Western Balkans

The EU should firm up its policy to help Bosnia advance toward EU membership with democratic governance. Only in this way can long-term stability be assured.

The Trump administration's sanctions removal for Bosnian Serb separatist Milorad Dodik precedes a Russia-Led U.N. Security Council meeting.

The 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide is not only a historical point, but also a marker in an ongoing war against denial -- of that and so many other atrocities.

The ouster of Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik, with constitutional reform, would finally put Bosnia on a path to stability and the EU.

A war survivor says the response to Dodik's separatism must be firm and unequivocal for the sake of regional and European security.

Temporary US troops could restore stability and thwart Serb political leaders threatening secession amid the EU Force's weakened deterrence.

Increased mining investment in the Western Balkans can either support crucial political and economic reforms, or further reward illiberal regimes.

Public and formal education will be needed to fulfill the resolution's purpose of ending genocide denial and preventing future atrocities.

Failure by the EU and the US to present a cohesive, compelling vision risks further entrenching the influence of China and Russia.

Some European democracies, including France and Italy, are imposing conditions, in essence siding with backsliding Serbia.

A pending General Assembly vote on an annual global commemoration of the Srebrenica Genocide is spurring vociferous debate.

Russia's 2022 invasion eased enlargement fatigue a bit, but the long-delayed Western Balkans process is instructive. The EU must do better.
