“The Embodiment of Evil”—Bosnian Serb Politician Calls UN High Representative an “Occupier”
21st November 2025
Tensions between Bosnia’s Serb authorities and international envoy Christian Schmidt deepened after a Serb minister sent a Nazi-era SS helmet along with an incendiary letter to the German administrator.
The Bosnian Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations sparked controversy on Thursday, November 20th, with the stunt, which he shared on Instagram. Staša Košarac disputes Schmidt’s mandate in Bosnia and Herzegovina—which his party claims is not approved by the United Nations Security Council, meaning Schmidt is operating in the country illegally.
