We expect the Pan-Serbian Assembly to yield continuation of good cooperation and confirmation of our unity, said the Serb Member of the BiH Presidency, Željka Cvijanović.

Cvijanović noted that ‘good relations are something we are already living and have experienced.’

– Naturally, we expect these relations to be increasingly better and meaningful. In the past years, they have already been filled in the best possible way. I think it will be a manifestation of exactly that – our unity and our commitment to work together and build our future – said Cvijanović.

Cvijanović noted that it is ‘our commitment to cooperate, but also a confirmation that we are actually people striving for the same goals, people with a shared history, belonging to the same nation and people who love and promote peace, cooperation, shared living, good relations with everyone in the region.’

– I think that is actually the main indicator. Naturally, we also have expectations regarding continuation of good cooperation on a concrete level, regarding implementation of various projects, infrastructure connectivity, connectivity through energy projects, connectivity in every possible way, in all possible areas ranging from sports, culture, or all that binds us – said Cvijanović.

Cvijanović stated that ‘such gatherings are very important.’

– I think these are complex times, and of course in such complex times you look for different forms to show that you are people who want to and can work together, who are focused on the same goals and who feel close to each other in a way that is only a natural connection, so nothing else. This is a pure idea based on pure love, pure brotherly relations, pure family relations and pure national relations. I must say that they happen with an open and full heart and that they are always a sign of our love that we have for each other and finally our commitment to keep it that way in the future. We also support each other, we share the same values, the same aspirations, I would say that we have the same fears concerning the future, but also the same wounds regarding the past – said Cvijanović.

Cvijanović noted that ‘we are connected in so many ways that we are a single organic tissue and this is something that will also manifest now.’

The Minister of Energy and Mining of the Republic of Srpska, Petar Đokić, said yesterday in Belgrade that the upcoming Pan-Serbian Assembly was not a threat to anyone, but only a manifestation of Serbian unity, Serbian harmony and even Serbian strength, which should be understood as such by everyone in the region.

Đokić noted that the Assembly, to be held on Saturday, 8 June, in Belgrade aimed to establish a new relationship of mutual communication between Serbia and Republic of Srpska and the way in which they would consider all important issues of interest for the Serbian people, but also for other nations living in Serbia and Srpska.

– With this assembly, we confirm our firm orientation to stay together, that in the future we will share both difficult and joyful moments and that we will have more coordination and more joint activities, which will lead to the prosperity of the Serbian people as a whole. This Assembly is building on all our previous activities we have had regarding cooperation between Serbia and Republic of Srpska. The Assembly creates a new dimension of our common relations and our shared future – stated Đokić.
