Decision of Srpska Lista to leave provisional institutions in Pristina is good, President of Republic of Srpska, Milorad Dodik told Serbian media. Dodik added that Kosovo, in addition to Bosnia and Herzegovina is an evidence of a failed attempts from the West.
Dodik also said the aim of Marko Djuric’s arrest was to intimidate the Serbs and try to humiliate both them and Serbia.
President of Republic of Srpska, Milorad Dodik told FoNet news agency that the arrest of Serbian Government Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director, Marko Djuric is an unacceptable act of violence of the authorities of the self-declared Kosovo.
He added this act of violence most certainly would not contribute to the advancement of international relations in the southern Serbian province.
Former US official who caused a storm with his statements, Brian Hoyt Yee, is no longer listed as an employee of the US State Department, Sputnik is reporting.
The website also said that Yee told Greek media no decision had been made to appoint him as US ambassador in one of the Balkan countries - something Serbian media previously often speculated about.
Serbia does not want to unify with the Republika Srpska (RS), the Belgrade-based daily Danas says was told by President Aleksandar Vucic's cabinet.
Vucic's cabinet said this when asked about RS President Milorad Dodik's map, drawn during his interview for DW, which showed his vision of the map of the Western Balkans.
In it, the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina joins Serbia, together with the north of a partitioned Kosovo.
Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said that the policy of preserving territorial integrity, represented by Serbia, is an obstacle to the separation of Republika Srpska.
"If Serbia, in that moment, has said that it was OK, when Kosovo seceded, we would have been already separated," Dodik said in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
If Belgrade decides to recognize Kosovo's independence, Dodik says, he would not object, but it would mean that the Republika Srpska could be independent.
Bakir Izetbegovic saying that he hopes Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) will recognize Kosovo represented "a dangerous provocation."
This is according to former US Ambassador to Serbia William Montgomery.
Montgomery added that he "hoped the international community will react strongly and condemn this statement."
Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic said Serbia takes the side of Spain, and that despite important differences in declarations of independence of Catalonia and Kosovo, Serbia has to face reality and look into future, FoNet news agency reported.
Vucic also said Kosovo is twice worse case than Catalonia.
President of the Republic of Srpska, (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Milorad Dodik congratulated last night victory to Srpska Lista, in the Kosovo local elections, adding it would provide easier achievement of Serb national interests, RTV Puls reported.
“I think it is important and it would provide for the continuation of the policies coordinated from Belgrade. In any case, it would be easier to achieve the Serbian national interests in Kosovo and state policy in Kosovo,” Dodik said.
