Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Željko Komšić reacted to today’s media reports that the soldiers of the Serbian Army marched through Prijedor on the occasion of the anniversary of the Battle of Kozrara.
Komšić said that it must be determined immediately who allowed the Serbian Army to enter the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“The first and basic question here is, who approved the entry of the Serbian army into Bosnia and Herzegovina? The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina did not do it. Did the Ministry of Defense do it? That must be determined immediately. If it was not the Ministry of Defense either, then it is a classic act of aggression “, said Komšić.
We also contacted the Minister of Defense of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Zukan Helez, in order to get a comment, but he did not answer the call, and until the publication of this text, he did not even respond to the inquiry we sent him.
It is important to note that, apart from Komšić, none of the domestic politicians have yet reacted to this event, even though it is a precedent in interstate relations. Also, if someone in charge gave permission for the Serbian Army to enter BiH, the public was not officially informed about it.
Let us remind you that this morning the Serbian Army paraded through Prijedor as part of the commemoration of the Battle of Kozara. This event was organized under the auspices of the Government of the RS, with the aim of highlighting the Serbian victims and the struggle of the Serbs against the Ustashas and fascists.
After marching through Prijedor, the army continued its parade towards Kozara, and as RTRS reports, the citizens of Prijedor greeted them with applause. The President of the RS, Milorad Dodik, also shared the contribution of RTRS with the comment: “Finally.”
