Vucic to Drvar residents: You can always count on Serbia

"We are here to help each other and we will always do that," said the president of Serbia

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic today told residents of Drvar, a Serb-majority municipality in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, FBiH (entity), that they can always count on Serbia and that nothing can be a border, because although we live in different countries, we always belong to the same, Serb people.

Speaking in front of the new Yumco factory, Vucic said that since the last time he visited the town five months ago, Serbia transferred 925,000 euros to the town's account, money earmarked for water supply and infrastructure.

He announced assistance to the Health Center, which he also toured today, both in rebuilding and in terms of salaries for its employees.

"We are here to help each other and we will always do that. You can count on Serbia. Just as much as we know that Drvar is with Serbia and how much it loves Serbia, we love you just as much," he said.

Serb Republic, RS (entity) Prime Minister Radovan Viskovic pointed out that, thanks to Serbia, the RS can help Drvar and the people there who are, he said, in a way satanized "by a government that should support its citizens."

"If the federal authorities are trying to punish even the RS by not giving us back what they should by law, I can imagine how they treat you, Serbs in the Federation of BiH," said Viskovic.

He told the residents of Drvar that they have not been forgotten, and that today's visit was proof of that.

"And you will never be forgotten. We see this place as all places in the RS, and we will treat it the same as all places in the RS," added Viskovic.

As he said, Vucic has made a lot of promises, but he believes that as a man who fulfills what he has promised, he will fulfill everything he said.

"Any help will improve the quality of life of people, and for those who left it will represent an outstretched hand to return to their own," added Viskovic.
