Bosnian Serb leader: “Russia confirms the intolerable pressure of the collective West on us”
Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said that the Serbian entity does not plan to secede from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
At the same time, according to him, BiH will disintegrate on its own, peacefully, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Milorad Dodik spoke at a press conference in Banja Luka in connection with the next date for the conclusion of the Dayton Peace Agreement, which ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“The Dayton Agreement is an international agreement and therefore an integral part of international law. The Republika Srpska, through Yugoslavia, signed the General Framework Agreement and all annexes, which later served the Venice Commission to establish that the Republika Srpska has an internationally recognized status as a signatory to an international treaty...
This agreement was signed by Yugoslavia, Croatia and the then non-existent BIG Republic, which was represented by Alija Izetbegovic (Bosnian Islamist leader), which had no legitimacy among either the (Bosnian) Serbs or the (Bosnian) Croats,” noted the Bosnian Serb leader.
He emphasized that Republika Srpska survived despite constant pressure.
“Today, Russia, as one of the witnesses to the initialing and signing of the Dayton Agreement, confirmed that we are talking about unbearable and anti-Dayton pressure from what we call the collective West, led by the USA and Great Britain. After Dayton, Republika Srpska did not have a single year during which it could devote itself to development and stability,” Dodik noted.
He emphasized that Bosnia and Herzegovina is in a colonial status and that the colonial administrators in Sarajevo are trying, through various machinations, to put the RS in the position of an empty application that will have no meaning. Dodik said that “the colonial administration, led by the American ambassador, uses lies” to achieve its goals, recalling that the Republika Srpska decided that its government officials will not have contact with employees of the American embassy in BiH.
“We see how the satanization of the Republika Srpska is being carried out. The entire leadership of Republika Srpska and the Serbian people are demonized to the point of persecution through various international and even local judicial institutions. During these 28 years, there was almost not a single major politician in the Republika Srpska who did not have problems with the international colonial administration.
That is why this struggle of ours is a struggle against the colonial administration,” concluded the President of Republika Srpska.
Dodik added that Republika Srpska does not plan to separate from Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Bosnia and Herzegovina itself will disintegrate peacefully.
