Outgoing President Stjepan Mesić is urging Croatia to take action in the Republic of Srpska, a highly Serb populated area, to prevent it from seceding from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik has received advice to call for a referendum in the region to discuss issues in the RS. Stjepan Mesić has been called a war-mongerer for taking this stance but refutes this saying that the "real warmongers are those that are urging RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik to call a referendum" also that "the unity of Bosnia and Herzegovina must survive".
Stjepan Mesić's comments are said to have been made in an informal meeting with a journalist. However his comments have had a ripple effect all the way to a UN Security Council session.
Mesić is due to officially step down as president next week. After this Ivo Josipović will be inaugurated as Croatia's new president.
