70- War by Other Means: The Crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The last few months in Bosnia have been marked by moves towards secession and a flare-up of
ethnic tensions emanating from Republika Srpska, the Serb-majority entity of Bosnia and
Herzegovina established by the Dayton Peace Agreement which put an end to the 3 ½-year-long
Bosnian War. Commentators are describing the last few months as the worst political and security
crisis since the war ended in 1995.
In this episode, we discuss the current crisis and ask if what we are seeing in Bosnia is new to the
country or part of a longer trend. We also discuss what these past few months tell us about the
successes and shortcomings of formal peace agreements.
Political scientist and migration scholar Aida Ibričević and psychologist and peace scholar Inger
Skjelsbæk join Teuta Kukleci, Communicator at PRIO, for a conversation on the topic.
