ISTOČNO SARAJEVO, APRIL 11 /SRNA/ - Aleksandar Goganović, Deputy Minister of Defense in the Council of Ministers, told SRNA that attempts by Zukan Helez to discredit Milorad Dodik through insults and inappropriate comparisons are ridiculous and unworthy of serious comment.
Commenting on Helez’s latest social media statements about Republika Srpska, Goganović said that instead of "inflammatory rhetoric," Helez should prepare for reports on new successes of Srpska on the international stage.
"I tell my colleague Helez to carefully follow in the coming days, through the media, new high-level diplomatic activities that will be carried out both in Republika Srpska and abroad, thanks to President Dodik," Goganović said in a statement for SRNA.
He added that the public is witnessing an increasingly strong international positioning of Republika Srpska, led by the strongest political party - the SNSD, headed by Dodik.
When asked to comment on Helez’s claim that “Dodik should be banned from being president of the SNSD,” Goganović stressed that political Sarajevo has tried to ban Dodik from many things, but has never succeeded in banning him from loving his people and Republika Srpska, which, he said, bothers them the most.
"Dodik remains the president of the SNSD and the leader of the Serb people," Goganović concluded.
