The country no one wants

Ah, the Balkans - the gift that keeps on giving. Methinks this story is long from over.

A week into the political turmoil caused by reactions from Banja Luka and Belgrade to High Representative Miroslav Lajčak's latest measures, Mesić told Croatian Radio that the Republic of Srpska (RS) leadership wished to see disintegration of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Ethnic Serbs and Croats, as well as Bosniaks, are the three constituent nations in the two entities the country has been divided into after the end of the 1992-1995 war there.

"This is a serious gamble with Bosnia's and with their own future, since the international community cannot in any case accept the breakup of Bosnia-Herzegovina," Mesić said.

First week in DEC will be a big one for you old Kosovo hands. May need a new Balkans tag. Hey, there it is.
