After today's meeting between Prime Minister Zdravko Krivokapić and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) Zoran Tegeltije, it was announced that the highest priority of the two countries is good economic cooperation.

Krivokapić said that he was glad that the first bilateral visit within the region was to Sarajevo, given that he fondly remembers his earlier visits to the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"During the Olympic Games, I had the opportunity to get to know Sarajevo. I entered a bar and got a drink without knowing who sent it to me. Such Sarajevo remained close to my heart and I talk about and share that experience at every step," he said. he, reports Klix.ba.

He went on to say that he and Tegeltija talked about two of the most priority things at the moment, namely fixing the road through Šćepan Polje, and facilitating the flow of goods and people through joint border crossings.

Krivokapić particularly expressed satisfaction with the fact that there are no disputed issues between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro, and invited BH. citizens to vacation on the Montenegrin coast.

Speaking about the Resolution on the genocide in Srebrenica, which should be adopted by the Assembly of Montenegro, he said that he does not know whether it will actually be adopted because the Government he leads has no influence on the decisions of the Assembly.

"That Resolution was partly already adopted in 2009 as a Declaration. Don't blame me, I have to say, the worst thing that is happening in this region is that those victims who are irreparable for the family are being used again for political purposes today," he said. .

He also mentioned the resignation of the Minister of Justice of Montenegro, Vladimir Leposavic, which he initiated because of his statements denying the genocide in Srebrenica.

"My attitude towards Srebrenica is clear, because of Srebrenica I started the process of dismissing a minister even though I knew it could be an attempt to overthrow the government, but the agreement I signed with the three leaders of the coalition was more important to me than how long the government would last." Krivokapić pointed out.

He then emphasized that reconciliation is more important for us than any quarrel.

"Looks of hatred do not speak well for anyone, the only message is a message of love," he said after today's meeting and journalists' questions about the Resolution.

When asked by a journalist from Klix.ba, he points out that his arrival is not related to the fact that the Resolution should be discussed in the Parliament of Montenegro today, saying that he does not calculate such things.

Tegeltija, the Government said, thanked Krivokapić for the visit and expressed his satisfaction that the Prime Minister of Montenegro chose to visit the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina and to familiarize himself with its interior design.

"Since diplomatic relations in 2006, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina have had good and friendly relations without open issues, and only with Montenegro do we not have a problem regarding the border," said Tegeltija.

Tegeltija said that he was looking forward to the improvement of economic and regional cooperation.
