The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, from my perspective and thanks to the poor reaction of what we euphemistically call the international community, is slowly but surely getting out of control, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today in an address to the media from Bulgaria.
“It is clear that Bosniaks see this as their opportunity, because they have the enormous protection of Western powers as an opportunity for the second half and the removal of forces as a disruptive factor, although they will not tell you this, but essentially they want the abolition of Republika Srpska with all its competencies and prerogatives of government,” Vučić said.
Vučić added that he was concerned that in talks with officials from the European Union, NATO and some Western countries he realized that no one wanted compromise solutions, but a “showdown” with Dodik.
“In any case, it is a difficult time for our people, a great burden on the shoulders of our people. Yesterday’s decisions by Austria and Germany to ban Milorad Dodik from entering will be followed by many other countries, and this only complicates things instead of starting to resolve them,” Vučić said.
Expressing concern and fear of “irresponsible and frightening statements”, Vučić hopes that there will be wisdom to improve the situation.
Vučić is on a two-day visit to Bulgaria, during which he is participating in a meeting of heads of state and government within the framework of the Akaba Process dedicated to the Balkans.
In his address to the media, he also said that Serbia will not participate in the persecution, arrest or anything similar against Dodik, and that he is proud of that.
“Shame on the faces and cheeks of those who are so afraid for their lower backs that they are capable of doing anything against their homeland and their people, always finding Leibnizian sufficient reasons for the atrocities they commit,” said Vučić in Sofia when asked to comment on regional media reports that the Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade had initiated proceedings against Dodik in the case of purchasing a villa in Dedinje.
Vučić said that he did not want to comment on the work of the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime, but that it was interesting that the request for questioning Milorad Dodik on the basis of so-called international legal assistance had arrived at this very moment.
