“Our two neighbors, through the ethnic communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to which they strive to claim every right, even twenty-seven years after the aggression they had carried out over Bosnia and Herzegovina, are in this manner, making an attack on the sovereignty of our country, which makes it almost completely impossible to have any democratic development of Bosnia and Herzegovina.”

“This practice also violates the minimum of interstate trust, because unfortunately, our neighbors are not investing sincere energy with the goal of building interstate cooperation, but are rather investing energy in weakening our state.”

“This is a visible problem, which extends to the entire region of the Western Balkans, where there are different ideas, plans and intentions to change the internationally recognized borders, to reorganize the region into something that has no point of contact with democracy.”

“I am aware of the existence of those other parts of the international community, which, for their geopolitical reasons, will offer resistance in order to keep Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the entire region of the Western Balkans, in a continuous state of destabilization and tension. Such people do not want democracy, but ethnocracy, disorder and violence.”
