"Joe Biden is no stranger to the Balkans. The president-elect began the first of his regular visits to the region back in the early 1990s, to Bosnia and Herzegovina initially, and later to Kosovo. He met political, religious, and community leaders and developed long-standing personal relations with many of them. In confidential letters to these leaders over the years he pleaded for inter-ethnic social cohesion and religious tolerance. Biden spoke passionately in the US senate about the need to arm Bosnians to protect themselves in their fight against Serbs and about the need to remove Slobodan Milosevic and Serbian forces from Kosovo. Biden is also the first high-ranking US official to have expressed condolences to Serbs for the NATO air strikes that took place in March-June 1999.„ from:
Joe Biden has a longstanding relationship with the Western Balkans. A re-energised US policy on the region could be transformative, especially when working in tandem with the EU…

Pray for us Serbs when Biden comes to power. Looks like we're going to get in trouble again (Not to use obscene words) We Serbs from Bosnia, who do not want Bosnia and Herzegovina to join NATO, are particularly bothered. In addition, we have close and good relations with Russia. We ordered Russian vaccines and use their energy sources. We do not accept Europe's migrant policy and setting up camps on our territory. We are rare in Europe who refuse to organize Gay Pride. We cooperate with the Chinese, they are allowed to build and invest in our part of the country. For many years we have been pressured to recognize the "genocide" in Srebrenica and that we are all genocidal as a people, worse than Hitler's Germany. When Biden brings back famous bloodsuckers and witches, like Madeleine Albright, the pressure will be as if an elephant has stepped on our chest. Fortunately, today Russia is not that drunken Yecin's Russia from the 90s. Not to mention the problem of Kosovo. It will be cheerful, sarcastically speaking.
That is why many Bosnian people like Biden. He was talking in support of the Bosnian Muslims. And that may be the one of the rare positive things when it comes to him, or no, depending how you look at that. However, he is not main problem of the Serbs in Bosnia, Serbs in Bosnia are problem to themselves so to say. They have leader like Milorad Dodik who is probably very corrupt and probably many others, also low fertility. Population of the Serbs in 2013 was 1 086 733 while in 1991 it was 1 366 104. And today in 2020 it is probably even lower. Bosnia and Herzegovina probably can not enter the NATO if Serbs put VETO. So, there is probably no need to worry too much. Bigger problem for Serbs is probably economy, fertility and corruption. Serbs in Bosnia had their own army but they agreed to form army of Bosnia and Herzegovina, they probably also agreed for SIPA- police which have jurisdiction in RS as well, and probably many other things.
You think that cooperation with China is a good thing ? Russian vaccines as well ?
Did you ask Bosnian people do they want migrant camps on their territories in Bosnia ? You say that Serbs do not want camps, but migrants are coming over the border from Serbia through Republic of Srpska into Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Why do authorities in Republic of Srpska entity allow them to cross the border if you do not want them, while in the same time they allow them to go to Federation. Why Serbia allows migrants to come to Serbia in the first place and then to Bosnia ? If you are from Bosnia you may know about the problems with migrants in and around Bihać.
Many, many problems which Serbs have are caused by the Serbian politicians, they lost Yugoslavia which was big Serbia in a way. Even if Russia was led by the Yeltsin in 1990 it is certainly not the main reason for the things that happened. Serbs are the reason or their leaders for many things that happened in Yugoslavia. Putin was in power in 2006 for example but Montenegro still managed to get independence. You see it is about peoples will or their corruption in this case. Even if Putin was president in 1990, do you think that he could prevent Slovenia and Croatia from getting independent ? Even Bosnia and Macedonia ?
Before "Biden does anything", Serbs should fix their own territories in Bosnia than blame him if he or his administration, or anyone who maybe controls him does anything.
Also, when it comes to the genocide, please can you find me 1 mosque on 49% of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Republic of Srpska) which is not destroyed or demolished, maybe you can find one. I think it was 16 mosques in Banja Luka which were all destroyed in the war. 16 mosques in the city which was not involved in the fighting because it was majority Serb area. That is only one example. Did mosques attack Serbs somehow ? Every action has it's consequences or if I may say reactions. You may see that if you look from 1990 up to 2020. At least 8 municipalities which had Bosnian Muslim majority in 1991 census, in 2013 had Serb majority.
Map is not totally accurate in 2020 and also according to the census in 2013, because some municipalities in blue on the left side which are supposed to be Croat in 1998 after the war, in 3 of them Serbs came back and they are majority according to the census in 2013. And in one green which is supposed to be Bosniak majority, Serbs came back. In Republic of Srpska Bosniaks came back to Srebrenica and are slight majority and in small municipality of Vukosavlje. But from 27 000 Bosniaks in 1991 there are now around 7000 of them in Srebrenica.
I went a lot off-topic, but I think it is good to know the situation about Bosnia in case of some future happenings and it is also in Europe and it may be interesting for someone to know situation in this part of Balkans. When it comes to the civilian casualties, Bosniaks had the biggest according to the source. And many people who are from Bosnia may know that.
It has been two decades since Yugoslavia fell apart. The brutal conflicts that followed its dissolution are over, but the legacy of the tragedy continues to unsettle the region. Reconciliation is a long and difficult process that necessitates a willingness to work together openly and objectively...

Civilians : Bosniaks - 31 107, Serbs - 4178 - Croats - 2484, however when it comes to the numbers certain number of Serbs are probably killed by Serbs themselves especially during the so called siege of Sarajevo and in other situations, and probably by Croats as well. This may apply to all sides, in bigger or smaller numbers (that members of certain ethnicity are killed by that same ethnicity or other two). For example certain number of Bosniaks are killed by Croats but also maybe by Bosniaks as well.
Sarajevo had big number of Serbs before the war, many of them probably left the city during the early stage of war or little bit before the war. However certain number of them probably remained in the town during the war.
The siege lasted three times longer than the
Battle of Stalingrad and more than a year longer than the
Siege of Leningrad.
