KOŠARAC CANCELED PARTICIPATION IN THE FAIR OVER SCHMIDT'S PRESENCE

SARAJEVO, APRIL 14 /SRNA/ - The Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Staša Košarac canceled his participation in today's opening ceremony of the International Business Fair in Mostar due to the presence of Christian Schmidt.

"I don't want to share space with a man who caused enormous political harm to Republika Srpska and its institutions through a politically rigged process against the leader /of SNSD/ Milorad Dodik," said Košarac.

He assessed that Schmidt additionally contaminated political relations in BiH and did not bring anyone anything good.

"Everyone who thinks well of BiH should insist on his departure, instead of offering him hospitality," emphasized Košarac, who is the Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations in the Council of Ministers.

He mentioned that the Mostar fair is an important event, which the line ministry traditionally supports.

"I thank the organisers for the invitation, but I resolutely refuse to be in the same space with Schmidt," Košarac posted on Instagram.
