Speaking at a press conference held after the meeting in Banjaluka, Dacic underlined that Republika Srpska has the support of Serbia, and urged everyone not to forget that Republika Srpska is one and only and that everyone should take care of its future and relations with Serbia.
He pointed out that for us the issue of Republika Srpska and the Serbian people in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a matter of national importance number one.
Dacic referred to the joint activities - a recently held session of the two governments in Trebinje, assessing that it represents the continuity of successful cooperation and joint work on important projects.
Serbia has no intentions of destabilising this area, the First Deputy Prime Minister said, and reiterated that in connection with important life issues a political story should not be made, and that for the citizens the prosperity is the most important.
Serbian top officials will come to Banjaluka on 17 September, when Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov will visit Republika Srpska, he announced.
Dodik expressed his gratitude to Dacic for the support to Republika Srpska, and underlined that the Serbs in Republika Srpska and in Serbia are one people.
