KOŠARAC: HUNGARY IS FRIENDLY COUNTRY, AND HELEZ CANNOT PREVENT SZIJJARTO'S VISIT

SARAJEVO, NOVEMBER 26 /SRNA/ - Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers Staša Košarac stated that Hungary is a friendly country that respects the Dayton Agreement and BiH’s constitutional order, and that the populism of the Minister of Defense in the Council of Ministers, Zukan Helez, cannot prevent Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, from visiting Banja Luka.

Košarac emphasized that Helez’s refusal to grant permission for Szijjártó’s plane to land in Banja Luka is meaningless. "Helez is once again trying to flex his political muscles with cheap populism, from which literally no one gains anything. He cannot prevent the arrival of our dear friend Szijjártó," Košarac said. He pointed out that this is not the first time Helez has engaged in notorious nonsense, and it will probably not be the last. Košarac said that Hungary is a friendly country that respects the Dayton Agreement and BiH’s constitutional order, and that its officials are welcome in Republika Srpska. "We are proud of the excellent relations between Milorad Dodik and Viktor Orbán, which were confirmed at today’s meeting in Budapest. We look forward with pleasure to the visit of our friend Szijjártó to Banja Luka," Košarac wrote on Instagram. Košarac stated that Helez’s problem is that he fails to recognize that Hungary is a friendly country, well-disposed toward all peoples in BiH, and that its support is significant in the new global political circumstances. "He has sunk into hatred of everything bearing the Serbian prefix, to the point that even friends of the Serb people bother him," Košarac emphasized.
