56. Who controls Bosnia? - GUEST: Prof. Damir Kapidžić

In the 56th episode of This Time Tomorrow, Omri and Daniela sit down with Professor Damir Kapidžić to pick his brain on what is currently happening with the Office of the High Representative (OHR) in Bosnia. First of all, what does Bosnia’s intricate political landscape look like? Clue: it’s complicated. Secondly, what’s the Trump administration’s interest in the OHR, and why may it threaten multilateralism and stability in the region? The Office of the High Representative was created by the Dayton Peace Agreement in 1995, so why is it now at the center of a geopolitical tug-of-war, with the U.S. backing an Italian diplomat linked to its business interests?Meanwhile, Bosnia’s complex governance, ethnic tensions, and a looming gas pipeline suggest there may be more to this than meets the eye.And what’s the role of Europe in all of this? Just polite resistance?Listen to learn more about a really important issue (that is also sort of riveting in an almost blockbuster kind of way?) that may just have flown under your radar.
