President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik said that Friday's talks of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey, Zlatko Lagumdzija and Ahmet Davutoglu, were typical interference in the internal matters of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Lagumdzija and Davutoglu discussed elections in Mostar and Srebrenica and BiH's membership in international institutions.
When it comes to BiH's membership in NATO, Dodik said that Republika Srpska will decide on the issue in a referendum.
Dodik said that Davutoglu is willing to talk exclusively about Bosniak or Muslim interests.
If I went to Turkey and talked about the Kurds and their problems in Turkey and demanded that their election procedures be changed, it would be the same, Dodik told reporters in Banja Luka.
The fact that Turkey thinks it is good for BiH to be a member of NATO is the opinion of that country, but it must heed the positions in BiH, including the RS, Dodik said.
Turkey has shown that it is ready to support only what Bosniaks want, not the authentic position of BiH, he said.
Dodik said that in joining NATO, one should also bear in mind Serbia's position on this issue.
Membership in NATO brings certain benefits, but the Serbs were bombed, in some places with depleted uranium, which demonstrated the attitude of member countries of NATO towards the Serbs in this region, Dodik said.
