"Kosovo recognition depends on RS - and so, it won't happen"

Member of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) Presidency Bakir Izetbegovic "does not respect BiH, Serbia's territorial integrity, and good relations with Serbia."

This is what the leader of the Serb entity in BiH, the Serb Republic (RS), Milorad Dodik said hours after media reported that Izetbegovic - who represents Bosniaks (Muslims) in the tripartite presidency - had told a German broadcaster that BiH would "recognize Kosovo as independent."
