LOVE REPUBLIKA SRPSKA, BUILD ITS INSTITUTIONS, AND NOTHING CAN HARM IT

NEVESINJE, JULY 9 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska Prime Minister Savo Minić stressed that Republika Srpska must be loved and its institutions strengthened so that nothing can harm it.

"I keep reiterating that whoever represents any institution or works in one must work in the name and in the interest of Republika Srpska and must love Republika Srpska," Minić told reporters in Nevesinje.

Responding to a question about anti-Serb hate graffiti, he pointed to what he described as the resurgence of old evils.

"We must prepare for this and cultivate a culture of remembrance so that it does not catch us by surprise, while at the same time building institutions so that they cannot do anything to us. Then we will have prevailed," Minić said.

He noted that he was in Nevesinje today, where the 151st anniversary is being marked of the moment when the Serb people rose because they could no longer endure such oppression.
