After many years, Serbs in the Bosnia-Herzegovina again feel alone, Ivanic told Vucic, adding that he feared the practice of outvoting Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina state bodies - which began with the decision on the census - would continue and that Serbs' national interests would be threatened.
Vucic "thanked Ivanic for the information and for his responsible actions aimed at protecting the vital interests of both Bosnia-Herzegovina and the Serb people in it," a statement from the Serbian government said.
"Serbia wants good, closest relations with Bosnia-Herzegovina, but Serbia cannot and will never leave Serbs Bosnia-Herzegovina in the lurch," Vucic said.
The statement added that "due to the newly created circumstances" Vucic and Ivanic agreed to meet more often "and exchange information and opinions."
"Certain politicians"
Serbia has been investing major efforts in maintaining stability in the region, but does not always have support from neighboring countries, Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said on Tuesday in a conversation with Mladen Ivanic.
“Certain politicians often provoke tensions in the region, for their own narrow-minded, but short-term political benefits, and thus harm the reconciliation process among citizens and states,” Nikolic said.
This is particularly true for Bosnia-Herzegovina, in which the situation is rapidly deteriorating.
“The future of the entire Balkans lies in cooperation, in strive to accept European standards, and the pre-requisite for the cooperation must be peace and stability, above all, and Serbia is insisting on this,” the president said.
Ivanic has noted that the recent statements by the heads of the Islamic religious community and Catholic Church in Bosnia-Herzegovina and rhetoric of politicians from the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina are pushing citizens back to the early 1990s, the president's press service said in a release.
The political puppet masters are pulling the strings of paranoia yet again, this time though most can see through their self-serving myopia. Most political decisions are based upon the need to provide shelter, health, protection, education and opportunities to prosper; these things are human needs. Debates hinge more on fiscal and economic models than ethnic victimization. Bos Serbs voting for Bos Serbs or fearing being outvoted by a block of non-Bos Serbs shows their political short sightedness and the lack of vision of their political leaders.
Enshrine equality, rule of law and respect for the constituent’s belief systems (theist and non-theist), separate the religious from the secular and get on with letting people live their lives in peace with the hope for their children of a better world than the crap thrown around for the last 20 years. Do people still think that all their problems will be solved by eliminating any who don’t look, pray and think the same as them.

Not once in this report did the words "Republica Srpska" fall from the lips of anyone. Yet this is really what this is all about.
Again, B&H is two entities and will always be two entities for as long as it exists, the Republica Srpska and the Federation of B&H. Republica Srpska is the part consisting of Serbs and the F of B&H is the entity consisting of Croats and "Bosnians".

The Bosniaks want the new census to include 100,000 people who dont live there to be included as residents in the Serb Republic without even living there. This is all about showing Bosniaks to have over half the population in Bosia. Not like that will change anything but we see the wartime plan to subjugate Serbs has never relented. Good luck though, RS is going nowhere.

This nothing new. Its been going on since the end of the war, but as usual they fail in their quest LOL. The new census is all about rigging the numbers to "prove" that the Bosniaks and Croats outnumber the Serbs, but that is not true since those numbers have been trimmed during the war and the Bosnaiks have kicked out most of the Croats reducing their numbers from prewar 700,000 to less than 350,000 today. However, in Bosnia today even the dead are counted amongst the living.
