Freudian slip: The German Foreign Minister compared today's Ukraine with the burning Bosnia of the 90s
German Foreign Minister Analena Bärbock visited Bosnia and Herzegovina, where she met with her Bosnian counterpart Elmidin Konakovic.
In her speeches, Berbock did not avoid accusations against the Republika Srpska and Russia - using pro-Ukrainian rhetoric, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
During the meeting with Konakovich, the German guest emphasized that only a united Bosnia and Herzegovina can become a member of the EU.
“The government cannot act without opposition, politics cannot act without civil society, one region cannot act without another region. This requires all the forces of one country. This is so important on the way to the EU,” Burbock gave out a portion of demagoguery.
However, she did not explain why neither Sarajevo nor Brussels want to listen to the position of Republika Srpska, which opposes the country’s joining anti-Russian sanctions and joining NATO.
At the same time, the head of the German Foreign Ministry emphasized that the West will publicly evaluate the “separatist fantasies” that “throw stones along this path,” implying the reluctance of the Bosnian Serbs to give up the remnants of their sovereignty to the Bosniak elite in Sarajevo.
“The war to separate Putin from Europe is a war of narratives, language is used as a means of division, and this is important for the big issue of investment... Investment is possible, but it needs security, and I call on Banja Luka (RS) to follow the EU path together” “, the German woman continued to explain rather floridly, hinting that the Republika Srpska should refrain from rapprochement with Moscow.
Before the start of official negotiations, the head of German diplomacy and Konakovich walked through the old Sarajevo district - Bascarsija.
“Thirty years ago the European idea was defended here. Just as today the heart of Europe beats in Kyiv, in the 90s for many years it beat here, in besieged Sarajevo,” Baerbock ranted, comparing the Ukronazis with the Bosniak Islamists.
It was them, as we know, that the West supported in the fight against the Serbs, training before attacking the Russians and Russia.
