The US Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina told Radio Free Europe that the US supports the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue and that there are no parallels between Kosovo, Serbia and Republika Srpska (RS).
“What we support when it comes to Kosovo is definitely a dialogue that is being conducted, which we believe should be conducted until a solution is reached that will be the result of a joint agreement between both sides. We certainly welcome the role of the EU in those talks,” US Ambassador to BiH Maureen Cormack told RFE.
Commenting the more often mentions of new demarcations in the region, such as the one between Kosovo and Serbia, and in the context that such a move would cause a domino effect i.e. affecting the RS, she said that US policy is more than clear and consistent – “there are no parallels between Kosovo and Serbia and the RS. “
“Our policy is consistent when it comes to the support and commitment to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of BiH. This is a country that consists of two entities. According to the Dayton Peace Agreement, BiH has two entities in its structure, and they do not have the right to secession, according to the Dayton Peace Agreement,” Cormack pointed out.
