For some it is “empty rhetoric” and “nothing new”, but for the leader of the Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, it is time to “set the border” between this entity and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The reason for this, according to him, is the resolution by which the General Assembly of the United Nations recognized the killing of over 8,000 Bosnian men and boys by Bosnian Serb forces as genocide in 1995.
For Dodik, who denies the genocide in Srebrenica, “the damage caused by this resolution cannot be undone” and the two entities now “must try to be good neighbors and separate in peace”. Bosnia and Herzegovina “has come to an end”, according to him.
The government of the Serbian entity, led by Radovan Vishkovic, has also announced some concrete steps, on the day when the resolution was passed on May 23.
