Vučić: Unify school programs in Serbia and Republika Srpska

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, stated today in Belgrade after a meeting of the highest representatives of Serbia and the BiH entity Republika Srpska that a team has been formed to work on drafting the Declaration on the Protection and Preservation of the Serbian People.

The Declaration, he said, will emphasize the right to use the Serbian language and the Cyrillic script, the right to study national culture, history, geography, preserve national cultural and historical heritage, and education in the Serbian language.

“A budget fund will be established to realize these rights, and the current grant-based financing for the diaspora will be redefined,” said Vučić. He added that Serbia and RS will work on unifying the school program for the Serbian language and literature in Serbia and RS, as well as on organizing student excursions, youth camps, and summer and winter schools in Serbia and RS.

President Vučić and Prime Minister Ana Brnabić met in Belgrade with the President of the BiH entity Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, and the Prime Minister of RS, Željka Cvijanović. Economic cooperation between Serbia and the BiH entity was also discussed at the meeting.
