If Kosovo becomes a member of the UN and other international institutions, Banjaluka would request the same, President of Republic of Srpska Milorad Dodik told Belgrade-based daily Vecernje Novosti.

“The Assembly of Srpska adopted resolution, saying that in case of establishing of a new international principle and practice in recognizing the right to self-determination, we would insist on determining our state status. This document is still in force and we would not give up on it,” Dodik told Vecernje Novosti.

Dodik said foreigners persistently use double standards and warned that justification they use in case of Kosovo, cannot be excluded for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“In this sense, resolution of the Belgrade-Pristina relations on a permanent basis, must consider resolution of the Republic of Srpska status issue.”

Commenting on decision of UK to exclude discussion on Kosovo from UN SC, Dodik said he is not surprised as politics of Great Britain since Ottoman Empire was always anti-Serbian.
