SARAJEVO, January 16 (FENA) - Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina Mirko Šarović, asked by reporters about the postponing of the adoption of the Annual National Program (ANP) with NATO, replied that “the topic has received much more attention and has gotten a wider dimension than needed, primarily a political one, given the very essence of the document.”
“The procedure and attitudes that have been taken by the key political factors in BiH mean that it is necessary that this issue should not be decided exclusively by the Council of Ministers which is in technical mandate. The ladder has been raised too high. We have, as I would put it, been receiving the maximum requests that have been coming from different sides.”
The entity of Republika Srpska has even announced sanctions against all those representatives from RS in the state institutions who do not comply with the decisions and attitudes of the RS authorities.
“This narrows the space for any individual, personal interpretation, and I would say that this underestimating the character, and significance of this document,” said Šarović.
“In that sense, my proposal was, given the character of the action plan that contains obligations in the process of approaching the NATO, both for state level and for the entities, that all levels of government unequivocally declare themselves with regards to this document,” said Šarović.
