Serbia's ambassador to Bosnia says that country is yet to face crimes of the past, and is unable to make moves in the right direction until it does so. “The Bosnia problem lies in that, since it has not faced crimes, especially those committed by representatives of the Bosniak (Muslim) people. Until it does that, there will be no real progress,” Ninoslav Stojadinovic said for the Banjaluka-based daily Glas Srpske. Bosnia has not faced its past, says envoy He said that Serbs and Croats have no such problems, while the Bosniak politicians do not have enough courage to make decisions important for the state. According to Stojadinovic, Serbia has demonstrated what every former Yugoslav country should do to face its past, and primarily the crimes committed by representatives of its own people. Stojadinovic added that the period ranging from 2006-2010 was quite bad for regional cooperation which is very important not only for the region, but also for the region's EU prospects. “Things began to change after Ivo Josipovic was elected as Croatia's president. Following that, Serbian President Boris Tadic and Josipovic encouraged good cooperation. The next step in that direction happened after the last elections in Bosnia,” Stojadinovic said. He emphasized that the appointment of Bakir Izetbegovic instead of Haris Silajdzic as a member of the Bosnia Presidency meant a huge step forward and different atmosphere, and with the appointment of Zlatko Lagumdzija as foreign minister, Bosnia got a more serious politician, who is well aware of circumstances. Stojadinovic announced that Lagumdzija will pay an official visit to Serbia on March 14, and that he will be shortly followed by Chairman of the Bosnia Council of Ministers Vjekoslav Bevanda.
