Are they linked? Will the possible independence of Kosovo cause conflict situations in Bosnia?
In this region everything is linked with everything. It is clear that at the political and psychological level Kosovo will have an impact on the atmosphere in the region. We cannot persuade ourselves that thats not the case. On the other hand, there is not a single issue related to its future where Bosnia and Herzegovina depends on Kosovo. There is nothing that would have to influence its progress. BiH is not a hostage of Kosovo. In that sense it is necessary to reject any artificial attempts to link Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. BiH has its own challenges and problems but it has all the solutions in its own hands.
