The Serb member of the Presidency of BiH, \u017deljka Cvijanovi\u0107, said at the panel “National Sovereignty and Foreign Migration” in Washington that Republika Srpska has never had migrant camps, emphasizing that this demonstrated responsibility toward its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You already have challenges in every society. Why would you add something similar? This is the way we fought against it,” Cvijanovi\u0107 pointed out at the panel “National Sovereignty and Foreign Migration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a video posted on the social network X, she pointed out that Republika Srpska, which makes up 49 percent of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has never accepted nor organized migrant camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“But there are some problems when talking about Brussels, their approach was that we should all be well-mannered, that we should be nice hosts and that we should actually show our big heart,” Cvijanovi\u0107 stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She emphasized that it is not about showing a big heart, but about showing responsibility toward one\u2019s own people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Because your people elected you, you are accountable to your people. You want to have strong institutions and you want to prove that these are strong institutions. That is how we dealt with it,” Cvijanovi\u0107 stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
