Serbia will never turn its back on Republika Srpska

Belgrade/Srbac, 3 August 2023

President of the Republic of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic and Prime Minister Ana Brnabic visited today, together with the highest representatives of Republika Srpska, the newly built kindergarten "Serbia", in the municipality of Srbac, Republika Srpska.

President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, Prime Minister of Republika Srpska Radovan Viskovic, member of BiH Presidency Zeljka Cvijanovic, as well as ministers in the government of Serbia Sinisa Mali and Nikola Selakovic were also on the tour.

In his address to the gathered citizens, Vucic said that Serbia respects the integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but that it must never renounce the fact that the Serbs on both sides of the Drina are the same people, that they have the same language and the same alphabet.

The situation is neither easy nor simple for us due to the increasingly difficult pressures, both on Serbia and Republika Srpska, due to the increasingly difficult situation in Ukraine. What is important for people in Republika Srpska to know is that Serbia will always respect international public law, but that it will never forget or renounce its people, he emphasised.

According to him, there will never be any more blockades on the Drina, turning the head aside when talking about the position of our people.

We will fight to be our own, to survive, to preserve our name and surname, without touching anyone, the President said.

He announced even more significant economic support from Serbia to the Republika Srpska, because, as he pointed out, the main blows will be to show that Republika Srpska cannot survive.

If someone else wants to help Bosniaks, Croats, anyone in Serbia, everyone is welcome. We would be happy if they invested in our country and named their facilities "BiH" or "Croatia". We will continue to invest in Republika Srpska and no one can stop us from doing that, Vucic pointed out.

The new kindergarten covers more than 1,600 square metres and will be able to accommodate about 200 children. Serbia and Republika Srpska jointly invested about 2.1 million convertible marks (€1.07 million) in the construction of the facility. In the next phase, the construction of a children's playground, parking lot, and access road is planned.
