RS and Serbia Establish Day of Remembrance – Bosnia Today

During a joint session of the governments of Republika Srpska and Serbia on Friday, leaders voted to establish August 5 as a day of remembrance for Serbs killed and displaced in wartime.

Addressing a news conference, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said that the day “will be marked jointly as will be the case with Vidovdan and Jasenovac Breakthrough Day.”

He stressed that “Serbia respects the integrity of Bosnia-Herzegovina, but that it is ready to be – in line with the Agreement on Special Relations with the Republika Srpska – the place the RS can depend on if it has problems for any reason.”

The two governments also signed a memorandum on cooperation in transport and transport infrastructure, and a protocol harmonizing positions on expert exams and licensing in the area of construction and spatial planning.
