The responsibility for the invitation of Kosovo Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli to visit Bosnia is either on Bosnia’s Foreign Minister Igor Crnadak or Bosnia’s Presidency member Mladen Ivanic, said Bosnia’s House of Representatives member Dusanka Majkic.
“There are two possibilities: either it was a joint decision of the Party of Democratic Progress (PDP – the party of Crnadak and Ivanic) that Pacolli should be allowed to attend the meeting, or Crnadak’s been travelling so much that he has no time to consult with anyone so he did it in a way that no one could object to his decision,” MP Majkic concluded.
Pacolli was invited to attend the informal meeting of foreign ministers of the South-East Europe Cooperation Process (SEECP) in Bosnia's north-western city of Banja Luka, but his presence was strongly objected by Milorad Dodik, President of Bosnia's Serb dominated entity, Republika Srpska (RS).
She assessed that Pacolli realised what was going on when the RS President objected his arrival so he cancelled the visit.
“The man understood what was going on, he realised who’s the man of the house and that was it,” she added.
Kosovo Foreign Minister, Behgjet Pacolli, cancelled his trip to Banja Luka, after “the threats and obstacles” he encountered following the invitation to attend a meeting of the regional foreign ministers in that Bosnia's city, the minister said on Tuesday.
