"Peaceful dissolution" of the country, saying it has no future, called for Milorad Dodik, a member of the tripartite Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina representing the Republic of Serbia.
Dodik, who has repeatedly expressed secessionist threats over the past decade, spoke to reporters in Banja Luka, the capital of the Serb Republic, one of Bosnia's two autonomous entities along with the Federation of Bosniaks and Croats.
Dodik complained about efforts by Bosnians, most of whom are Slavic Muslims, to dominate Serbs and Croats, which he described as "Muslim nationalism".
"It is time to try once again to activate the mechanism of peaceful dissolution in Bosnia and Herzegovina," he said, adding that once this process was completed, everyone could "live in peace."
According to euroactiv, Bosnia's 1992-95 war began when the Serbs refused to recognise the country's independence from Yugoslavia and created their own "ethnically cleansed territory."
The 1995 peace agreement created Bosnia and Herzegovina as a loose union of the two entities, with a weak central government and unwieldy structures at all levels.
Dodik, whom the US administration has repeatedly sanctioned for undermining peace efforts and the rule of law, is a staunch supporter of Moscow and has refused to endorse the inclusion of Bosnia and Herzegovina in international sanctions.
The country is due to hold general elections on 2 October, despite protests from Croats, who say the current electoral law is biased against them as the smallest of three ethnic groups.
