Blinken's adviser tells Dodik on the phone what he expects if he continues with the implementation of his plan

Derek Chollet, State Secretary Antony Blinken's adviser, has had a telephone conversation with the BiH presidency member and SNSD leader Milorad Dodik, sending him a clear message on what to expect if he continues to implement his plan.

Chollet has indicated to Dodik that Republika Srpska's governing coalition steps to undermine BiH institutions were unacceptable.

Corruption and antiDayton action will have consequences. There should be a return to dialogue within the institutions of the BiH”, Chollet said, broadcast Dnevni Avaz.

On the same day, Germany, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Minister Annalena Baerbock, began activities to impose sanctions on Milorad Dodik and Republika Srpska authorities.

Even though US Special Envoy for the Matthew Electoral Reform Palmer and European Foreign Action Service Director Angelina Eichhorst announced on Wednesday that they were suspending talks on changing the Electoral Code, this certainly should not be taken as a warning of a possible cooling of Western powers against our country. .

The initiative we have witnessed over the past few months is multiethnic, with negotiations on changing the Electoral Law being only a segment of this commitment. The goal of reaching an agreement on the Electoral Law is, first of all, to resolve relations in the Federation of BiH and eliminate political conflict between Bosniaks and Croats, so that this subject can function fully and weaken or undermine Dodik's alliance with Dragan Covovic, the Bosnian medium writes.

Lifting negotiations on this issue due to the inability to reach the agreement does not mean that this issue will remain unresolved or that Western powers in our country will neglect other activities.

The US administration declared a ruthless fight against corruption in the region, which was clearly highlighted as a priority by special American envoy for the Western Balkans Gabriel Escobar. The names of people who were put on the blacklist because of corruption are being published, and it is certain that many local political officials, their collaborators and funders will not be spared.

Also, after the government's change could be expected a completely different German policy towards Bosnia and Herzegovina. The parties of the new German ruling coalition -- primarily the FDP Liberal and Green -- are taking a much tougher stance on Russia than the CDU, and the movements of new Foreign Minister Burbock clearly declare a much tougher approach to Dodik's separatist policies.

German Foreign Ministry spokesman Christofer Burger spoke yesterday of German diplomacy plans and Minister Annalena Baerbock about the possible deployment of sanctions against Dodik and Republika Srpska authorities because of the Secesionist activities.

After the meeting, Baerbox said the EU should send a clear signal against secession efforts and ensure that Dodik and Republika Srpska's devastating policies do not go through without consequences.
