The repeated declarations of the president of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Milorad Dodik, that he will announce the secession of the entity, have been condemned by the international community, including the European Union.
"The EU strongly condemns the secessionist rhetoric, and we have made this clear to all interlocutors in Bosnia and Herzegovina", an EU diplomatic source told Radio Free Europe.
This source, referring to the last statement of the Serbian leader in Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that "Dodik is already quite isolated and just wants attention".
"All kinds of occasional statements by Dodik really don't even deserve to be commented on. He has no friends in the EU, maybe one, but he knows very well that declarations about the independence of Republika Srpska are meaningless, because such an entity would be completely isolated politically and economically, and would only bring more suffering for the citizens", said this EU diplomatic source.
"Dodik is already quite isolated, and with such statements he makes the efforts of a desperate man to get more attention and increase his importance", said this source.
Regarding the statements coming about the possibility of the separation of the Republika Srpska entity from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the EU recalls that it strongly supports the unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This country is expected to accept the EU's decision to start membership negotiations in March, depending on the fulfillment of certain criteria.
EU sources also recall the latest conclusions, which for Bosnia and Herzegovina were approved at the EU Council meeting, within the enlargement package, where concern was expressed about the secessionist rhetoric and consequences were warned.
"The Council is seriously concerned about the legal initiatives in the Republika Srpska entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which are contrary to the European path of Bosnia and Herzegovina, including secessionist rhetoric and questioning the country's constitutional order," the statement said. all EU member countries.
"The sovereignty, territorial integrity, constitutional order, including the decisions of the Constitutional Court, and the international subjectivity of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be respected. Any action that goes against these principles will have serious consequences", it was stated in the position of the EU, expressed in these conclusions, and the EU continues to have the same position even now.
Diplomats in the EU also express concern about the continuation of Russia's influence in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the Republika Srpska entity, which has been called upon, as if all of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a state, to fully implement the decision to support EU sanctions. to share with Russia./ REL
