Special, parallel ties between Serbia, Republika Srbija at historical maximum

Belgrade, 23 July 2021

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic met with President of the Republika Srpska Zeljka Cvijanovic, with whom he discussed a number of topics important for special and parallel ties between Serbia and Republika Srpska.

Selakovic said that special and parallel ties between Serbia and Republika Srpska are developing and at this moment are at the historical maximum, i.e., at the highest level since the agreement was concluded and since Serbia and Republika Srpska have existed and acted together.

One of the topics, he added, was the functioning of the joint Serbian diaspora and activities in the field of preserving the Serbian national, cultural and religious identity.

The joint celebration of the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom and the National Flag on 15 September was also discussed at the meeting.

After the meeting, Cvijanovic said that it is important to work on strengthening the institutional ties between Serbia and Republika Srpska, and that it is important for the citizens of Republika Srpska to be stable and strong.

Cvijanovic expressed gratitude for the economic assistance of Serbia during the previous years, as well as the expectation that the joint infrastructure projects will continue to be realized in the interest of the citizens of Serbia and Republika Srpska.

The officials, among other things, referred to the latest decision of the outgoing High Representative in BiH.

Our position is very clear: the imposed decisions and attitudes, in this case the imposed laws, have not brought anything good to anyone and have not led to any prosperity, said the head of Serbian diplomacy.

Cvijanovic assessed that today's imposed decision of the High Representative is inadequate, inappropriate for democracy and backward, and that it can take BiH back two or three decades.
