President Zoran Milanović said on Tuesday there was a risk of the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina deteriorating and that his intention is to prevent that and help find “a framework for coexistence of the three constituent peoples in BiH”, however, he ruled out the possibility of an armed conflict.
“Anyone starting talk of a war erupting in BiH should get their mouth taped,” said Milanović adding that speculations like that amount to war-mongering propaganda.
“Who will attack whom in BiH? Perhaps, Serbs with their three armored vehicles?,” Milanović wondered in an ironic comment, insisting that not enough weapons existed for anyone to spark an armed conflict.
He announced a phone call to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg for Tuesday afternoon so as to inform him of what is going on in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Last week, the Croatian president sent a letter about this issue to Stoltenberg.
Milanović accused Prime Minister Andrej Plenković of boycotting his proposal to hold a session of the National Security Council to discuss the state of affairs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hina news agency reports.
