Srpska's Minister of European Integration and International Cooperation Zlatan Klokić and Serbian Government's Minister without portfolio in charge of relations with the diaspora Đorđe Milićević established today in Banja Luka that the Republic of Srpska and Serbia would celebrate the Day of Serbian Unity, Freedom and the National Flag this year together in Vienna on 15 September.
Klokić said it was also agreed that Serbs from the Republic of Srpska take part in the organization of the Vidovdan Assembly, traditionally organized by the ministry headed by Milićević.
- Our goal is to take a more active part this year and to dedicate one segment to the participation of businessmen from the diaspora, and to organize such an event also in the Republic of Srpska - said Klokić.
He stated that organizing joint youth camps was also discussed, and that the Republic of Srpska's proposal was to have one organized in Višegrad.
Milićević said that the All-Serbian Assembly, organized on the initiative of the presidents of the Republic of Srpska and Serbia, Milorad Dodik and Aleksandar Vučić, was of great national importance, because the national interests of the Serbian people had been finally defined in the 21st century.
- An outcome of the All-Serbian Assembly is signing of a Memorandum between our two ministries to define mechanisms aimed at creating an even stronger bond between the motherland and Serbs outside the borders of Srpska and Serbia - said Milićević.
He believes that a lot has been done in this regard, but also on networking associations and umbrella organizations that bring together the Serbian people from the region and the world.
- We are discussing the potential of our compatriots living outside of Srpska and Serbia in the right way, and to use that human capital in the right sense, primarily for national interests - stated Milićević.
