SARAJEVO, December 15 (FENA) - Members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Željko Komšić and Šefik Džaferović did not attend the meeting that was scheduled this morning with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who was hosted only by Chairman Milorad Dodik.

At the press conference in the building of the Presidency of BiH, Komšić pointed out two reasons for such a decision: the lack of the flag of BiH at last night's meeting between Dodik and Lavrov, and the statement by Lavrov welcoming the resolution on military neutrality of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska.

“Lavrov knows that such decisions can be made only at the state level, but only representatives of RS, as well as Mr. Dodik, participated in the making of such a decision. By his actions, he showed disrespect for the constitutional system and the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Komšić said.

Presidency member Džaferović said that BiH has its pride and wants to send a strong message and that everyone must respect the decisions made by all peoples in BiH.

“We want to preserve the dignity and pride of the homeland of BiH in this way. The Russian Federation is a great power, a world power. BiH is not a world power, but it is a very important and significant country in the world. We have our pride and we want to say what we think at a given moment,” said Džaferović.

He stated that the Russian Federation claims that it respects the Dayton Peace Agreement, respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of BiH.

However, he added, yesterday's statements by Lavrov, which are repeated through the behavior of the Russian ambassador to BiH, say something different.

“Respecting the Dayton Peace Agreement means respecting all its annexes. The first thing that is mentioned in the Agreement is the state of BiH, its continuity, institutions, and the flag and coat of arms. These are the symbols of BiH and its institutions. That must be respected, and that was not respected yesterday,” he said.
