Nikolic hinders Vucic in case of Bosnia, too

Serbia President Tomislav Nikolic is continuing confusing the EU as regards the Serbian foreign policy. His latest statements about Bosnia/Herzegovina are contrary to messages that remained after Prime Minister Vucic's visit to Sarajevo.

"Serbia is guarantor of Dayton agreement"

BANJA LUKA -- Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić said that Serbia is a guarantor of the Dayton agreement, which entails the preservation of Bosnia's Serb entity, the RS.

Nikolić also noted he had "exceptionally positive cooperation with the RS leadership and President Milorad Dodik."

The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, has accused Bosnia's mainly Bosniak and Croat Federation entity of seizing more donations for flood relief than it was entitled to.

Dodik said the issue of forming a solidarity fund at state level in Bosnia and Herzegovina had become stuck - and he rejected the idea of simply dividing the donations by half.

Two weeks after Vucic took office as Prime Minister on April 27, he will pay a one-day visit to Sarajevo on Tuesday where he is due to meet Vjekoslav Bevanda, head of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and members of the country's Presidency.

Ahead of the trip, Vucic cited three reasons why he had chosen Bosnia for his first official visit abroad.

As a gesture of gratitude to former Pope John Paul II, recently procaimed a saint, a statue of the Catholic leader was unveiled in Sarajevo on April 30 to the delight of Bosnian Catholics and many other interested citizens in the mainly Muslim city.

The statue, made from a type of alumimium, represents the former Pontiff in an attitude of prayer.

The City Council of Sarajevo has withdrawn its decision, made in February, to make Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandic an honorary citizen of the Bosnian capital owing to his recent statements backing a third, Croatian entity for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Deputy Sarajevo Mayor Aljosa Campara said he hoped the decision would not harm relations between Sarajevo and Zagreb.
