Mladen Ivanic, chair of the BiH Presidency, responded to questions this week concerning BiH’s potential candidacy for NATO membership. Mr. Ivanic raised both technical considerations and the likely discomfort of BiH’s neighbor.
“Because that would mean that tomorrow NATO units could be on the border of Bosnia-Herzegovina and shoot at Serbia. Bosnia-Herzegovina is not even close to meeting the requirements for NATO.”
Ivanic thinks that a prerequisite for stability in the Balkans is good cooperation, and “normal and healthy relations” between Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia.
