The Croat member of Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency, Zeljko Komsic, said that he left a recent online meeting with EU High Representative, Josep Borrell, because his colleague in the Presidency, Milorad Dodik, was talking about BiH "in a primitive way" and presenting things that are not true to the EU official.

In the online meeting, Bosnia’s three Presidency members discussed numerous topics with Borrell, including the pandemic, vaccine procurement, and the recently published controversial alleged non-paper which caused an uproar as it proposes redrawing borders in the Western Balkans.

At a certain point, Komsic left the meeting.

“Dodik denies the genocide, denies the state where he is the Chairman of the Presidency, talks about ‘peaceful separation’, insults people on a personal basis, etc. and sometimes the only way to resist his primitivism is to keep from falling into it,” Komsic told the public broadcaster in Bosnia's Federation (FBiH) entity.

He said Dodik presented his points on Bosnia and Herzegovina to EU officials “in a primitive way” and accused him of arrogance and lying.

“So should one respond to it? If you respond, you run the risk of provoking an argument in front of the foreigners, which is then uncomfortable and disgraceful not only for Dodik but for the entire Presidency,” Komsic said.

Komsic said him leaving the meeting was also meant to serve as a message to foreign officials.

“They do not react to some things that concern this country,” he said, criticising them for not reacting to Dodik’s statements which advocate for the dissolution of Bosnia.

“If our international friends want to listen to such a Dodik, there he is, let them listen to him,” Komsic said.
