The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, met today in Podgorica with the President of the Montenegrin Assembly, Andrija Mandić.
After the meeting, Dodik stated that he supports Montenegro’s commitment to the EU, highlighting that Republika Srpska is also on this path.
“I am here to support peace, stability, and the development of Montenegro. I am here to support its commitment to the EU,” Dodik said.
He emphasized that efforts are being made in BiH to achieve negotiation status.
“The European path is fine, but it cannot be at the expense of the identity and constitutional position of Republika Srpska, it cannot promote the unitarization and centralization of BiH. BiH can move on the European path modeled on Belgium, and in this regard, we share certain values with the policies of Montenegro,” Dodik stated.
He conveyed that Republika Srpska is not a disruptive factor but, according to the Constitution, constitutes BiH and does not accept the degradation of the Constitution.
Mandić highlighted that whoever respects the Dayton Agreement, respects Republika Srpska as well.
“Whoever values BiH, values Republika Srpska. Whoever respects equality, sees Serbs and Bosniaks with the same rights,” he said.
Mandić stated that without Republika Srpska, there is no BiH.
“Whoever disputes the rights of Serbs in BiH, is undermining BiH as a country,” he emphasized.
