PETROVIĆ: ĆUDIĆ REVEALS TRUE FACE OF SARAJEVO

EAST SARAJEVO, JUNE 12 /SRNA/ – Sabina Ćudić has once again, for the umpteenth time, revealed the true face of political Sarajevo – a face of hatred, labeling, and deep-rooted anti-Serbian fanaticism, stated Dušan Petrović, Chief of Staff to the Serb member and Chairperson of the BiH Presidency, in a statement to SRNA.

"Her latest outburst today, one in a series, in which she calls the Serb member of the Presidency Željka Cvijanović a `psychopath` and fabricates Islamophobic statements, is not only a senseless insult but a calculated message from political Sarajevo that boils down to: all Serbs who don't kneel before Bosniaks will be labeled as evil," Petrović emphasized to SRNA when asked to comment on Ćudić's shameful media appearance today, where she made a series of accusations against Republika Srpska and insulted its officials, primarily the Serb member of the Presidency, as well as representatives of the Croat people in BiH.

"Let there be no mistake," Petrović said, "this is not just an attack on Željka Cvijanović or Milorad Dodik — it is a continuation of an anti-Serb campaign that has been ongoing for years."

"The same Sarajevo political scene that banned the European Conference of Rabbis now wants to ban the very existence of Republika Srpska. The same people who urged the EU to reject BiH over rabbis are now inventing Islamophobia to demonize every politician from Srpska who refuses to submit to them," Petrović added.

Since Ćudić also commented on the Serb member of the Presidency attending the Eid reception hosted by the head of the Islamic Community in BiH, Petrović questioned why Sabina Ćudić herself did not attend the event.

As for Ćudić's claim that the Serb member of the Presidency makes Islamophobic remarks during meetings, Petrović responded that when Željka Cvijanović speaks out against extreme and radical elements, it does not mean she is attacking believers. On the contrary, he said, she draws a clear distinction between dangerous militant groups and the vast majority of Muslim believers who are honorable and decent.

"That is why we say clearly – a BiH where Serbs are called `psychopaths` and rabbis are considered unwelcome guests is not a country of dialogue, but a caricature of democracy. Sabina Ćudić is not an isolated case; she is a symptom, a megaphone of a project in which there is no room for Serbs, their representatives, or their values."

"Milorad Dodik bothers them because they cannot control him. Željka Cvijanović bothers them because she does not obey them. Republika Srpska bothers them because it exists. That's why we are witnessing daily attempts at the political, media, and judicial liquidation of Srpska, its leaders, and anyone unwilling to sign a capitulation," Petrović stated.
