High Representative to Bosnia Miroslav Lajcak today expressed his concern over the latest RS parliament's moves. The assembly of the Republic of Srpska (RS) last night adopted a resolution that states the Bosnian Serb entity has the right to organize a status referendum. Lajcak worried over RS resolution The parliament in Banja Luka also voted against Bosnia-Herzegovina's recognition of the Kosovo Albanians' unilaterally declared independence. Today, Lajcak repeated that Bosnia-Herzegovina is an "internationally recognized state, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of which are guaranteed with the Dayton peace accords." The 1992-1995 Bosnian war ended with the Dayton Agreement, that split the country into the Bosniak-Croatian and Serb entities, and placed an international official as its highest authority. Lajcak also condemned yesterday's unrest in Banja Luka, when Serbs protested against the Kosovo secession. He also welcomed RS Premier Milorad Dodik's calls for calm. He added the RS MUP reacted in a "professional manner" when they handled the demonstration. Lajcak's criticism of the RS parliamentary resolution was joined today by the Bosniak member of the presidency in Sarajevo, Haris Silajdzic. "It has no legal effect. Entities are not states and do not have such jurisdiction," Silajdzic was quoted. He added that the Bosnian presidency "will protect the integrity of Bosnia-Herzegovina", and rejected any possibility that the RS could hold a status referendum.
