CVIJANOVIĆ: THERE IS NO BiH WITHOUT ENTITIES

BANJA LUKA, JANUARY 12 /SRNA/ – The Serb member of the Presidency of BiH Željka Cvijanović said at today's Christmas reception at the Kozara Barracks in Banja Luka that BiH cannot exist without the entities.

Cvijanović said that the negative statements directed at Republika Srpska in recent days by former head of the Islamic Community in BiH Mustafa Cerić and Minister of Defense in the Council of Ministers Zukan Helez are completely unfounded. She said it is positive that there is an inseparable link between the institutions of Republika Srpska and its representatives operating within the defense system at the level of BiH. "This is something we will continue to nurture. We want to show that the essence of Srpska and its strength lie in unified action, as well as in the ability to jointly fulfill goals and obligations," Cvijanović told reporters in Banja Luka. She extended Christmas and New Year greetings to all members of the Serb people serving in the defense system and in the Armed Forces of BiH. "We wish them continued professionalism, as well as peace, prosperity, and all the best to their families," Cvijanović said.
