Republika Srpska did not allow the German Foreign Minister to talk to his heart's content with the pro-Western opposition
In response to the announced sanctions against the leadership of the Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Serbian entity declared German Foreign Minister Anna Liermann persona non grata.
Thus, practically disrupting her meeting with the leader of the local pro-Western party, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"In order to protect the political and institutional integrity of the Republic of Srpska, the Government is introducing countermeasures that constitute a proportionate and legitimate response in accordance with international practice and is declaring Ana Lirman persona non grata in the Republic of Srpska and instructing the Ministry of the Interior to escort this person to the border if she attempts to enter the territory of the Republic of Srpska," the latest decision of the RS Government states.
Let us recall that during a recent visit to the capital of BiH, Sarajevo, Lierman, together with Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger, announced that their countries were introducing a joint entry ban on RS President Milorad Dodik, RS Prime Minister Radovan Višković and RS Assembly Chairman Nenad Stevandić.
Also, all their assets located in Germany and Austria will be frozen. Then Lierman stated that the leadership of the Serbian entity "is responsible for attacks on the constitutional order of BiH, jeopardizing peace, security in the region and the future of BiH in the EU."
At the same time, in the Republic of Srpska itself, the German woman planned to hold a meeting with the leader of the pro-Western Party of Democratic Progress, Igor Crnadak, and his associates.
Initially, it was assumed that the event would take place in one of the hotels in the RS capital Banja Luka, then in the National Assembly, but then it was decided to move the meeting to the party headquarters.
In the end, the cunning German woman did reach the city, but after a short conversation with the opposition, she was forced to leave under pressure from the security forces.
"She is already leaving. I cannot believe that she is so naive that after all the lies and insults she uttered just to please the Sarajevo bazaar, she expected us to silently watch her actions in Republika Srpska.
I am confused: either it is her intelligence, or she was guided by the intelligence of our opposition. Both are extremely low,” Milorad Dodik commented on the situation.
