The President of the Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik said that a referendum on the independence of the Republika Srpska from Bosnia and Herzegovina will be held, and its date has yet to be determined.
”There is a decision on separation, but no specific date has been set yet. A lot of analysis needs to be done. We would like it now, but, apart from us, there are two other parties in the process. This, of course, takes time,” said Dodik in an interview with TASS on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
He said that the process of negotiations on disassociation is ahead.
“We are convinced that there is already enough historical and civilizational maturity that it is necessary and will happen,” pointed out Dodik.
According to him, if the Republika Srpska were to remain part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, it would be a waste of time and opportunity, and that is why it is necessary to achieve what the RS wants as soon as possible in order to stop wasting resources in vain hoping that Bosnia and Herzegovina will do something.
“We do not want to create instability on the territory of our country, that is why, first of all, we proposed to BiH to separate and move in that direction,” said Dodik.
