Igor Crnadak

The Russian foreign minister met earlier with the tripartite Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), and on that occasion also made it clear that he is against the demonization of the Serb Republic (RS) - the Serb entity.

Lavrov will meet with Igor Crnadak, and will also be welcomed by members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Lavrov and Crnadak should also sign a Consultation Plan between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation for the period 2019/2020.

Sergey Lavrov will come to Sarajevo on September 21, not on Sunday as planned, Bosnia's Foreign Minister Igor Crnadak told FENA news agency on Thursday evening.

Crnadak explained that the Russian Foreign Minister told him that he postponed the visit due to unexpected changes in his schedule.

Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik has said the announced visit of Kosovo Foreign Minister Pacolli to Banja Luka - for Wednesday's gathering of foreign ministers of member states of the South East European Cooperation Process, SEECP - is not acceptable.

Bosnia-Herzegovina has not recognized Kosovo and the issue will not be "opened and treated" during the current government's mandate.

This has been stated by the minister of foreign affairs of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Igor Crnadak, who also denied that "in the coming period" one of the topics on the agenda of the Council of Ministers would be "abolition of visas for citizens of Kosovo."
