“Bosnja and Herzegovina is not considering countermass. We do not feel that we should follow this example. We will give a chance to solve this problem in another way, “said Sarovic after a session of the Bosnia Council of Ministers.

The Council of Ministers also said that for the time being it will not consider countermatures against Kosovo.

Foreign Affairs Minister Igor Crnadak praised the decision as political,

Also reacted to Bosnia and Herzegovina Foreign Trade Chamber head Vjekoslav Vukovic, who said Bosnia has exports to Kosovo 10 times higher than import, who would have no effect on acting with a counter-size. /IndesksOnline/
