SRPSKA CAN GIVE LECTURES TO FBiH ON WHAT SOVEREIGNTY IS

VIŠEGRAD, MARCH 25 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska has its sovereignty, institutions, and leadership that democratically make decisions, and it can give lectures to the Federation of BiH /FBiH/ on what sovereignty is, the Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Staša Košarac said today, adding that BiH has no sovereignty as long as foreigners sit in its institutions.

Commenting on Christian Schmidt's statement that "there is no other goal except a sovereign, territorially intact, and stable BiH," Košarac emphasized that sovereignty can only be built by domestic politicians, which has been consistently communicated from Republika Srpska.

"He /Schmidt/ is the embodiment of falsification, and he recently gathered a group of typical falsifiers at a meeting in Sarajevo. The Serbian Civic Council represents just five Serbs in Sarajevo, and they cannot legitimately speak about the status of Serbs in BiH," emphasized Košarac.

He also pointed out that "Schmidt is the main political cancer in BiH," adding that he is not legitimate, that he imposes decisions, and seeks to implement certain solutions.

Košarac told reporters in Višegrad that BiH lacks sovereignty as long as foreigners hold positions in its institutions, adding that an agreement between two entities and three constituent peoples - without foreign involvement - has been a clear political message from Republika Srpska.

"Today, we have three foreigners in the Constitutional Court. Is that the sovereignty of BiH? What kind of sovereignty can Schmidt advocate when he demonstrates that BiH has no sovereignty? Since he has partners in the Federation of BiH who complement his or Bosniak policies, let them build sovereignty on such a foundation in the Federation," Košarac said.
