The President of Republika Srpska (RS) Milorad Dodik said yesterday in Mostar that it is more likely that High Representative Christian Schmidt will leave Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) than that Dodik will go to prison.
“It is more likely that Schmidt will leave BiH than that I will go to prison.,” Dodik said in a statement to the media ahead of the donor lunch for the renovation and completion of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Mostar.
He assessed that it is bad for BiH that a part of the International Community thinks that they can solve some things with interventionism.
In his statement, Dodik also lashed out at the United States (U.S.) ambassador to BiH, Michael Murphy, calling him conceited and overbearing.
“He thinks he is some kind of Messiah who came here to tell us what to do,” said Dodik.
“He is an ordinary liar, a swindler, who, by abusing his channels, tries to make the situation look bad even though it is not. It is bad only because there are people like Murphy who interfere in the internal affairs of this country,” he added.
Referring to the coordination meeting of the coalition partners in various BiH, HDZ BiH, SNSD, and the Coalition of the Three parties, which will be held today in Mostar, he said that problems need to be solved.
“What will be the epicenter of all discussions is the Constitutional Court and the electoral law. I think we will not be able to move forward until we resolve these two issues. This is not a threat, but it cannot happen that the problem is solved only for one side, while others are ignored,” he asserted.
In the end, he said that he would propose that the BiH Parliament pass a declaration on the sovereignty of BiH.
“That would mean that there would be neither a High Representative nor judges of the Constitutional Court… if you don’t want to, then admit that you are poltroons and subjects”, concluded the President of the RS.
