Serb National Alliance

BELGRADE - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday his meeting with Patriarch Porfirije of the Serbian Orthodox Church and Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik earlier in the day had addressed all crucial national affairs for Serbs and that joint meetings in Republika Srpska had been agreed for the near future.

Milorad Dodik, the Serb member of Bosnia's tripartite presidency and head of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, the ruling party in Republika Srpska, has come under criticism after suggesting that religious officials' salaries should be paid by the entity.

An updated central national register of wartime missing persons in Bosnia is to be published soon, but the country’s Serb-dominated entity Republika Srpska wants it to include each person’s ethnicity.

Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Friday that Belgrade wants to maintain its special relationship with the Bosnian Serb entity, announcing the release soon of a joint "Declaration on the Survival of the Serbian Nation."
