Serb member of Bosnian presidency accuses colleague of constitutional meddling
Sarajevo, 22 February: With his statement on "the illegal and secret visit to Moscow by the [Bosnian] Serb
Republic delegation", Sulejman Tihic, [Bosniak] member of the Bosnia-Hercegovina Presidency, is again creating
problems in relation to the constitutional order of Bosnia-Hercegovina, SRNA was told today by the office of the Serb
member of the Presidency, Borislav Paravac.
"Despite the full commitment and readiness of Serb representatives to create an efficient state on the principle
of full equality of the three nations and two entities, the policy pursued by Tihic obviously goes in a completely
different direction and will not bring anything good to Bosnia-Hercegovina or its peoples," the statement says.
With regard to such already recognizable intentions, repeatedly expressed by Sulejman Tihic, the office of the Serb
member of the Presidency warns the supporters of this policy that there can be no Bosnia-Hercegovina without the respect
for its constitutional foundation and full equality of its peoples and entities.
Enforcing certain solutions to the detriment and without the consent of any of the constitutive nations will be
impossible.
"Thanks to its past experience, the Serb people in Bosnia-Hercegovina will never allow any decision to be taken
on the organization of the state where they live without their consent," the statement says, adding:
"Such messages, and humiliation and disqualification of all officials from the Serb Republic, as well as a
number of other examples of Sulejman Tihic's policy, are a bad sign for the future of Bosnia-Hercegovina."
