Ashdown noted that if NATO rejects BiH a third time over the same issue in April, he will not only recommend that NATO adopt a "three strikes and you're out" stance towards the country, but he also hinted that he would severely constrain RS.
Ešdaun je rekao da, ukoliko NATO odbije BiH iz istog razloga po treći put u aprilu iduće godine, on neće preporučiti da NATO prema Bosni usvoji pristup u stilu “treći put ispadaš”, ali je takođe nagovestio da će ozbiljno “pritisnuti” RS.
