6/22 /There was not a single TV interview in which Stanivuković didn't deny the Srebrenica genocide when asked about it. He made himself clear that he refused to recognise the ICTY verdicts against Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić, the "butcher of Bosnia."/
Great day in #BanjaLuka with the Mayor Draško Stanivuković. We need more young people in politics and those who fight against corruption, captured institutions and bring fresh energy & its’ own ideas on the political scene in #RepublikaSrpska & #BiH. 🇧🇦🇪🇺

The arrival of Charles Michel raises questions about the objectivity of European officials in terms of approach in the process of passing the new Election Law, as Croatian officials are strongly lobbying for a reform that meets the interests of the HDZ.
5/12 Kosovo’s government says it will apply for membership in the European rights watchdog the Council of Europe, seizing an opportunity after Russia quit the body.”
