Republika Srpska refused to provide these to U.S. internal security agencies.
The relevant decision was adopted by all factions of the RS Parliament, thus supporting the position of the Serb representative in the Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency, Milorad Dodik.
Previously, the U.S. intelligence agencies had intended to obtain a data transfer agreement from Sarajevo regarding the displacement of citizens. However, as stated in the RS Parliament resolution, the agreement “does not reflect either the Bosnia and Herzegovina constitutional structure or the Republika Srpska constitutional and legal powers”.
“We do not seek to oppose the United States”, – said Milorad Dodik. – “Nevertheless, we cannot support anything outside the framework of the Constitution, the interests of Republika Srpska, or the competences of our structures”.
The politician explained this position by the fact that the United States, like other Western countries, “is on the opposite side”.
