Mladen Ivanic, the current chair of the BiH presidency, called on Friday for a trilateral meeting between leaders of BiH, Serbia, and Croatia. Tensions between Croatia and Serbia and RS have been high since the rise of a more conservative faction within the Croatian government. Outstanding issues also color the relationship between BiH and Serbia.
Relations between Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina are burdened by the attack on Serbian PM Aleksandar Vucic in Srebrenica last year and the cancellation of President Tomislav Nikolic’s visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina over the arrest of Srebrenica wartime commander Naser Oric, he said.
“Those two events are a burden for the relations, and were primarily a result of a poor reaction by the Bosniak political elite,” he said.
