Konaković to Vučić: There are no "RS state bodies", this way you are taking us backwards

(Patria) - BiH Minister of Foreign Affairs Elmedin Konaković publicly addressed Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, reminding him that there are no "state bodies of Republika Srpska."

"RS is an entity within the sovereign state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Every visit of yours to that part of our homeland is a visit to the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You, as the President of Serbia, who has repeatedly stated that you respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of BiH in public addresses, should call things by their proper name.

After your associates are calling for scholarships for female students who glorify war criminals and committed crimes, after your associates announce the construction of a monument to Draža Mihailović, messages like these, intentional or unintentional, take us backwards. We are not moving towards regional stability and mutual respect.

Our outstretched hand is a sign of our strength and our desire for things to move towards stabilizing relations, it is by no means a sign of our weakness," said Konaković.
