Three Diplomatic Corps in "Unified Bosnia"
Have you noticed that the ministers of foreign affairs of BiH have been exclusively Bosniaks with Muslim names for decades – Haris, Muhamed, Irfan, Elmedin? Nowhere, for example, is there a Miloš, Dušan, Aleksandar, nor an Ante or Mate, or only for a cure. Strange, but even stranger is that they don't complain about it from Banja Luka, although they react vigorously and promptly even to minor injustices.
TL;DR
- The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of BiH has been led by Bosniaks for decades, with only a few Serbs and one Croat holding the position since 1990.
- This Bosniak dominance has led to a de facto "Bosniak foreign policy" that often contradicts the views of the Serb and Croat members of the presidency.
- Despite agreements for rotation, the ministry has consistently been staffed by Bosniaks, with exceptions like Sven Alkalaj, who is Jewish.
- Serbs and Croats have established parallel diplomatic lines and paradiplomatic representations to pursue their own foreign policy interests.
- The article suggests that Bosnia's foreign policy mirrors its internal political divisions, creating a fragmented and complex international representation for the country.
