DODIK: REPEATED BLOCKADE BEST DEMONSTRATES BiH'S ABSURDITY

BANJA LUKA, MAY 19 /SRNA/ – SNSD Leader Milorad Dodik says that the repeated blocking of the opening of the new border crossing in Gradiška best demonstrates the absurdity of BiH.

Dodik emphasized that not only Republika Srpska residents use the Gradiška border crossing, but also citizens and businesspeople from the FBiH.

"Who is blackmailing whom? If this does not suit you, then it is best that we separate, if that is the idea of Mr. /Elmedin/ Konaković," Dodik told the press in Banja Luka.

He stressed that the Gradiška border crossing is the busiest crossing point in BiH.

"Republika Srpska invested EUR 40 million to build the bridge, not counting the motorway from Banja Luka to the bridge. We waited 15 years for Croatia to resolve the infrastructure issue," Dodik said.

He emphasized that through these blockades, FBiH representatives are showing how different Republika Srpska and the FBiH are.

"This shows that we are two different worlds. We are not only politically different, but we are also in a serious civilizational misunderstanding with those from Sarajevo," Dodik concluded.
