The President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, said that the Republika Srpska has the means to pay the obligations due at the end of June, that it is a false story that it is in a difficult situation, and said that the Republika Srpska will not have any financial problems.
Dodik emphasized that the Republika Srpska will carry out its obligations as foreseen by the budget and legislation, and added that attacks on that entity in terms of dramatizing the situation are nothing new and they are coordinated.
“What would these people from the American and British embassies and some European countries want? They would like us to become completely dependent on them and to be unable to defend ourselves against any of their evil intentions towards us,” Dodik told reporters in Banja Luka.
Dodik stated that they tried to do so by blocking certain funds that were provided through various transfers, but that this would not endanger the Republika Srpska.
“All the problems on the economic level to a considerable extent, of course there are also our weaknesses, come from the wrong policy led by the West, which generated completely inflationary and other movements at the global level, from the policy that aims to ensure that all transfers going to some countries they have to go through transaction accounts held by Western banks, which decide whether to release something, regardless of whether it’s your money,” Dodik added.
It is, as he said, a colonial situation, a colonial administration in which they want to discipline someone.
Dodik stated that at the end of June, the Republika Srpska has obligations of 320 million due in one day, and noted that the Republika Srpska offered to successively make this payment from the new year, but that it was not accepted because the stock exchanges do not follow these rules.
“We did the concentration and now we have that money in our accounts and we can finish it once,” added Dodik.
As for the International Monetary Fund, Dodik said that for years there has been no arrangement with that institution, which, as he stated, is trying to impose some of its policies here, such as reducing wages, which in such circumstances leads to destabilization, and not stabilization.
“In the meantime, foreign banks have taken more profit from here than they have helped,” said Dodik.
