"Dodik introduced me to RS's attempts to preserve its rights and obligations from the Dayton Agreement. It is the essence of the functioning of BiH and we will always support what is agreed upon by all three constituent nations," said Serbian President Aleksandar Vui.

Bosniak leaders on Wednesday accused Bosnian Serb officials - who have stopped work on deciding any state-level matters, pending adoption of a new law on the Constitutional Court - of breaking the law.

The government of Republika Srpska, the Serbian-dominated entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, has authorised the Ministry of Education and Culture in the entity on Friday to sign an agreement on the provision of Chinese classes with the Confucius Institute in Beijing

On this day in 1992, the Assembly of the Serb People of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) established the Serb Republic - which became one of the two entities in BiH after the end of the war there in 1995.

Around hundred people gathered on Monday in Banja Luka, the administrative centre of the Bosnia's mainly Serbian entity, Republika Srpska, for the consecration of a new Russian church and cultural centre, which are being built in the centre of the city.

Banja Luka is the largest town in the Serb Republic (RS), the Serb entity in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

"There is some border there, that is temporary. RS President Milorad Dodik will, together with all of us, make en effort to erase it. That's not nationalism, but European integration," Predrag Markovic said in Banja Luka, addressing a congress of the Socialist Party (SP) of the RS.

As Bosnia's politicians prepare for parliamentary and presidential elections in October this year, many of them are wooing voters with promises of big pay hikes.

The government of Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity, Republika Srpska, RS, has said it will take measures to increase salaries in the entity, with strong support from the RS President, Milorad Dodik.

Dacic in this way commented on RS President Milorad Dodik's statement that the RS and Serbia will become united.

Serbia, the minister continued, "respects the territorial integrity of Bosnia-Herzegovina and, of course, has special ties with the RS."

But, the president continued on Tuesday, he "doesn't expect particularly good news for our country."

Brnabic immediately met with RS President Milorad Dodik and RS Prime Minister Zeljka Cvijanovic.

The meeting was also attended by RS ministers of industry and energy, and of spatial planning, construction, and ecology.

While in Banja Luka, Brnabic will also attend the ceremony to promote and declare open the Eko Toplana heating plant, and meet with Mayor Igor Radojicic.
