Željka Cvijanović, the Serb member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, concluded a week-long visit to Israel where she met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar. Middle East Eye reports the visit signals Israel's pursuit of ties with breakaway regions, aiming to 'dilute European unity on the Palestinian issue.'
The visit by Željka Cvijanović, the Serb member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, was reported by Middle East Eye as a week-long trip that included meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar in Jerusalem. The report frames the diplomatic engagement as part of Israel's broader strategy to build ties with breakaway and autonomous regions, citing analysts who say Israel hopes to weaken European consensus on Palestinian statehood. The visit comes amid a shifting European landscape: as previously reported by The Zioneer, Slovenia's new right-wing government has rescinded recognition of a Palestinian state and plans to move its embassy to Jerusalem, while its president has accused Israel of genocide. The Cvijanović meeting is the latest in a series of Israeli diplomatic overtures toward regions with limited international recognition, though details of any agreements or joint statements from the meetings have not been released. The report is based on a single source, Middle East Eye, and has not been independently corroborated.
