The President of the Republika Srpska (RS) Milorad Dodik denied that Serbs were behind the crime at Sarajevo’s Markale market, announced secession and the expulsion of a high representative from this entity that he called a state, and at the meeting of the “Defend Srpska” movement, held in Banja Luka’s Banski Dvor, where greetings of the convicted Ratko Mladicwere conveyed, said that “Muslims should stay at home”.
Milorad Dodik, who spoke as a guest at the forum “Endangered Srpska – a decisive response” held on Tuesday, April 2nd, said that ”the Serbian side has been falsely accused” for the crime in Markale and that “many American officials made careers on that lie“.
It was previously written about the denial of crimes in Markale. In two massacres, more than 110 people were killed and more than 200 civilians were wounded at Sarajevo’s Markale market, which was confirmed in at least four judgments of the Hague Tribunal.
During the commemoration of the 29th anniversary of the Markale massacre, Dodik said earlier that this crime was described with lies and that Serbs were falsely accused of it twice.
At the meeting in Banja Luka, he also said that the story about Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, as criminals, is a “planned agenda directed against the Serbs”.
“Part of all those things that go to say that Karadzic and Mladic and the rest are criminals – it’s absolutely part of the script. There is no evidence for that. They were convicted on the basis of a collective enterprise designed for the Serbs. Joint criminal criminal enterprise. That doesn’t exist, it was done against the Serbs for the first time,” said the president of RS on April 2nd.
The International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals(IMCM) sentenced Mladic, former commander of the Army of RS (VRS), and Karadzic, former president of RS, to life imprisonment for the genocide in Srebrenica, persecution of Bosniaks and Croats, terrorizing the citizens of Sarajevo and taking members of UNPROFOR -a for hostages.
At the gathering, it was said that Mladic sent a letter throughVlado Dzajic, director of the University Clinical Center of the RS and president of the SNSD-Banja Luka city committee when there was a visit with the medical team who assessed his health while serving his sentence. In the letter, he greeted his comrades.
“Muslims would be better off staying home. Dzaja knows [Vlado Dzajic]. When you were with Mladic, what did you ask him?” said Dodik, who previously spoke about conflicts, including with NATO.
The rally “Endangered Srpska – a decisive response” is one of a series of numerous rallies that have been held in Banja Luka and other cities of RS for the past month, organized by various “patriotic” organizations, Detektor reports.
