The President of Republika Srpska entity, Milorad Dodik, stated that NATO's latest annual report presented a one-sided view of Bosnia and Herzegovina and that it tends to ignore the views of the RS, which may lead to reconsideration of its participation in the reform processes defined by the Reform Program.
Dodik said that in NATO's latest annual report highlighting the cooperation with Bosnia and Herzegovina within the framework of the Reform Program, positions still reflect views contrary to the Reform Program, the Cabinet of the President of Republika Srpska has announced.
The authors of the report, whose signatory is the Secretary General of the Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, point out that Bosnia and Herzegovina is the only country that aspires to join the Alliance, and Bosnia and Herzegovina aspires to join the Alliance, Dodik said. According to him, by presenting such positions that represent the one-sided view of the Alliance and the FBiH, they ignore the historical facts of the bombing of the Serbian people and placing them on one side in the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and use terms that do not clearly define their position.
It is extremely tendentious and ill-intentioned to ignore the views of the Republika Srpska without whose consent it is not even a member of the Alliance, as well as disrespecting the Republika Srpska's position on neutrality in conflicts of any kind, emphasized Dodik.
According to him, this kind of behavior of the NATO alliance can lead to the questioning of the participation of Republika Srpska in the reform processes defined by the Reform Program and its withdrawal.
