Bosnia Divided on Palestinian Request for Statehood Support
(Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty) Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was told in Bosnia-Herzegovina that Bosnia's three ethnic groups have not reached agreement on whether to recognize Palestinian statehood. Bosnia is on the UN Security Council as a nonpermanent member. Local media reported that the three-member, interethnic presidency's Bosnian Muslim member, Bakir Izetbegovic, and Croat member Zeljko Komsic support the Palestinian drive for statehood while their Serbian colleague, Nebojsa Radmanovic, is opposed. Political analyst Milos Solaja said, "Bosnia could stay neutral in this affair and it probably will in the end."
