DODIK: SDA IS INTERFERING IN THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF ANOTHER COUNTRY

BANJA LUKA, November 9 /SRNA/ - SNSD President Milorad Dodik stated that the SDA and its leader Bakir Izetbegović are interfering in the internal affairs of another country, adding that their persistence in focusing on his name and surname is astonishing.

"This is typical interference in the internal matters of a foreign country, but it holds no real significance. It is as if he was speaking about Zanzibar or some other faraway land," Dodik told SRNA.

He noted that the SDA Main Board behaves as though it were some central committee of BiH whose statements must be automatically carried out, deeming their actions outside any normal political framework.

"They believe Serbs are a lesser political people, lacking political wisdom, and that they - from their Sarajevo stronghold - are smarter and should provide guidance," Dodik said.

He stressed that Republika Srpska and the Serbian people clearly represent a problem for SDA, as they refuse to accept SDA's failed concept of a civic BiH - a concept now openly discredited even at the UN Security Council, where it was noted, including by the US representative, that the model of three constituent peoples must be respected.

"That is the collapse of the policy they advocated," Dodik stated, adding that time will show others that BiH is an impossible country and can never become a Muslim state.

He pointed out that an experiment was attempted here, which led to the current situation in BiH.

Dodik also said that SDA is trying to stage events similar to those involving Sena Uzunović, whom he called "their judge", recalling that she was previously their nominee for assistant minister of finance, and during the war, a key operative in what he called "the criminal, fascist agenda" of SDA under Alija Izetbegović and later his son Bakir.

"That is pathological hatred. They don't even like SDS or PDP, but they use them as useful idiots to achieve their goals," Dodik said.

He also noted that SDA is supporting SDS candidate Branko Blanuša, recalling Bakir Izetbegović's previous statements that SDS and PDP should be given a chance.

Dodik emphasized that all political actors should focus on what was said at the UN Security Council: that domestic political forces, if they wish, can agree on a possible functional BiH based on the original Dayton Agreement - and reiterated his readiness for dialogue.

"If they refuse, it will only confirm that BiH is not viable," Dodik said.

He commented that it would even be beneficial for the Bosniak side to create a community of their own, as it would allow them to address their internal issues more effectively.

Dodik further argued that SDA has never abandoned its ambition to impose Sharia, or the program of the Islamic Declaration, which states that wherever Muslims become a majority, they must impose Sharia law.

"That is what they are attempting in BiH," Dodik said, noting that they previously enjoyed significant support from past US administrations, which has since been lost.

He also observed that in their efforts to dismantle BiH's joint foreign policy and discredit him on the global stage, the SDA inadvertently helped internationalize the entire issue.

"We took that message seriously and began building our own foreign political contacts, and they are not insignificant," Dodik underlined.

He reiterated that the sole disruptive factor for a viable BiH is Bosniak nationalism and political Islam, which aims to claim the entire territory of BiH exclusively for itself.

"That is why Republika Srpska is an obstacle - and why they are trying to neutralize it," Dodik concluded.
