TREBINJE, September 6 (FENA) - Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik expresses readiness to hold talks with the EU Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn, and has urged the NATO representatives to withdraw the decision to issue the Membership Action Plan (MAP) for Bosnia and Herzegovina, “as they would not be singled out as the main reason why the institutions in BiH are not functioning.”
Dodik reiterated to journalists in Trebinje today that “there is a willingness to cooperate with that military alliance, but membership is not an option”.
“We have a certain form of cooperation, we understand what this great military integration is and we are ready to cooperate at the level at which Serbia cooperates with NATO. Predicting the membership is absolutely something that has been imposed,” Dodik said.
He stressed that it was no problem for him to talk to Hahn and say what he wants and what he does not want to do, but that “it is unacceptable to impose in advance some expectations from us”.
He reiterated his position that a new Council of Ministers of BiH should be appointed first.
“I do not mind putting before the new convocation of the Council of Ministers a document that will be called whatever they want and that the Council of Ministers then decides on it, but to say in advance what the Council should is another matter and it is unacceptable,” Dodik said.
Dodik and President of the Swisslion Business System Rodoljub Drašković today agreed in Trebinje that they will be the founders of the foundation that will finance the construction of a new clinic-hospital, diagnostic and rehabilitation center in Trebinje worth more than 50 million KM.
