Positive changes in democratization marked in RS and BiH Federation – Sarovic and Godelle
RS Vice-president Mirko Sarovic met with French Ambassador to BiH Yves Godelle to discuss the current situation in the RS and BiH Federation. Godelle judged the situation as very positive, but said there is still much to do to establish trust among the BiH people. Godelle added that French foreign policy in the Balkans is that BiH exists with two entities and that its three nations should live in an agreeable atmosphere. Sarovic stated that Godelle executed a typical French and European policy, a policy of friendship in BiH, and expressed hope that France would continue to lead the same policy. Godelle concluded by saying that he wishes well for the Serb people in the RS and that Europe awaits them.
