Slovak FM convinced RS referendum won't be held

Lajcak said that RS President Milorad Dodik has violated an agreement reached in 2011 with then EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton not to call a referendum, but to solve the issues concerning justice within the structural dialogue EU-Bosnia-Herzegovina. For this reason, the Slovak minister said, a referendum would now be "morally unacceptable."

Lajcak told reporters that "the decision of the RS parliament to hold a referendum is not possible first for legal reasons, because it is unacceptable that an entity decides about institutions on the state level."

Lajcak told reporters also that it was "politically unacceptable, because the only way to resolve things in Bosnia-Herzegovina is through dialogue, not with unilateral moves."

"(Structural) dialogue is continuing, and Mr. Dodik gave up on his obligations and is asking for a referendum again. This is unacceptable and it is certainly not going to happen. That is why I asked the high representative of the EU to put the isue of the referendum in the RS in Bosnia-Herzegovina on the agenda of the ministerial meeting," Lajcak added.

When asked "what he thought about what had happened at the commemoration in Srebrenica," Lajcak said he was "sorry for what happened to Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic."

"That's not the way we should remember the victims of genocide. If we continue with the hatred, it undoubtedly will not help the country to move forward," he concluded.
