BiH Presidency member Milorad Dodik expressed gratitude to the presidents of Turkey, Serbia and Croatia after they said they would be willing to mediate talks between the leaders of BiH’s three main ethnic groups on ways to end the country’s political crisis.
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan previously said he is willing to meet with political leaders of the three main ethnic groups in Bosnia, together with the presidents of Croatia and Serbia, in order to discuss ways to end the crisis in the country.
He was referring to the leaders of the strongest parties among Bosnia’s three major ethnic groups – Dodik, who is the leader of the ruling party in Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity, the leader of the Croat Democratic Union (HDZ BiH), Dragan Covic, and the leader of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Bakir Izetbegovic.
Dodik said that Covic is also willing to negotiate in such a format and that only Izetbegovic opposes it.
