Sarajevo assassin was defending his country - president

He added that the exhibition, "Young Bosnia and the Sarajevo Assassination," was of great importance for understanding the influences and circumstances that led to the war.

"Today, as in the past, great powers impose their value judgments, not only for the future but also in the interpretation of what has been experienced, primarily of historical events," said Nikolić.

The president noted that the organization Young Bosnia ("Mlada Bosna") which carried out the assassination targeting the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, did not follow the "Greater Serbia idea," something confirmed by the very names of the movement's members, that included Muslims and Croats.

The exhibition organized in Belgrade by the Archives of the RS and the Archives of Yugoslavia was opened by the Serb member of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Nebojša Radmanović, and will run through September 30.

While in Belgrade, Radmanović also conferred with Nikolić, and the two official said they were "satisfied with the very good relations between Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina - in particular between Serbia and Republika Srpska (RS), pursuant to the Agreement on Special Relations - and expressed the wish that those relations be enhanced further to improve the quality of life for the citizens of both countries."

Efforts must be made to establish the best possible cooperation, in particular in the economy and among all regional countries, because the Balkan states would much better face the challenges of the global market together, a statement from Nikolić's press office quoted him and Radmanović as saying.

Speaking about the situation in Bosnia, President Nikolić said that Serbia, as a signatory of the Dayton Agreement, is interested in progress in both entities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in mutually beneficial cooperation.

He also said that he is against any changes to the Dayton Agreement, which he said would certainly lead to an erosion of stability in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the statement said.

Bure baruta pred eksplozijom: Počinje veliki rat?

Bliski istok, zbog promene ravnoteže snaga i dubokih kriza, pre svega palestinsko-izraelske, može se smatrati buretom baruta i ima potencijal da dovede ne samo do regionalnog sukoba, već i do globalnog konflikta.
