(5 years ago)Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq has said he has not read the International Community High Representative's report in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Christian Schmidt, in which there is reportedly danger from the dissolution of this state and for real conflicts, but added that he has realised that the main charges are against Republika Srpska, and that [...]
Everyone else has violated the Dayton Agreement, not Republika Srpska, but I want to read the report” carefully, Vuciq said in a Pink Television speech from Glasgou, where the United Nations Summit for Climate is being held.
Vuciq has said that in Glasgou, he has not met with Bosnia and Herzegovina's tripartite presidency chairman, Zeleko Komsic.
In a report to the United Nations, seen by the British Guardian newspaper, Smidt said that if Serbian “separasts apply their threats to re-creating their army, dividing the national armed forces in two,”, then more international peacekeepers would have to be sent to Bosnia to stop the country from slipping into a new war.
International peacekeeping tasks in Bosnia currently have a European Union force, known as Euphorus, which has about 700 troops.
NATO has a formal headquarters in Sarajevo.
In his first report since taking office in August, Schmidt said Bosnia is facing “the greatest existential threat of the post-war period”.
The lack of response to the current situation would jeopardise [the Dayton Agreement], while instability in Bosnia would have broader regional implications. Prospects for further divisions and conflicts are very real”, the Guardian quoted international representative, Schmidt.
Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik is threatening to split Republika Srpska's Serb-run entities from the rest of Bosnia.
He has also said Bosnian Serbs will withdraw from the country's common military and recreate a Serb force.
Representatives of the Republika Srpska have been boycotting the work of Bosnia's central institutions since late July, when Schmidt's predecessor, Valentin Inzko, has imposed a law banning the denial of genocide and other war crimes in Bosnia.
Republika Srpska has refused to ban genocide denial by law.
Republika Srpska along with the Muslim-Croatian Federation are the two entities that make up Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Such organisation is done with the so-called Dayton Agreement, which has ended the war in Bosnia in the 1990s.
Vuciq has said he intends that in his party's assembly, he will promote the new term “national ambition”, whose goal is for Serbia to be the most economically developed in the region, to have peace and build closer relations with neighbours.
He has also said there is no international law and justice for Serbs.
According to him, Serbia needs to understand the situation in the world, and that it was not what opened Pandora's box, accepting Kosovo's citizenship, but others alluding that other states and not Serbia have done it.
