Speaking to press on Wednesday, Republika Srpska Prime Minister Zeljka Cvijanovic said that her government “expresses deep respect for all the victims of the 1990s war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and their families.” PM Cvijanovic also thanked Serbia, Russia, and China for preventing the passage of a UN Security Council resolution that RS sees as counterproductive and offensive.
Following a working and consultative meeting of the government on Wednesday, the PM said that the Government had warned on several occasions that adopting such a resolution by the UN Security Council would not contribute to the building of trust in BiH, rather a further destabilisation of internal relations in the country and that it would seriously disturb the efforts for reaching minimum agreement on numerous issues of interest for the citizens of both entities and Brcko District.
“The Government is determined to work, through dialogue and in cooperation with the local authorities in Srebrenica, towards further improvement of inter-ethnic relations and overall political and business environment in the municipality,” said Cvijanovic.
