President Radojicic informed his interlocutors about the standpoints of the Republic of Srpska as regards current issues in the country, and especially international presence and the role of the High Representative. President Radojicic asserted that there is a need to transform the OHR soon after the October elections in B&H, so the new elected domestic bodies in full capacity could take over initiative and obligations for the benefit of the country. At the same time, the parties in talk analysed the fulfilment of the given goals and tasks before the forthcoming meeting of the Peace Implementation Council in Bosnia and Herzegovina takes place. A special discussion was led on the position of B&H at the Security Council of the UN, and a need to be acted in accordance to the points defined in accordance to the Constitution, under the competence of collective decision-making at the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

In a talk with the Russian Ambassador Mr. Churkin, both sides expressed their agreement that should any constitutional changes occur, and before all the implementation of the decision of the European Court in Strasbourg, in the case Sejdic-Finci, they have to represent a result of domestic agreement and compromise. In a talk with the American Ambassador Ms. Anderson, of special emphasis was the role of B&H in taking part in decision-making at the UN Security Council when it comes to crisis spots accros the globe, and a need of having a harmonised standpoint within B&H. In a talk with the Chinese Ambassador Mr. Baodong, the parties emphasised possibilities of intensifying mutual communication, both political, following a number of visits by the officials of the Republic of Srpska to China, and economic, where there exist possibilities and an interest of the Republic of Srpska for a development of co-operation.
