Milorad Dodik, president of Republika Srpska (RS) and leader of SNSD, said at yesterday’s press conference that nothing will be the same in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) from August 22nd.
He mentioned the issue of property as a key issue.
“It’s a question of statehood. If you have property, you have a state. Property is an issue that will not be resolved as they predict, that’s why they started with laws that forbid opposition to the decisions of Christian Schmidt. Well, we’ll see. Schmidt said that I was misinterpreting Dayton. I don’t interpret it, I read it,” he pointed out.
Moreover, Dodik lashed out at the international community.
“I am telling everyone that I am ready for a fight, both a legal and a political fight. If they want a political fight to the end – they will have it. And the end will not be according to the will of those from Circle 99 and various Sarajevo supporters who want to see the RS defeated. Schmidt’s laws will have to be repealed. I’m not asking for that in my case, but all future work we do will have to be conditioned by that issue. If there is no such decision at the BiH level that a foreigner cannot impose laws in BiH, and they cannot accept that, they will have a political fight,” said Dodik.
Then he announced a meeting with the leaders of the ruling parties at the state level. The same day is the session of the BiH House of Representatives.
“There are items on the agenda that were previously on the agenda of the Parliament. The laws that will be adopted will have our support. But after that session on August 22nd, everything will be different in BiH, nothing will be the same. If someone in this country wants to say that they want to live without half the country, without 33 percent of the political capacity in decisions, then let them say it, but they will bear the consequences, not only us. We don’t want to live in a country where decisions are made by a foreigner, who is not appointed, who lies, messes up, and acts like a hero… Imagine what a relief it was for him when the Secretary of the United Nations (UN) is asked if someone has been appointed as a High Representative by a relevant resolution, but he has no answer. However, the speculators then add one sentence that he clings to,” Dodik concluded, N1 reports.
