The play has been played, and the audience is known. Support for Dodik in front of the building of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Announced as veterans’ associations from the RS, but judging by the picture, they are more party colleagues, mayors, chiefs, directors, public officials, ministers and all those to whom Dodik and SNSD gave a chair and position. More precisely, those who receive salaries from the state apparatus thanks to the party headed by Milorad Dodik.
Thus, in addition to the few representatives of the veterans’ associations from the RS, the more numerous fighters were the others. Those who fight for survival on the budget of state institutions. Always with Dodik, for better or for worse, according to the known matrix. First in front of the building, then in the courtroom. But there are no cameras. Support from several filled courtrooms. Ovations for the defense and the suspect, whistles for the prosecutors in question, the judge and foreigners.
“Another scam directed by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I expect the larceny to end as soon as possible. Let’s end this because this definitely threatens the security of Bosnia and Herzegovina, threatens the survival of Bosnia and Herzegovina”, commented Nenad Nešić, Minister of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina of Bosnia and Herzegovina or Republika Srpska – they themselves are no longer safe. So they expanded the trial of Dodik and Lukić,” from the trial of all people in the RS and this entity to the trial of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Constitution.
“This is the trial of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this is the trial of democracy, sovereignty, this is a protectorate. I expect this court to indict all RS officials because they do not respect Christian Schmidt”, said Radovan Višković, Prime Minister of the RS.
“This is the trial of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, this is the trial of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the political manifestation that the president of the RS appears here and it was initiated by those who do not want the good of Bosnia and Herzegovina”, added Željka Cvijanović, a member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina Herzegovina.
They defend the state and the Constitution depending on their interests, they regularly receive salaries without defending the interests of all the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, because it is precisely because of their blockades that reform laws are pending.
“The rigged political process of President Dodik, who was legitimately elected, will certainly have certain consequences on the work of the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” said Staša Košarac, Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In this spirit, we remind you that State Minister Košarac receives a salary of 5,881 BAM from the budget of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina for this position, and his colleagues receive the same amount on average. That’s why the unconditional support is not surprising. They forget that at the end of the story, the main sponsors are the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The first hearing of Milorad Dodik and Miloš Lukić was quickly completed or interrupted due to the request of the defense to move the trial to Banja Luka.
Dodik said after the hearing that it was a political process.
“He was challenged by the fact that a non-existent foreigner formally imposes laws, which is an attack on the sovereignty of BiH. This shows the weaknesses of the BiH system, not my fault,” said Dodik.
He said that his lawyers, as they announced, requested that the trial be transferred to Banja Luka.
“My team filed a request to move the trial to Banja Luka, according to that interpretation, it is competent there. Our first request was rejected, but we have a three-day appeal period. And now it has been said that it cannot even begin because that decision is prejudiced and affects the appeals process,” he said.
He pointed out that the judge was fair, Raport writes.
The start of the trial of the President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik and Acting Director of the Official Messenger of the RS Miloš Lukić due to non-execution of the decisions of the High Representative, which was supposed to be held today in the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was postponed.
The defense of Dodik and Lukić requested that the trial be postponed, and they announced an appeal.
They stated that they had an obligation to react, and that they requested the transfer of jurisdiction to the entity-level judiciary, but that request was rejected, and that they have the right to appeal.
As they stated, they believe that the conditions for the start of the main trial have not been met.
After the hearing, Dodik stated that the hearing did not start because the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina rejected the request of the defense to transfer the proceedings to the Basic Court in Banja Luka, but the defense has a deadline of three days to file an appeal, and the main trial cannot begin during that period.
