The European Union is debating whether it should impose sanctions on the Serb regime in Bosnia-Herzegovina if its leaders follow through on threats to secede from the rest of the Balkan country.
The EU’s foreign affairs service has set out a series of options, including restrictive measures, for the bloc’s foreign ministers to discuss at a meeting in Brussels later this month, according to people familiar with the matter and documents seen by Bloomberg.
The discussion comes as the Bosnian Serb regime has taken incremental steps toward seceding from the rest of the ethnically fragmented country, ignoring the U.S. decision last month to impose sanctions against its longtime leader Milorad Dodik.
