THE GUARDIAN: Exclusive: high representative says threat by Serb separatists to create their own army risks return of conflict

In a report to the UN seen by the Guardian, Christian Schmidt, the high representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that if Serb separatists carry out their threat to recreate their own army, splitting the national armed forces in two, more international peacekeepers would have to be sent back in to stop the slide towards a new war. » | Julian Borger, World affairs editor | Tuesday, November 2, 2021
