Izetbegovic: Future Kosovo status can be linked to new Republika Srpska status

“They will not be able to link Kosovo's future status, in both Kosovo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, is the same -- the Serb one who committed crimes, genocide -- led to the intervention of the international community and NATO air attacks to prevent the terrible violence against non-Serbs,” he told Radiosarajevo.ba portal.

He estimated that “has no historical, moral or legal preconditions” for Republika Srpska's independence.

Izetbegovic, among other things, stressed that Serbia “would have to recognise the genocide and stop protecting war criminals if it wants to become part of the European Union”.
