Republika Srpska

[Loki]

Bosnia & Hercegovina is a very multi-ethnic country, with Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats:



What should the future hold for the country - specifically Republika Srpska? The area seems very independent from the rest of BiH.



Please vote in the poll that is to come.

Incorporation.
Republika Srpska and its citizens are not fully at ease in Bosnia. Serbia has been constantly attacked and dismembered for the last decade, fairness dictates it gets compensation to remain strong and united.

separating RS from Bosnia would be the best solution for both sides. I personaly think it should be part of Serbia or in union with it.

It certainly would be interesting to see how long it would take for RS to want independence from Serbia. Montenegro has always throughout history been considered the Serbian Sparta but even they were fed up and opted out in the end

btw Loki, the map you posted was before the Yugoslavian Wars and the massive population exchanges.
Here's a map of 2005:

It should be Serbia.

Let see, they don't even have funds to pay the soldiers that fought for its existence...Karadzic party told that today's RS government ruined RS...They indeed did it selling public held compagnies that used to make profit...Except Banja Luka no real big city...
Lets see what the population census tells.

[Gospodine]

Ordinarily I would say yes, as long as it's due to a transparent, non-Western mediated referendum but since Kosovo popped it's cherry... fuck no.

We do not need more secessionist movements in the Balkans.

Serbia should get Kosovo back, well before RS is up for the chopping block.

How rich is the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina? Rolling on money?

The only reason this artificial arrangement remains, is because of the agreements that were signed after the intervention of NATO in the late 90s. Pure Atlantist will to weaken Serbia.

Well, communism created new Montenegrin ethnicity lately fueled by criminals and money grabers like Milo Đukanović. Even without that we are really into local patriotism, we want to be in charge all the time and even the Montenegrin Serbs love Montenegro a bit more than Serbia. On the other side, people in RS declare as Serbs, see Serbia as their motherland. So that makes them easier to live in union with Serbia without feeling that they are left aside.
