The president of the Republika Srpska entity, Milorad Dodik, reacted to comment by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Elmedin Konaković, regarding the statement of Israel’s ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Galit Peleg.
Dodik did not like his reaction, and he said that it was unacceptable for him that Konaković was expressing his views on behalf of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In his reaction, Dodik once again called the genocide committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina an alleged one, and called the aggression against our country a civil war.
“I cannot and will not understand that this is also being done, again, in an insidious way, qualifying the civil war in BiH as aggression. If it was not a civil war, and Muslims were the victims, as Konaković suggests, then the aggressors were Serbs from Trebinje, Zvornik , Rogatica or Banja Luka. The story about the alleged genocide and the suffering of Bosniaks in the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina aims to falsify historical facts, one of which says that around 30,000 Serbs died in that war, which Konaković keeps silent about,” Dodik told Srna news agency.
He stated that he has nothing against Konaković arguing with anyone, but that he cannot, as he states, distort historical facts.
“Sarajevo is not the European Jerusalem, it is an almost ethnically cleansed city in which the Orthodox and Catholic churches and synagogues serve as facilities for deceiving naive tourists who spend a day in Sarajevo in ignorance. Sarajevo is a city from which 150,000 Serbs were expelled and which is predominantly inhabited by Muslim Bosniaks, and the image of multi-ethnicity is given to them by the members of the diplomatic corps, who are admittedly not residents, but stay there,” said Dodik, Klix.ba reports.
