THERE AREN'T ENOUGH ZUKANS TO PREVENT SERBS FROM CELEBRATING DAY OF REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

BELGRADE, JANUARY 7 /SRNA/ - There are few Zukans to prevent the Serbs from celebrating the holiday of all Serbs - Republika Srpska Day, said the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Serbia and Senator of Republika Srpska, Aleksandar Vulin.

After the Minister of Defense in the Council of Ministers, Zukan Helez, refused to give permission for a military plane or helicopter to fly from Serbia over BiH on the days when Republika Srpska Day is celebrated, Vulin said that the foolishness in the Council of Ministers is contagious, "from Elmedin to Zukan". "When I thought that no one would be as senseless as /Elmedin/ Konaković, who forbids me to fly to BiH, but cannot forbid me to actually come to BiH, Zukan Helez came forward to forbid the Government of Serbia from flying military aircraft to the Republika Srpska Day celebration ", Vulin stated in a written statement. Vulin pointed out that Serbia is a country, so in addition to military aircraft, it also has civilian aircraft, and many of them participated in saving lives and extinguishing fires in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina last summer. "There aren't enough Zukans who would prevent the Serbs from celebrating the Republika Srpska Day, a holiday for all Serbs, just as it was decided at the All-Serb Assembly. But, why are you banning us when you can't forbid us?", Vulin asked. Helez refused to give permission for a military plane or helicopter to fly over BiH from Serbia on January 8 and 9, with the assessment that that flyover and the visit of a delegation from the Ministry of Defense of Serbia point to the conclusion that the intention is to attend events related to the marking of January 9, which was, as he says, declared an "unconstitutional day" by the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
