BiH presidency member supports China in maintaining peace in HK

Milorad Dodik, a member of Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH) presidency, said that he "fully understands and supports China in its efforts to maintain peace and stability in Hong Kong".

China uses the means that are commonly used by all other countries to maintain stability and safeguard territorial integrity, Dodik told BiH's Radio-Television of Republika Srpska on Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported.

"I am convinced that China will be able to protect its interests and that the situation in Hong Kong will be normalized," Dodik said.

Noting that China regained sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997, he said that China "has undoubtedly right to preserve that sovereignty now."
