Rather than acknowledging responsibility for the carnage, ultra-nationalist Republika Srpska politicians and their acolytes have spent the past twenty-six years denying that what took place at Srebrenica constituted a genocide and instead are shamelessly fabricating an alternate—and false –scenario.
So we see Poland and Turkey taking on greater significance as a result of the war, and China losing significance. There are many other reverberations. I chose these three, if it is not already obvious, because in my book “The Next 100 Years” I predicted the rise of Poland and Turkey and the decline of China.
Democratic values were already under threat around the world before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Now we need to rekindle the spirit of 1989.
Beginning in 1995, after the Dayton Accords ended the Bosnian War, we made an agreement to add Russian troops to the peacekeeping forces that NATO had on the ground in Bosnia. In 1997, we supported the NATO-Russia Founding Act, which gave Russia a voice but not a veto in NATO affairs, and supported Russia’s entry to the G7, making it the G8.

Dr. Nada Klaić: "However, these unskillful projections on the Serbness of Bosnia are worth as much as Šišić's proof of the Croatness of Bosnia. However, the uncritical report of Constantine Porphyrogenitus on the Sclavinias can serve as a basis for conclusions only to those historians who do not care too much about historical truth. It is mostly of the same value as Dukljanin's news of Croatian...
