Dodik Without Vucic’s Support

.Milorad Dodik, Aleksandar Vucic, Belgrade, September 11 2020 (BETAPHOTO/MILOS MISKOV/DS)

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has had a very lukewarm reaction to the latest worsening of the political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina, thus demonstrating a lack of a readiness to back the latest moves by Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, who is through them strongly opposing the leading western countries. The main reason for Vucic’s sticking to the sidelines is the fact that he is in a complex position that does not leave him room for additional disagreements with the West.
