a bit later tonight. as the credits roll and sold sniggers moscow visit we bring you the best scenes from the government as russian capital advantage. all sides an ethnically diverse bosnia was work together and embrace political reform if they want nato would do you membership that's the warning from u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton during her visit to the balkans many bosnian muslims want a strong central government but serbs living in the country fear this will rob them of their autonomy so they also believe the u.s. keeps putting pressure on them and resentment lingers over the nato forces during the ninety's ethnic conflict on the side of the muslim population and bombing the capital so he wasn't in the story and no bullshit mileage thinks that the us has been stirring things up since clinton's first visit to bosnia in one thousand nine hundred six which she later described as quote being under sniper fire. by the time she landed in one thousand nine hundred six there were no had been no hostilities

for months so everybody is well aware that her story was just entirely fake in the united states government has been keeping the tension simmering because of this constant repetitive insistence on creating a strong central government back in one thousand nine hundred two it was the attempt by the muslim leadership to create a strong central government it was the muslims who are not out an outright majority in the country would be dominant and this is the issue that the war was fought over the inability of the three communities to actually have some sort of power sharing arrangement that they could trust each other and the muslims had pushed through the independence proposal unilaterally and had basically neglected the surf. shove them off that aside and said this is this is our country now and the serbs and croats would have none of it and you had three and a half years of open warfare with a hundred thousand people dead and this is a very very significant issue in bosnia and it is not just going to go away because
