It is very well known that the United States, together with the European Economic Community, have played a key role in the process of recognition of political subjectivity and the preservation of the territorial integrity of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At that time, the USA was one of the first countries to recognize independence and territorial integrity of B&H.
In his book “Victory in war” author William C. Martel writes about politics implemented by the United States in the Balkans, as well as their relation to the war in B&H.
He cites Clinton who, in August 1992, stated: “We cannot ignore the thing that looks like an intentional and systematic extermination of people because of their ethnicity.”
Furthermore, Martel highlights that Americans were significantly involved during the entire war, especially by sending humanitarian aid.
After the war, Clinton wrote a series of articles about the war in Bosnia, and one of them says:
He pointed out that the United Nations continued arms embargo for the Bosnian government, which was a measure imposed for the whole of Yugoslavia in 1991.
“The problem with this measure was that the Serbs had enough weapons and ammunition to fight for years, and for the Bosnians, it was almost impossible to defend themselves. Somehow they managed to find their way in 1992, taking away the weapon from the Serbian forces, or with the help of small packages coming from the Croatia despite NATO blockade of the coast, “said Clinton.
