BOTH SCHMIDT AND KURTI - UNRECOGNIZED IN THE WORLDWIDE FRAMEWORK

SARAJEVO, DECEMBER 5/SRNA/ - The Mayor of Istočno Sarajevo Ljubiša Ćosić has said today that there is a sign of equality between the Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed Kosovo Albin Kurti and Christian Schmidt, because neither of them is recognized in the world's highest level, namely the UN.

"It's the same thing again that they are trying to politically introduce people who are not recognized by Bosnia and Herzegovina," Ćosić told journalists in Sarajevo, commenting on the invitation of the Association "Krug 99" to Kurti to attend tomorrow's session in Sarajevo. Ćosić stated that it would be a scandal if Kurti was received by one of the representatives of BiH institutions, and that his very arrival as the Prime Minister of self-proclaimed Kosovo is something that collapses BiH, which did not recognize the unilaterally declared independence of the southern Serbian province. "Therefore, Kurti can only come as a tourist," Ćosić said. The association of independent intellectuals "Krug 99" invited Kurti to attend the session that will be held tomorrow in Sarajevo, which caused fierce condemnations in Republika Srpska and Serbia.
