On the 30th anniversary of the Dayton Agreement, I write in @thehill about why the U.S. must reengage in Bosnia by backing allies, sanctioning those who undermine U.S. interests, boosting defense ties, and supporting key ECHR rulings.

From @TheAthleticFC: Bosnia and Herzegovina is almost certain to face the United States in the last 32 of the World Cup after beating Qatar 3-1 in Seattle on Wednesday. This is what you need to know about the USMNT’s likely next opponent. https://t.co/HrrJFBazq6

[Jasmin Mujanović @JasminMuj]

A young man born in America to a family of Bosniak refugees, who fled the Srebrenica Genocide, grows up to punch Bosnia and Herzegovina's ticket to the 2026 World Cup.

Horror, survival, renewal, triumph. This is the way.

@SkenderVakuf Mora da je jet lag, pa je čula ono što niko nije. Čak je i video o SVOM danu morala rezati osam puta u 73 sekunde da bi se mogao ikako pogledati :).

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

I counted eight cuts in a 1:13 video about her day. If someone needs that many edits to explain their own personal daily experiences, no one should be losing sleep over their supposedly “outsized influence.”

Danas sam u Pododboru za Europu Odbora za vanjske poslove Zastupničkog doma američkog Kongresa nazočila iznimno zanimljivom saslušanju na temu „A Path Toward Stability in the Western Balkans”. Na saslušanju su sudjelovali @MaxPrimorac , viši znanstveni suradnik, @Heritage ; Luke Coffey , viši suradnik, @HudsonInstitute ; te @edwardpjoseph , predavač i viši suradnik, @SAISHopkins .

Posebno je zanimljivo bilo izlaganje o naslijeđu i stanju implementacije Daytonskog mirovnog sporazuma 30 godina kasnije. Istaknuto je da se Hrvati u Bosni i Hercegovini suočavaju s teškim oblicima diskriminacije, dramatičnim padom populacije od 62% te kontinuiranim uskraćivanjem prava da biraju svoje legitimne političke predstavnike. Naglašeno je kako federalno uređenje s tri federalne jedinice predstavlja jedini održivi put prema stabilnosti i institucionalnoj jednakopravnosti.

Administracija predsjednika Trumpa nudi Zapadnom Balkanu povijesnu priliku za snažniju integraciju u zapadne strukture, kroz jasniji, odlučniji i učinkovitiji angažman u promicanju stabilnosti i funkcionalnosti regije.

Nakon saslušanja, susrela sam se predsjedateljom Pododbora @RepKeithSelf .

A timely, personal intervention by my friend @IsmailCidic for @thehill on the continued need for a values-based US policy towards BiH, the only approach that truly reflects both America’s strategic interests, and those of BiH’s citizens.

[Ismet Fatih Čančar @IFCBiH]

Amidst ongoing systemic campaign of meddling in BiH’s internal affairs, I'm bringing up our article in @ForeignPolicy written with @IsmailCidic on Croatia’s “continuation of the Tudjman-Milosevic wartime project” to partition BiH; only today by political rather than military means.

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

@HajdarpasaX Znači opet nema dokaza da sam za ikoga kazao da sam impresioniran, posebno u izbornoj kampanji kako si prvobitno naveo?

A za ovo drugo, činjenice su činjenice - nema potvrde da je Bakir Izetbegović u svoja dva mandata bio u Washingtonu. Volio bih da neko pokaže suprotno.

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

Croatia’s increasingly aggressive posture, couched as concern for Bosnian Croats, is in reality a strategic campaign that advances ethnic partition under the cover of legitimacy, @IFCBiH and @IsmailCidic argue. https://t.co/b2MmdPaXJ8

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

Our op-ed is currently the top trending article on @ForeignPolicy.

You can read it here: https://t.co/UOVuTsV2Cc

[Jasmin Mujanović @JasminMuj]

An excellent primer by @IsmailCidic & @IFCBiH on how Croatia’s systemic campaign of meddling in BiH’s internal affairs is a “continuation of the Tudjman-Milosevic wartime project” to partition the BiH; only today by political rather than military means.https://t.co/TDQP0WApnR

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

In our latest piece for @ForeignPolicy, @IFCBiH and I warn of Croatia's quiet war threatening Bosnia's democratic future and U.S. interests in the region.

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

We will never forget the victims of the genocide.

We will never forgive the Serb perpetrators.

And we will never get tired of keeping the truth alive.

[Bosnian Genocide Educational Trust @BGET_UK]

July is not an ordinary month. It is a wound in time, a scar that refuses to fade. For those who survived Srebrenica, for grieving mothers, for families still searching for their loved ones, each year brings the same unbearable weight, the same haunting question:

[USABiH @USA_BIH]

Thirty years after the Bosnian genocide, truth and justice still demand principled U.S. leadership. Our new report, “Preserving Truth, Guiding Policy,” calls for a return to clear policies that support Bosnia’s future and protect vital U.S. interests. https://t.co/b7PUuHcoXp

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

Over 500,000 Croatians (1 in 7) attended a concert by Thompson, a singer best known for glorifying Croatia’s WWII Nazi regime.

As if that’s not enough, he also praised a terrorist who killed an NYPD officer.

500,000! One in seven!

[Jasmin Mujanović @JasminMuj]

During tonight’s huge concert in Zagreb, fascist crooner Thompson wore a shirt honoring terrorist Zvonko Bušić, the chief architect of the hijacking of TWA 355 in 1976, which resulted in the death of NYPD officer Brian Murray. And this is who @AndrejPlenkovic pals around with.

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

No matter how many times you repeat it, this lie will never become the truth.

Croatia is not a "guarantor" of the Dayton Peace Agreement. It is a signatory as a warring party following the war of aggression against Bosnia and the numerous war crimes it supported.

[Andrej Plenković @AndrejPlenkovic]

I am participating in the spring session of the @NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Dayton - a city that became a symbol of peace.

As a signatory and guarantor of the Dayton Agreement, Croatia is making political, economic and diplomatic efforts to support the stability and progress of BiH, and in particular its European path.

The integrity of the Agreement is based on the full equality of the three constituent peoples - and not on majoritarian dominance and outvoting of the smaller people.

That is why we continue to advocate for political dialogue, electoral reform and institutional functionality that respects the constitutional rights of all three constituent peoples: Croats, Bosniaks, Serbs and others.

As we mark 30 years since Dayton, let us renew our commitment to the values ​​that are important for the preservation of international law, peace and democracy.

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

A clear, direct, and unequivocal condemnation not only of Milorad Dodik but also of Russia and Serbia.

[U.S. Helsinki Commission @HelsinkiComm]

Today, the bipartisan leadership of the US Helsinki Commission issued a statement responding to Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik's destabilizing and secessionist actions in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Read the full statement here: https://t.co/W9Tc7EqkEr

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

Germany and Austria have just imposed sanctions on Dodik, Stevandic, and Viskovic. Other countries should follow, and BiH institutions must finally act and arrest them. No excuses!

[Ismail Ćidić @IsmailCidic]

Every aspect of the contract between Republika Srpska (Dodik) and Blagojevich directly undermines both Bosnian and American interests. Good to see the U.S. media bringing attention to this concerning development.
