British Embassy sought a warning for Dodik, opposed by the French, Russians and the EU Delegation

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - The British Embassy in BiH, at the last session of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC), requested that the International Community send a clear message to Milorad Dodik, that the destruction of BiH institutions – 'will not be forgiven'.

Citing the minutes from the last PIC session, Žurnal published an article stating that Dodik's announcements that he would, after September 5, review the functioning of state institutions were discussed, after which representatives of Great Britain requested that Dodik be warned - both publicly and privately that 'his moves will not be forgiven', and that the focus of the messages should be on protecting BiH institutions.

However, Žurnal further writes, contrary to the positions of Great Britain, the representative of the French Embassy was lenient towards Dodik.

'The French Embassy in BiH advocates for a more moderate stance towards Milorad Dodik', it was stated in the minutes of the PIC session.

Besides France, a lenient policy towards Milorad Dodik and his announcements was advocated by representatives of the Italian Embassy and the Delegation of the European Union in BiH, whose policy was also agreed with by the Embassy of the Russian Federation. On the other hand, the embassies of the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Japan and Turkey are aligned when it comes to BiH's NATO path and the protection of state institutions, reports the Patria News Agency.
