The Prime Minister of Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity Radovan Viskovic said Thursday that, seven days before the deadline, the RS Government fulfilled its obligations and repaid 336 million Bosnian marks (some €171 million) for the bonds raised on the Vienna Stock Exchange in 2018.

“I want to inform the public that we have received official confirmation from Vienna that the money is already on their accounts – 336 million marks. Today is June 22, which means that the RS Government has fulfilled its obligations seven days ahead of schedule,” Viskovic told Srna.

He recalled that there was a lot of speculation about the RS not having the capacity to pay off its obligations, while, some even predicted that it would go bankrupt on June 28, i.e. that it would not be able to repay the bonds raised in 2018, on the Vienna Stock Exchange.

The RS Prime Minister pointed out that the entity Government will fulfil all budget obligations in the coming period without any delay.
