ongoing crisis in the Federation, the Republika Srpska has

The situation is dangerously close to a breaking point, as local political actors increasingly doubt that the Peace Implementation Council (PIC) will uphold its responsibility to prevent state
lations that could generate such events.
While the spotlight is currently on turmoil in the Federa-
de facto and independence. In this

disassemble state institutions, particularly in the justice and economic sectors. His government is threatening to cease paying VAT receipts into the Single Account and is

velop its own intelligence service.3
