BANJA LUKA, OCTOBER 2 /SRNA/ - SNSD spokesman Radovan Kovačević said that the first elections since the Dayton Peace Accords to be held without a High Representative in BiH would take place on Sunday, October 4, describing this as a victory for Milorad Dodik and the people of Republika Srpska.


"On Sunday, our people will either confirm that victory by voting for Željka Cvijanović and Savo Minić, or, by voting for others, choose the return of High Representatives and the seizure of Republika Srpska's property," Kovačević said.


Kovačević pointed out it must never be forgotten that, at the height of their strongest attacks on Republika Srpska, Draško Stanivuković, Jelena Trivić and Marinko Božović received, hosted, met with and showed respect to Christian Schmidt and Michael Murphy, while asking them to remove Milorad Dodik against the will of the people.


"We must also not forget that Branko Blanuša promised in Sarajevo television studios that he would resolve the issue of so-called state property in the institutions of BiH, thereby directly agreeing to the seizure of Republika Srpska's property. Because we all know that whoever has control over the land registry owns the land," Kovačević posted on X.


Kovačević stressed that Republika Srpska had defeated both Schmidt and Murphy, freed itself from the shackles of sanctions, opened many doors around the world and was now only one step away from a final political, diplomatic and economic triumph.


"I am certain that our people will recognize and support this and will certainly not vote for the defeat of Republika Srpska. Long live Srpska!" Kovačević said
