DODIK: SLOVENIA HAS NO RESPONSIBILITY WHEN IT COMES TO BiH

BANJA LUKA, September 5 /SRNA/ - Peace has prevailed in BiH for 30 years, so it is pointless and unnecessary for Slovenia's defense minister to worry about preserving peace in BiH, President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik said today.

"Slovenia has no responsibility when it comes to BiH; responsibility lies with its peoples and the leaderships elected by those peoples," Dodik stressed. Instead of minding its own affairs, Dodik said, Slovenia wants to interfere in the relations of other countries. "When Slovenia in the past wanted to impose its will, we all know how that ended," Dodik posted on X. Earlier today, Slovenia and Croatia signed a declaration on military cooperation in Zagreb, aimed at ensuring that the armed forces and defense industries of the two countries "function better and more effectively." Slovenian Defense Minister Borut Sajovic stated that Zagreb and Ljubljana have a "great responsibility" in the Western Balkans, particularly in maintaining peace in Kosovo and Metohija and in BiH.
