Deputy Chair of the Council of Ministers Staša Košarac said that what troubles political Sarajevo the most today is something it cannot control—the unity between Serbia and Republika Srpska.
According to Košarac, political Sarajevo is troubled by the policies pursued by Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić because they refuse to accept pressure, blackmail, or imposed solutions, while defending the interests of the Serbian people and insisting on peace, stability, and mutual respect.
“What troubles them is the fact that Dodik and Vučić have recognized that, at this moment, a nationally responsible policy is more important than political comfort and the expectations of others, especially those coming from Sarajevo. Their policy is not one of conflict, but a policy of a strong Serbia and Republika Srpska, preserving peace while clearly defending the legitimate interests of the Serbian people,” Košarac wrote on Instagram.
He said that every meeting between Dodik and Vučić, every joint message, and every demonstration of close relations between Serbia and Republika Srpska creates new political frustration in Sarajevo.
“What troubles them most is not a single statement, visit, or symbol—it is the image of Serbian unity. They are troubled by the fact that Republika Srpska is not alone and that it has Serbia behind it, a country that is strong, stable, and prepared to stand by its people,” Košarac stated.
He rejected attempts to portray Serbian unity as a threat to others.
“Serbian unity is not directed against Bosniaks, Croats, or any other people, nor does it deprive anyone of the right to their own identity and political interests. Serbia and Republika Srpska will not become less united simply because political Sarajevo cannot accept their closeness. Quite the opposite,” he said.
Košarac stressed that Serbia and Republika Srpska would continue to stand together in peace, in preserving their shared memory and interests, and in their vision of the future.
“Serbian unity is our strength,” Košarac concluded.
