Nenad Stevandic

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday he had had an excellent discussion with Republika Srpska Parliament Speaker Nenad Stevandic.

"Cooperation between Serbia and Srpska at all levels is a priority for the survival and progress of the Serbian nation," Vucic wrote in an Instagram post.

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, Parliament Speaker Ana Brnabic and FM Ivica Dacic met on Thursday in Belgrade with Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik, the Serb member of the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Zeljka Cvijanovic and the Speaker of the Republika Srpska National Assembly Nenad Stevandic.

The National Assembly in the Serb-dominated Republika Srpska Entity adopted amendments to the Law on Publishing Laws and Other Regulations on Wednesday evening to stop publishing decisions by the Office of the High Representative to Bosnia and Herzegovina in the entity's Official Gazette, which would render them invalid.

According to Novosti, the law could be submitted in the BiH Parliament in early February.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's Constitutional Court has rejected an appeal from the Attorney's Office of Republika Srpska, Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity - ruling that the state, and not the entity, owns military facilities on the Veliki Zep mountain near the town of Han Pijesak.

The Constitutional Court's ruling is final, but political leaders in Republika Srpska have vowed to ignore it.

Sonja Karadzic-Jovicevic, who is already a MP in the Republika Srpska entity's parliament, has been tipped for its vice-presidency by the Serb Democratic Party, SDS, which was founded by her father.
