SDS: Pressures on the judiciary and institutions of BiH coming from Croatia are unacceptable

The Serb Democratic Party believes that "Croatia is exerting pressure on the judiciary of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the institutions of BiH", all due to the arrest of ten HVO members, whom the BiH Prosecutor's Office accuses of war crimes committed against the Serb population in the area of Orašje. The SDS condemns such pressures.

- If Croatia truly desires good neighborly relations with Bosnia and Herzegovina, then it should respect all victims in Bosnia and Herzegovina and find the strength to condemn all crimes that have been committed, including the one committed in Orašje. Any other behavior by the state leadership of the Republic of Croatia, unfortunately, can only be interpreted as support for the killing of non-Croat population and glorification of crimes – state the SDS.

The party states that they call on the leadership of Croatia to "instead of pressuring the BiH judiciary and inappropriately conditioning BiH's support for its European path, find the strength and condemn all crimes, and thus help build trust in BiH and reconciliation in the region", reports NAP.
