(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, SEPTEMBER 16 - The resolution and the
long-term program approved last Saturday by the 7th congress of
the largest Bosnian Muslim party, SDA, sparks row among the
Republika Srpska political forces (RS, the Serb-majority entity
in Bosnia). The statement aims to establish the Republic of
Bosnia and Herzegovina with no partition into entities, just
like it was before the 1992-95 war, and with Sarajevo as
administration hub as big as the entire city, just like it used
to be before the war.
According to Milorad Dodik, a Serbian member of the Bosnian
tripartite presidency, the document is unconstitutional and
sounds like a save-the-date for the war. The centralization of
the "Bosnian Republic", the abolition of the RS and the
introduction of the Bosnian language for all - long-term
objectives in the SDA document - are against, said Dodik, the
interests of the Serbs. "We have our Republika Srpska - the
Bosnian Serb leader said - and Muslims can do theirs in the five
cantons where they are the majority but cannot even count on an
inch of the RS". (ANSA).
