As I told the #FAZ:
“The greatest significance of this election lies in the fact that Milorad #Dodik has stepped down. In doing so, he has accepted the judgment of a judiciary that he had previously declared illegal.”

Viele sehen das Amt des Hohen Repräsentanten (#OHR) als unverzichtbar, um Zerfall und neuen Krieg zu verhindern.
Ich sehe das anders: Ein Jahrzehnt lang hat der Hohe Repräsentant tatenlos zugesehen, dennoch ist 🇧🇦 weder zerfallen noch in den Krieg zurückgekehrt.

Those hoping for major shifts during Johann #Wadephul’s Western #Balkans tour will have been disappointed.

Marking thirty years since the end of the war in 🇧🇦, I write in the 🇪🇸 daily newspaper @elmundo.es.web.brid.gy about my family’s return as refugees: the checkpoints, the silence, the fear in the car. A fragile country, suspended between a ceasefire and the search for closure.

For the 🇪🇺 to welcome new members, in 🇩🇪 both the #Bundestag and #Bundesrat must agree. If a vote took place today, a majority would be far from certain. This mirrors public sentiment: 🇩🇪 is among 4 members where, according to the September 2025 #Eurobarometer, there is no majority for enlargement.

Derzeit gibt es in 🇧🇦 sowie in weiten Teilen des westlichen #Balkans (🇦🇱 und 🇲🇪 ausgenommen), keinen europäischen Akteur, den die politischen Eliten wirklich ernst nehmen. Dennoch wird die neue 🇩🇪 Bundesregierung aufmerksam beobachtet.

2025 will be remembered as a year when all international instruments present in 🇧🇦 – from the EU-led military mission (#EUFOR) to the Office of the High Representative (#OHR) – were under internal pressure as well as pressure from the wider geopolitical situation.

Someone asked: what do we remember from the latest #BerlinProcess summit in #London?
Silence. Then someone said: “The photos with #King #Charles?”
