Prime Minister of the Republic of Srpska Savo Minić stated today in Boljanić near Doboj that this location testified to the ideal of freedom, a value that is and always has been priceless to the Serbian people.

Speaking at the ceremony marking the 82nd anniversary of "Halyard" (Air Bridge) Operation during WWII, Prime Minister Minić said that in those years, the Serbian people had been killed without a cause just a few kilometers away and that yet and despite this, Serbs were prepared to sacrifice themselves and everything they owned for the sake of freedom and their alliances.

"This flag has never been on the wrong side of history". Prime Minister Minić said and underlined the importance of the leader such as President Donald Trump who understands history.

"We remain committed to the history of the Serb people and our ideal of freedom to this day. I wonder if this event would even be commemorated if this location were in the Federation of BiH", Minić said. He added that it was up to us to restore relations with friends with whom we share a common history and to preserve a friendship that lies on brotherhood and the bond created for which the Serbs were ready to give their lives and for those they regarded as brothers in arms.

The Prime Minister said that Serbia and the Republic of Srpska were one which is supported by historical records.

"I want us to send a clear message from this place, it is of utmost importance for us to build relationships with all our friends who uphold sincere commitment to freedom, anti-fascism and the struggle against Nazism and all forms of evil", the Prime Minister said and reiterated that the Serbian people would never find themselves on the wrong side of history.
