Ian Bancroft's articles on the Balkans are always interesting and perceptive, not that I always agree with them.

See eg this one about Bosnia, as previously linked.

Yet something has been gnawing away in my mind about the picture of Ian which the Guardian uses.

Yes. Got it!

Are he and Kraftwerk by some chance related?

If only Bosnian political parties would behave in a sensible orderly way.

Just like the Robots:

We are programmed just to do
anything you want us to -
we are the robots
