Minister Selakovic: Someone in the region has an issue with economically strong Serbia

Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikola Selakovic said that it was unacceptable to talk about the elimination of the Republic of Srpska as one of the entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, stressing that Serbia maintained that the Dayton Accords cannot be amended unless all three constituent peoples and both entities agreed.

The Minister said for RTS that Serbia is a guarantor of the Dayton Accords and that it respects the territorial integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but that no-one can prevent it from having love and caring for the Serbian people living there, in a way all other countries take care about their own people. He noted that Serbia and Russia share similar positions on the Dayton Accords, which is important for the stability of the region.

Minister Selakovic said that the Dayton Accords are a complex political and military mechanism which established peace after a bloody conflict in the territory of Europe and that, as such, it contains a number of details whose amending can cause chain reactions.

Referring to the articles from the Croatian media stating, among others, that the only solution for the region is to break Serbia's back, Minister Selakovic said that he found it interesting that three influential media houses in Croatia on the same day issued three articles against Serbia, out of the blue, attacking the policy pursued by Serbia and its strategic activity as well as its right to care about Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica, Montenegro and the Republic of Srpska.

"Breaking one's back, an axis, these words bring back the talk and narratives from the previous periods...", Minister Selakovic said.

He said that the approach of the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic is absolutely opposite one and that he keeps saying that it will be good in Serbia when everyone around it is good as well, which is the key of his foreign policy initiatives in the region.

The Minister said that someone has an issue with the fact that Serbia will surpass the neighboring Croatia in terms of GDP next year, and that it can borrow, should it be so inclined, at three times lower interest rates than Montenegro.

"Someone has an issue with this. An economically strong Serbia is a factor of stability in the region and this part of Europe", Selakovic said.

He also said that it is not normal that "someone can think that its normal" to compare a political representative of the Serbian people in the neighbouring country with Nazi leaders, adding that the international community would react differently if something similar was said about other peoples by someone from Serbia.
