State and Federal institutions are mostly silent, and are communicating with statements, qualifications, and condemnations. It is highly irresponsible and inappropriate for the situation, and also for their obligations. This is our, rather than their, home. We are supposed to resolve our problems with our neighbors. A dispute between a husband and a wife can be dealt with with the help of friends, and even temporarily put under control, but spouses live together and must ultimately resolve their issues.
Bosnian nations live together, literally in the same bed.
No one from outside can resolve their problems. The outsiders can only help. Numerous solutions offered by the international community are of doubtful utility and are mostly short-term solutions. In most of their work the most important issues are photo-ops, media presentation, pacification of problems, and very frequently true causes of the crisis and factors leading to it are ignored. We must be realistic and admit that they cannot do that, nor should they.
