"There is no way for Bosnia and Herzegovina to break up, and those who think they can divide it are wrong, because Bosniaks will resolutely oppose that," head of the Islamic community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Husein Kavazovic, said on Wednesday, Croatia's state agency Hina reported.

“Bosnia’s future as an independent and sovereign country is unquestionable and the only question is how much time will be lost before everyone realises that the best path for all is to work in the general interest, in line with the values of living together and mutual respect,” Kavazovic told Sarajevo daily Dnevni Avaz, in a statement cited by Hina.

Kavazovic was asked to comment “on various non-papers which bring into question the current borders in the region and Bosnia’s survival,” Hina explained. He replied by saying that he “did not know the real backdrop of such phantom documents” but he “assumed that someone was ‘feeling the pulse,’ cautiously alluding to the possible involvement of Serbia,” Hina said.

Kavazovic said that “the lack of a response, including sanctions against those advocating the allegedly peaceful accomplishment of war goals, the splitting of ethnically cleansed areas and changing borders, could send the message to their voters that those goals were attainable, Kavazovic said, according to Hina.

“Such things very much recall all that was happening in the early 1990s and led to the war in Bosnia,” he added.

“The break-up of Bosnia, the advocating the ‘unification of all Serbs,’ the claim that Bosniaks can’t defend themselves – those are dangerous ideas. In the 1990s too they said ‘the Muslim people can’t defend itself.’ One of the goals is to discourage Bosniaks, to make them ignore the hundreds of thousands of those killed, raped, maimed, and driven out, to make them nauseated by their country and give up on Bosnia,” Kavazovic said, according to Hina.
