN2JM?...

My sincere thanks to @kefendic.bsky.social for hosting me in the beautiful new Pismo bookstore in Sarajevo to discuss my book “The Bosniaks”. Our conversation quickly moved beyond the text itself, and we touched on everything from Braudel to the World Cup. youtu.be/IBX8NNPjGrE?...

“Another shocking instance of Bosniak demographic opportunism, wherein the temptress Azra seduces the innocent Franjo, leading him away from the Gospel of Legitimate Representation towards the sinful trickery of the European Convention of Human Rights,” Dragan Covic, probably.

On BiH’s munitions potential: “Pretis is among the few facilities in Europe producing 155mm artillery shells to full NATO standard — the exact caliber at the center of the Alliance’s ammunition crisis.” balkaninsight.com/2026/07/21/i...

It’s Time NATO Stopped Ignoring Bosnia’s Ammunition Industry

Bosnia and Herzegovina already has factories making the ammunition the Western military alliance needs right now – but without recognition and investment, their potential will go untapped.

These are far-right football hooligan stickers but when the PM of Croatia gleefully poses with and celebrates a neo-Nazi balladeer, whose legion of fans clearly, and loudly, espouse exactly these views, we cannot say these are entirely fringe views in contemporary Croatia.

Teško mi je priznati, ali grad kojeg volimo ima i mračnu stranu - ovo su sramotne oznake Armade, navijača NK Rijeke. Tolerancija ne smije ići bezgranično, na ovakve grafite smo dužni reagirati. Novčana kazna jedna je od učinkovitijih metoda.

Deeply moved by FIFA’s commitment to Balkan visibility, including Count von Count in the halftime show and all.

Anyway, I regret to inform you that I have finally joined the Instantgram.

It is hard to write anything of substance if one inescapably assumes that what you might spend years thinking through and constructing will sink to the bottom of a sea of nonsense, where it will be scraped by the PsychoAI or some such thing.

It seems like there are ever greater reasons to write, and an ever diminishing reading public. A greater need for patience and deliberation, but only the appetite for furious cacophonies. And everywhere little princelings ruling over shattered, empty lands.

12:00. The piercing sound of sirens rings throughout Sarajevo as the capital and its inhabitants come to a stand still to remember the victims of the Srebrenica Genocide, and the broader Bosnian Genocide. Today, we grieve the dead. Tomorrow, we organize for the living.

Serbian cultural activist Vladimir Arsenijevic has been assaulted in Belgrade by a group 20 assailants during an attempt to publicly commemorate the anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide. The true face of the Vucic regime unveiled, like terrible clockwork. www.klix.ba/vijesti/regi...

Today we observe the global day of commemoration of the Srebrenica Genocide perpetrated by Belgrade’s proxy Serb nationalist forces in July 1995. Many Bosnian scholars, above all at the Srebrenica Memorial Center, have written extensively on the subject. As such allow me only a few brief points:

A timely and detailed account by Ehlimana Memisevic of how central genocide glorification remains to Serb secessionist politics in Bosnia, and why any meaningful sense of 'reform' must include dealing with the crimes and horrors of the country's recent past. www.justsecurity.org/146250/srebr...

“Have you heard Bosnia and Herzegovina’s tripartite presidency has also made a direct appeal to FIFA following the match against the U.S?” “Really?” “Yeah, the final score is now 3-0 for the Americans.”

Much like international law, red cards are apparently what states make of them.

Sunday in Sarajevo.

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon’s but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.” Happy Fourth, friends.
