Bosnia invited Kosovo to join SEECP Summit

That is how Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik's office has revealed to the Serbian media.

On the occasion of claims that Dodik had sent an official invitation to Kosovo President Hashim Thaci to come to the Southeast European Co-operation Process Summit, the cabinet said summit members invited the presidents of participating countries, not Milorad Dodik.

Kosovo's participation in the SEECP, as highlighted in the Dodik cabinet, was resolved in 2014 with the consent of all those participants who do not recognise Kosovo: Serbia, Greece, Romania, Moldova and BiH.

Dodik's cabinet has indicated that Bosnia and Herzegovina's presidency has not invited the Republic of Kosovo, but that it has been defined by banners.

Earlier Bosnian portal Klx reported that Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik has sent an official invitation to Kosovo President Hashim Thaci to participate in the Southeast Europe Co-operation Process summit.

According to Klx, President Thaci will make the decision next week whether to respond to the invitation.

Bosnian media commemorate that last month Kosovo's president has refused to participate in the annual EURZH conference in Sarajevo because Bosnia has rejected Kosovo.

The summit will begin on July 1st 2019, while meetings of ministers and presidents of southern European countries are scheduled in Jahorina and the BiH Presidency office.

According to Klx, the presidents of the countries of the region will be expected on the red carpet in front of the BiH Presidency building, where members of the BiH Armed Forces will be deployed.

The invitation with Dodik's signature has already been sent to the presidents of the region, as has President Thaci, through the BiH Ministry of Foreign Affairs, writes Klux.

Also, invitations have been sent to the addresses of all foreign ministries of the Southeast Europe Co-operation Process Summit countries -- SEECP.
