I find myself asking (and it's an honest question): If the multiethnic Yugoslavian federation proved unworkable in the long run, why should the multiethnic Bosnian federation prove any more workable in the long run?
Are the Bosniaks the reason the state is needed? Meaning otherwise, if we accept that ethnicity = nation, the Serb and Croat inhabited portions could join Serbia and Croatia without too much of an issue if that’s what they wanted but there’s nowhere for the Bosniaks to safely join.
On the subject of Belarus and sanctions some of the problem is everyone wants there own sanctions cutouts even Poland and Lithuania. For example there are two major producers of a key ingredient of fertilizer in the world called Potash, Canada and Belarus. Even though the "other" producer of Potash is a democratic NATO ally multiple EU member states including both Lithuania and Poland have made clear they don't want to be dependent on a single supplier and thus refuse to block imports of Belarussian potash.
