RS National Assembly to discuss on New York Declaration – Radisic in Srbinje

Member of the BiH Presidency Zivko Radisic stated that is very important that the RS National Assembly discuss the topic of “unnecessary political conclusions” regarding the New York Declaration. All issues important for the RS, including the BiH border service, cannot be hidden from public and it is only one of the proposals that needs to go into procedure, considered Radisic. Radisic said that decisions on vital issues cannot be imposed by anybody and that it is more useful to supply consensus and agreement in the entities and BiH institutions on these vital issues. Radisic states that he believes the solution for the BiH border service will be found because the border must be organized to protect the interests of state and constitutive elements. Also, the border must be organized in order to control and stop crime and terrorism, added Radisic. “No document was signed in New York and we cannot discuss it as a declaration” states Radisic. “The proposal of organization for the BiH border service will receive its final form in parliamentary procedure” concluded Radisic.
