it's near the city in northwestern bosnia. that city itself is quite close to the border with croatia, so it's a magnet for thousands of people coming up those balkan trails who want to get into the european union, over the borderfrom bosnia into croatia. the problem is at anyone time bosnia has something between seven and 10,000 people who are staying in the country prior to moving on. it doesn't have the means to accommodate them. what's more is you've got places where organisations like the international organisation for migration have set up emergency centers for these people. but the local authorities, local residents don't want that to happen. they don't like having thousands of outsiders in their town. and what we've seen today is a result of that. the iom was going to close libre the national authorities the iom was going to close lipa and the national authorities were meant to renovate it. but the local authorities were blocking people from moving elsewhere. and this fire appears to have been a protest at all those sh

simply bosnia cannot afford and nobody can afford at this point. without that, what i fear is that at some point the nationalists are basically waiting for the moment that this is no longer viable and they don't break away from bosnia and become an independent state and russia will back them. which puts serbia in a difficult position. we need to avoid that skennaro because that will be bloody. this time we need to prevent a war by acting early rather than coming in after the war already egins. mr. serwer: if i may follow up. i agree entirely. we have to be aware that the europeans have some very important cards to play in bosnia and herzegovina. one is a lot of money. they can use that money to influence things there. the second is troops. we don't have significant -- we may have a few soldiers, but we don't have a significant troop presence, even the european troop presence is very small. the problem is it's spread out all over the country. it needs to be where the war might occur, where secession can be prevented. that happens to be this northeas

but incredibly, this currently seems to be the best that bosnia can do for these men who travelled up the so—called balkan route in the hope of reaching the european union. some of the camp survived the fire and hundreds of people had been staying here, but aid agencies say it's not safe, and they've been urging bosnia to work with the international community to find a proper solution. translation: i think the whole chain of international players has failed. i think it is the defeat of europe and our european society and spirit. the red cross is still serving food at the burnt out camp, and the bosnian national government has ordered the reopening of a facility in the nearby city of bihac. but aid agencies fear the local authorities will block any move, so these people could be out in the cold well into the new year. guy de launey, bbc news, ljubljana. let's look ahead to 2021 now — with the latest part of our series from our expert correspondents. today, it's science — with major events planned both on and off our planet. here with her preview is our global science corresponden

there's only so much you might say a host country like bosnia can do it's not a rich country. and they have a lot of migrants to deal with how do you assess bosnia's capability at this moment in time. well a person took a picture and we have a 1000 migrants in the country it's going to come to your 3500000 people so it's not it's not such it's not like jordan or 'd elin and see for example when it comes to policy 'd or to go and he's not doing it on its own i really you know the situation is very sufficient international family if they're off to how the house treat and take care of the a person for whom there but what is lacking simply easy decision as to where the 2nd. monster is incisions i think in if we can actually see this which is not so easy as we have seen yesterday the european union order dollars and your own when units your partners are ready to start for me at least once really not an issue of resources it's an issue of. the cultural political consensus at state level but also to call it on between the state and local authorities and that is the challenge that we'

vietnam, bosnia, afghanistan. once the cold war ended, i think holbrooke saul the opportunity -- saw the opportunity for democrats to reenter the foreign policy arena. he had been scared by vietnam as was eave democrat of his generation, both by having been involved in the war and by being targeted as doves for thinking we needed to get out which was the position he ended up in. so he was always looking over his right shoulder, worried about an attack from the hawks. once the colder war end in a sense that pressure was off, and i think he had an outsized idea of what america could do as the sole super power. he wanted to be involve not just in bosnia but kosovo, cyprus, in congo, as a kind of all-purpose negotiator, the horn of africa, always these small wars going on in the '90s as countries were disintegrating and holbrooke found them irresistible so in a way baker is more i think of kissinger figure who had a sort of a large view of what was possible, what was not, and of foreign policy as geopolitics, whereas
