Nenad Stevandić said that Serbs living in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina continue to face discrimination and pressure, adding that all such cases should be documented and sanctioned.
Commenting on the position of Serbs in the Federation, Stevandić described it as a major paradox, claiming that the largest ethnic cleansing during and after the war was carried out in the Federation. He specifically referenced Sarajevo, saying more than 160,000 Serbs had left the city and that the remaining Serb population is now very small.
He contrasted this with Banja Luka, where he said a significant number of Bosniaks and Croats live and enjoy full rights without major incidents.
Stevandić also mentioned areas such as Zenica and other parts of the Federation where he said Serb communities had largely disappeared.
At the same time, he pointed to Bosniak-majority communities in Janja and Kozarac, saying Bosniaks in Republika Srpska are integrated into public and social life and do not face major problems.
He further stated that even after the terrorist attack on the Zvornik Police Station, there were no large-scale incidents directed at Muslims in Republika Srpska.
Stevandić concluded that stereotypes portraying Serbs as solely responsible for all past conflicts must be challenged and that mistreatment of Serb communities should no longer go unpunished or be justified through political slogans.
