RS President Rajko Kuzmanovic says the international community should condemn recent calls to scrap the Bosnian entities. Kuzmanovic said that such ideas were unconstitutional and were a flagrant breach of the Dayton Accords. RS condemns calls to scrap entities He called the comments coming from Sarajevo “tendentious and unfounded” in what as an attempt, he said, to link the capture of Radovan Karadzic to the situation in and the status of the Republic of Srpska (RS). The people making these comments, said the RS president, were clearly showing that they had not given up on their intention to centralize Bosnia-Hercegovina, and were taking every opportunity to bring into question the country’s constitutional-legal organization as set forth in the Dayton Accords. “The RS’s position and powers cannot be linked to any single individual, as the RS was created through the will of the Serb people in response to the attempts to reduce its influence through outvoting its legitimately elected representatives in the Bosnian parliament at the beginning of the Nineties,” he said in a written statement to the press. “The RS is an enduring, legal , and legitimate constitutional category, a result of domestic and international law, and calls for its abolishment are undermining Bosnia-Hercegovina and jeopardizing its European future,” said Kuzmanovic, adding that the RS was politically and economically stable, and that its future depended on its citizens. The RS president said that “the aim of such retrograde rhetoric was to impose an unlawful theory of collective guilt in order to change the constitutional structure to the detriment of the Serb people and the RS.”
