The President of Republika Srpska (RS) Milorad Dodik, testified today before the Hague Tribunal in the trial to former General of the Army of Republika Srpska Ratko Mladic, who is accused for committing serious war crimes and genocide in B&H in the period from 1992-1995.
“Right after the formation of the SDA, the tension was general. The formation of the HDZ and the SDS appeared as a reaction to the formation of the SDA, which was promoting radical Islam. These parties got 80 % of votes, and our party got around 12 %,” said Dodik.
He added that these parties formed a government and that it looked like they would be able to preserve the peace.
“There was already an armed conflict in Croatia, since Croatia and Slovenia declared their independence. This actually meant disintegration of Yugoslavia. The party to which I belonged was advocating the preservation of Yugoslavia, but we were no relevant political factor anymore. The parties in authority were formally cooperating and the cooperation of the SDA and HDZ in coalition was obvious. Sessions of the Parliament were difficult to hold and they were lasting for day and night,” emphasized Dodik.
“Muslims wanted to impose their will on the Serbs and Croats, and to declare independent B&H. Alija Izetbegovic violated the principle of constituent before the war and this led to the war. He also put the suspicious signature on the Dayton Agreement, because he was not the president of B&H. Alija Izetbegovic was trying to misrepresent himself. He led the nation to war and he was seeking to achieve the domination of Bosniaks in the whole country. Today, as a consequence, we have majorization of Croats in B&H and the attempt to impose that to the Serbs as well, “stated Dodik.
