The President of Republika Srpska (RS), Milorad Dodik, said that the reaction of the Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs to his statement on a unified state shows that individuals in Montenegro believe that they have a deed to the will of the majority and that this majority is a priori against unification.
It should be recalled that Dodik said two days ago that Serbs in this century should “form a single state, consisting of Serbia, RS, and Montenegro, through democratic means and political measures, not through war and leave it to future generations”.
After this statement, the Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that Montenegro is an independent and internationally recognized country, a member of NATO, focused on the European future, and not, as they say, on retrograde ideas.
Now Dodik reacted again.
“It would be interesting to check the will of the citizens of Montenegro, but not in Lajcak’s referendum, but in a democratic referendum, even at this moment, and what such a referendum could show in 50 or 100 years,” said the President of the RS when asked to comment on the reaction of the Montenegrin Ministry of Foreign Affairs to his statement that the Serbs in this century should form a single state consisting of Serbia, RS and Montenegro.
The President of RS emphasized that Serbia, Montenegro, and today’s RS have the experience of living in a common state.
“When I say that it would be good to include the possibility of reunification in the hundred-year national plan, I do not mean a forced unification, but the freely expressed will of the citizens of those countries,” Dodik explained, N1 reports.
