“The Dayton Accords are unraveling; not with a bang, but with a smirk. In February 2025, Republika Srpska’s elected president, Milorad Dodik, was convicted by the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina on charges of ‘non-implementation of decisions’ issued by the Office of the High Representative (OHR), and sentenced in absentia to a year in prison and a six-year ban from public office. The West insists that Bosnia’s laws be respected. But those laws are subject to veto by a foreigner – the unelected High Representative, Christian Schmidt, a German appointee, who is still issuing decrees like a Habsburg governor. The OHR was supposed to be a short-term babysitter, not Bosnia’s eternal stepfather. Yet here we are, three decades later, with a German bureaucrat still overruling local authorities as if he runs the place, which, technically, he does.” (06/10/25)
