"Sovereign people in Bosnia and Herzegovina can each say for themselves what they want, but not for other people as well."

"It was one of the conclusions made in this Assembly. We shall disable you [ARBiH] to carry out violence against Serbian people, constitution violence in front of local and international public. Because after the constitution violence, all other violence will come. We won't be consulted regarding the situation anymore. We won't be consulted if we come into the situation in which Slovenia and Croatia are in, especially Croatia, knowing that in Bosnia and Herzegovina that hell would be 1.000 times worse and there would be no way to stop it. I must send a message to all delegates. Gentlemen, believe me, even if you would make— if you were to make it because we have the constitutional manner to prevent you from voting, but even if you would make something that would be the source of shame for Mr. Izetbegović in The Hague because we would have other ways to make it impossible, even in The Hague. It would also be a great shame for the image of this parliament in Europe, especially, you're embarrassing Croats and Muslims who are loyal to this idea. Your shame and your prove how much you respect sovereignty and equality of Serbian people of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I'm asking you one more time. I'm not threatening, but asking, pleading, to take seriously the interpretation of the political will of the Serbian people which is represented here by the Serbian Democratic Party and the Serbian Movement of Renewal and several Serbs from other parties. Please take it seriously, it is not good what you are doing. This is the road that you want Bosnia and Herzegovina to take, the same highway of hell and suffering that Slovenia and Croatia went through. Don't think you won't take Bosnia and Herzegovina to hell and Muslim people into possible extinction because Muslim people will not be able to defend itself if it comes to war here!

Please, I know these are serious words. Serious situations call for serious words. How will you prevent that everybody start killing everybody in Bosnia and Herzegovina? Can war in Croatia be prevented? Especially in the border areas where Serbs and Croats are in contact, whose two political wills are in conflict, and weren't realised in a legal manner so there's only one way left to realise them.

From now on gentlemen, I will ask for the floor on a regular basis until you take the matter of independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina off the agenda. That is my right. I want to send a message to Muslim, Serb, and Croatian people that you want to achieve something in Europe what you have no right to. Thank you."

Radovan Karadžić speech 1991.

The serbian flag without the crest is mostly used for republika srpska

Извукала си циглууууууу из темеља љубави наша

Context: This poll

So I know that's a quote from a song but I'm not sure enough of pop culture to be sure what it's meant to mean here orz

Also, to explain to people who are unfamiliar with Balkan politics:

Republika Srbija = Republic of Serbia = the country that is Serbia Republika Srpska = Serb Republic = a region in Bosnia&Herzegovina that has a higher concentration of ethnic Serbs than the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The country Bosnia and Herzegovina is comprised of two entities: Republika Srpska (Serb Republic) and Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina). I'm not going to get into why these things are the way they are, it's complicated and messy and controversial and ultimately irrelevant beyond 'I need to explain why the names are so similar.

And in response to Anon, not quite! It's about the aspect ratio! I had to do some digging, but yeah, they are almost identical. Almost.

To start, I was under the impression that the no-crest version had multiple uses, partly due to how it's presented on Wikipedia:

So when you sent this message, I went digging, and I was right! And so are you, sort of:

But also I didn't think to double-check because I thought I remembered a different flag when I was in Banja Luka... which is apparently because BL has its own flag, which is not that of Republika Srpska:

Can you give us some mother Herzegovina headcanons?

tbh it probably won't be a lot, but sure thing

TW: short mention of potential miscarriage

doesn't seem like it, but she is super protective

teaches Ilija how to safely use a gun ( does that mean he now knows how to cause another massacre? well, yes but at least he knows how to do it and not hurt himself)

she absolutely will go soft if she sees a baby, literally just melts.

On that note, gets super shocked when asked if she wants to hold one. And when she does it’s like a trance, she loses perception of the outside world

"I'm not mad, just dissapointed"

both her and Enis discipline Ilija, the only difference is Bos does it physically with a slipper, and she does verbally (either yells at him, or actually sits him down and says something like "your dad and I are very dissapointed in you")

This is gonna sound weird but whenever srpska does something dangerous she’s obv mad but also… weirdly proud. She’s like ugh what Did he do this time and then upon learning he set government buildings on fire she tears up a little and goes „my boy…”

This makes Enis explode btw. He hates it when she does that

Actually always calls srpska her son. Enis calls him names or just says „serbia’s son” but herze? Never

Also possibly calls him „my little terrorist”

I don’t think Ilija was ever a baby, maybe a toddler a long time ago but more or less stayed the same age all his life, which is a Real shame because Idri would totally have an album filled with stuff like pics of him as a toddler holding an ar15

Im not sure wether i should add this because it’s sort of like an au? But some time ago I was thinking about a possibility of herze having a miscarriage (maybe more than one) and then her relationship with srpska being stranded because of that, because of the fact she wanted biological children and instead got a mean little serbian tot.

I wrote some very short fic about it but i font think I’ll ever publish it or even talk about this au more because really it’s too heavy and serious of a topic for my silly tumblr acc

This is more about me because im constantly on the fence about this: is where ilija actually came from, but for now my headcanon is he just… appeared from the ground. Idk maybe it was a blood moon and a storm was raging and a thunder struck the ground and he jumped out of there. Idfk but the important part is what it was like for herze: Bos one day came home with a kid. Thats it.

Last point doesn’t apply if you’re a true vukist - then you know the story in the bible

Puts notes in his lunchbox. Some of them are like „i love you, have a great day” and others are „don’t blow up the school today (optional)”

Ok i think thats it byeeee

Republika Srpska, ancora troppo razzismo verso gli omosessuali

La polemica è scoppiata di recente in seguito all'annuncio di Dodik che nei prossimi mesi sarà approvata una legge che vieterà ai membri della comunità gay LGBTQIA+ di entrare nelle scuole
