Does the international community still believe in a civic, democratic Bosnia—or is it ready to accept permanent limbo?
My new piece for the #REUNIRblog on how the Dayton Agreement froze Bosnia’s future and why reform must be democratic, not nationalist.

if this was a post about a balkan country it'd be called a prelude or precursor to significant political violence and it'd be 1991
Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.
