The leader of the Bosnian Serbs accused Erdogan of inconsistency and double standards
Serbian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Milorad Dodik commented on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's intention to lobby the world for recognition of Kosovo's independence.
This was reported by Tanyug, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Speaking about Erdogan's statements, Dodik said that the Kosovo problem cannot be resolved by recognizing the independence of Kosovo, but only through dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina.
“No one from the outside can solve this problem, because the key to solving it lies in dialogue,” said a Serbian member of the BiH Presidency. – With all due respect to Erdogan, I note that Turkey must respect the reality in the region, and if it already thinks this way about Kosovo, why doesn’t it think the same about the Republika Srpska and does not support its separation from BiH so that we can all live peacefully, How are you good neighbors?
Dodik noted that Erdogan spoke about two countries in Cyprus (the Republic of Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, not recognized except by Turkey), adding that the decision about Cyprus should be decided exclusively by its residents - Greeks and Turks, and not by Erdogan.
“Accordingly, Erdogan must be consistent to the end, so he should strive to ensure that BiH is a confederation of three states,” concluded the Bosnian Serb leader.
