The President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Srpska, Dr. Nenad Stevandic, met today in Belgrade with the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, Ana Brnabic.
After the meeting, Stevandic stated that they discussed regional stability and the relations between the Republic of Srpska and Serbia.
"As you know, many significant dates are ahead of us. In September, after the new Government of the Republic of Srpska is elected next week, there will be a joint session of the two governments in Belgrade. After that, on September 15th, we mark the Day of the Flag and Serbian Unity, which we also celebrate together. The presidents of Srpska and Serbia traditionally mark this occasion with speeches. I would also like to exclusively announce that on September 17th and 18th, we will have the autumn session of the Serbia-Srpska Parliamentary Forum, where members of both assemblies will have a two-day session in Banja Luka according to an agreed agenda," said President Stevandic.
He pointed out that in these difficult times, Serbia and Srpska are demonstrating that they rely on each other.
"We are grateful to the leadership of Serbia, President Aleksandar Vucic, Prime Minister Djuri Macut, President of the Assembly Ana Brnabic, as well as Milos Vucevic. For many years, all of them have shown not only empathy but also support, and together with us, they are leading a great legal battle to preserve the Republic of Srpska, its institutions, constitutional position, and resources. At the same time, we are the biggest and only advocates for peace in the Balkans. It is especially difficult for Serbia to do this today because they have had conflicts, riots, and blockades organized from within, for reasons that are completely inferior to the problems we face. We hope that this will end soon because a stable and strong Serbia and Srpska can more easily pave the way for the future and defend themselves in difficult times," Stevandic concluded.
