Vucic: Bosniaks, Serbs, Croats should build common trust

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic stated Wednesday that the situation in the Western Balkan region is "very fragile," adding that a lot of effort needs to be put in to preserve stability

"In such a situation there is no better answer than to build greater confidence between the Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats," Vucic told journalists after his meeting with members of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) in Belgrade.

"When everyone realizes there is no other policy except the closest and best possible relations, then we will be on the right path," he noted.

Asked about the attack against him during the commemoration of the victims of Srebrenica on July 11, Vucic said he has forgotten about it and is ready to look to the future of Serbia-BiH cooperation "in a friendly tone."

The prime minister also said he harbors no animosity towards Bosniak presidency member Bakir Izetbegovic, and that his hand of reconciliation remains outstretched.
