SARAJEVO, July 23 (FENA) - Today's visit of the President of Serbia to Banja Luka was used again to send messages of pretensions towards a part of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said in a statement for FENA the Chairman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Šefik Džaferović reacting to the statements heard in Banja Luka today by the President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić and a member of the Presidency of BiH from the RS Milorad Dodik.
“Such messages bring unrest and unnecessarily raise tensions. Although Vučić formally repeats every time he visits that Serbia respects the territorial integrity of BiH, Serbian President Vučić usually supplements his statement with an attitude that denies the obligation that his country certainly carries. He did it this time as well by calling Trebinje "the most beautiful Serb city".
Trebinje is a beautiful city, but it belongs equally to every person in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as every other inch of this country. Nothing in this country belongs to only one nation and Vučić should finally learn that,” stressed Džaferović.
Chairman Džaferović also reacted to an attempt of Milorad Dodik and Aleksandar Vučić to link Bosnia and Herzegovina and its entity to the negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo.
“There will be no talks on the status of the BiH entity of RS. The RS has never been a state and never will be. The RS entity is an administrative unit in Bosnia and Herzegovina and may exist only as such, or not exist at all.
The status of the RS entity, which has no international subjectivity, neither depends nor could depend on the negotiations between Serbia and Kosovo,” concluded Džaferović.
