President opposed to "one-sided solutions in Bosnia"

Serbian President Boris Tadic has said that he is against imposing any solution on Bosnia-Herzegovina and "suspension of certain politicians". He has also assessed that speculations that some politicians could be excluded from political life over a referendum called in Bosnia's Serb entity, the Serb Republic, RS, were "dangerous". President opposed to "one-sided solutions in Bosnia" “Imposing decisions or excluding some of the elected [politicians] from a political process is not a solution. The ideas that representatives of certain peoples and entities will be suspended are dangerous and Serbia opposes them,” the Serbian president stressed. According to Tadic, the RS, Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina, international representatives and Croat politicians in Bosnia-Herzegovina can only reach a solution for the recent political crisis through a compromise. “The time of folklore patriotism and national policies that are not aware of the consequences of certain political actions has passed. I oppose the partition of Bosnia-Herzegovina precisely in the name of national and regional policy, but I am also fighting for the status of the Serbian people in Bosnia-Herzegovina,“ he told reporters in Kragujevac. He pointed out that the upcoming referendum had nothing to do with the country's territorial integrity, despite unpleasant associations that the word “referendum“ caused in Bosnia-Herzegovina. “The first and most important thing is preservation of Bosnia-Herzegovina's integrity and that is not only a policy which is conditioned by our interests in Kosovo, but it is also a precondition for peace. Preservation of neighboring countries' integrity is a precondition for peace and this is why I oppose every idea of Bosnia-Herzegovina's partition,“ the Serbian president concluded.
