US backs NATO membership for Bosnia, dismisses Serb opposition 11 SHARES Share it! NATO bombed dominant separatist Serb forces in Bosnia in 1995 to help bring an end to the war there, and the United States brokered the Dayton peace deal that followed. This month NATO invited Bosnia to start working on a Membership Action Plan (MAP), which has been blocked for 10 years by the Serbs. Dodik said he told Sullivan there was no consensus in the presidency regarding NATO membership. “We in the United States take that decision … made by the government to pursue NATO membership very seriously,” Sullivan said when asked about Dodik’s reiterated objections.
