TL;DR

Two US fighter jets flew over Bosnia in a show of support on the eve of a military-style nationalist parade planned by Serb separatists in Republika Srpska, triggering tensions. The parade, marking the 32nd anniversary of Republika Srpska's proclamation as a breakaway state, has been banned by Bosnia's constitutional court. The US embassy stated that the flight was a demonstration of US commitment to Bosnia's territorial integrity, while warning of potential secessionist activity. The parade comes amid increasing attacks and threats against returned refugees, and the US embassy emphasized that it will act if anyone tries to secede from Bosnia in violation of the state constitution and the 1995 Dayton peace agreement.
