REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

BANJA LUKA, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - At today's meeting with the special envoy of the German Government for the Western Balkans, Manuel Sarrazin, the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik emphasized that Srpska has never been against projects within the Berlin Process, as long as they do not encroach on the Constitution of BiH. BANJA LUKA, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik wished the Serbian football team to win tonight's match with Denmark at the European Championship in Munich, with the message "Go on Eagles''! BANJA LUKA, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of Republika Srpska will pay out about BAM 10 million in direct support for wheat production this year, and the funds will be transferred to farmers no later than July 15, said Assistant Minister Saša Lalić. BiH SARAJEVO, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - According to the opinion of the Venice Commission, ethnic quotas cannot be used when electing judges to the Constitutional Court of BiH, as this constitutes discrimination and undermines the integrity of this judicial institution. BANJA LUKA, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - The non-binding opinion of the Venice Commission is nothing more than paving the path and implementing the ideas of unitarians with the aim of creating a "civil", read unitary BiH in which certain Komšićs and Dunovićs will represent the interests of the peoples whom they "belong" to, constitutional law professor Siniša Karan pointed out in his SRNA statement. SARAJEVO, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - The Constitution of BiH stipulates that two judges in the Constitutional Court of BiH are elected by the Republika Srpska National Assembly, four by the House of Representatives of the Federation of BiH /FBiH/ and three by the European Court of Human Rights, and nowhere does it say that they must be of certain nationalities, so the opinion of the so-called Venice Commission is superfluous, lawyer Ognjen Tadić told SRNA. BANJALUKA, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - Head of the Association of Republika Srpska Women Victims of War Božica Živković Rajilić pointed out that the Serb-hating and warmongering statements by the Minister of the Interior of the Federation of BiH Ramo Isak, which cause even greater discord and bring unrest to all the peoples of BiH, are unacceptable. SARAJEVO, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - The Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers, Staša Košarac, assessed that it is apparently very difficult for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Elmedin Konaković, to understand what it means to be a democratically elected representative of the people and to have no other ordering party than the people who elected you. SERBIA BELGRADE, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević stated at a meeting with EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Ylva Johansson that Serbs in the southern Serbian province are in an extremely difficult situation, as well as suffering great pressure and other forms of coercion caused by unilateral Priština moves. BELGRADE, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - In the dialogue with Priština, Belgrade is ready for a compromise solution, but that it implies that both sides are equally satisfied or dissatisfied, said Serbian Prime Minister Miloš Vučević ahead of tomorrow's round of dialogue in Brussels. BELGRADE, JUNE 25 /SRNA/ - Director of Serbia’s parliamentary Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petković, said that the dialogue process is at a standstill due to unilateral and escalating moves by Priština, which directly tramples on all agreements reached in Brussels.
