Member of Bosnia and Herzegovina presidency: I would recognise Kosovo tomorrow (Lajmi)
Bosniak Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bakir Izetbegovic, said that the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is making efforts to reassess relations with Kosovo and considering steps to facilitate movement of B&H citizens to Kosovo and vice versa. Izetbegovic said that if it was up to him, he would recognise Kosovo tomorrow but this can only be done through a consensus between the tripartite presidency made of Bosniak, Serb, and Croat entities. “We are continuously working on this and we expect a more flexible and understanding position from the Kosovo side. Bosnia and Herzegovina can recognise Kosovo only through consensus. Personally, I would do this tomorrow,” said Izetbegovic adding that as the normalization of relations between Pristina and Belgrade advances, so will the position of B&H move towards recognising independence of Kosovo.
