BANJA LUKA, August 22 (FENA) - Vice President of the RS entity Ramiz Salkić has asked the RS government again to solve the problem of studying the Bosnian language, as well as curriculum in that entity.
He demands that the RS government stop denying Bosnian language, spoken by 52.86 percent of the population in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which, according to the 2013 census, is the second language in terms of representation in this entity.
In a letter he sent to the RS Prime Minister Radovan Višković, Minister of Education and Culture Natalija Trivić, and to the Office of the High Representative, the OSCE Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Salkić notes that a new school year in the RS Entity begins in two weeks, and that Bosniak children are discriminated through denying one of their basic human rights.
“The right to study the Bosnian language is guaranteed by the constitutions of the entities and the state, but also by numerous international conventions, and I ask you, as a representative of the Government of the RS entity, to respect this right and to stop discrimination against Bosniak children,” said Salkić.
