Why would you like it to be "European protectorate" any longer? Why WOULDN'T YOU TRY TO COME WITH SOLUTION?
Do you really believe that there is possibility of Bosnia where Muslims will rule and Serbs and Croats would agree with it?Don't you understand that there is no money or political promise to make it work?
Do you understand that what happened on Kosovo was only possible because there is no enough Serbs there.And after bombardment of Serbia by nothing less then NATO even that story hasn't finished yet.
You can occupy country ( Serbia was occupied for 500 years by Ottomans and it didn't make Serbian orthodoxs change in to the Islam in significant numbers to make it Turkish state) you can do what ever you want but you can hardly make LASTING state if citizens are not willing to live together.And in Bosnia they are NOT.The fact that (rotten) politicians use this fact for their own purpose will not change anything.No one except Muslims want unifying Bosnia.There would be no war if this was not a case.

It seems quite clear that there are very few people in that area who have any interest in a solution. Your comments make that clearer and clearer ...

You know, if an EU protectorate will prevent or delay another round of mass murder, I'm all for it.

What I am no so sure of is that the EU diplomats actually understand Bosnia. EU15 diplomats seem to have precious little clue about the rest of the EU, let alone the bits outside it, even 5 years after the expansion to 25.

Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

Not really...and they are also not interested to...
And even those of you much better informed and willing to understand are not really able to understand that mentality and history that lay behind events of today...
