The problem arose in early 2015 when he sought the Presidency of the Council of Ministers to redefine its negotiations with the EU. Within the working group discussions were held, and our attitudes have not been respected. The Council of Ministers has accepted the SAA and sent it to the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina to conclude tomorrow. Clear have put the chambers of commerce and agricultural producers. RS opinion should be respected. Negotiators were brought in later this week - said Dodik.

This is good for Croatia, which is pressured to adapt to an agreement and that it gets a new market in BiH.Pitanje list has not changed our position, from the beginning we were against such an SAA. There is no need to talk about anything until it is withdrawn shameful decision on the list, even with the EU. Europe does not deserve to accept something that will bury us - said Dodik.
