RE:Focus 2.0Nikola Mikovic, a Belgrade-based political analyst, said Vui has previously talked about "difficult decisions" that Serbia has to make and alleged Western pressure on the Serbian leadership. "But generally, 'difficult days for Serbia' is his well-known rhetoric," Mikovic told Newsweek. "He used it so many times in the past that very few people still pay attention to such a narrative." "Since he mentioned Republika Srpska, it is entirely possible that he indirectly referred to the fact that High Representative Christian Schmidt used his powers to impose legislation on Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is something that Republika Srpska firmly opposes," he said.
Shmidt, the international official who oversees Bosnia and Herzegovina's ongoing peace deal, this week imposed changes to the country's election law, including ensuring electoral fairness. Republika Srpska president, Milorad Dodik, rejected Schmidt's move and has often made threats to secede from Bosnia Hercegovina.
Mikovic said: "There is no military threat. Nobody will invade Serbia, and I don't expect Serbia to launch a war against the U.S.-backed Kosovo, as that would be a suicide mission. Also, at this point, I don't see a potential for a large-scale destabilization of the region that is deeply in the Western geopolitical orbit."
