ALL SERBIAN SUFFERINGS WOULD BE MEANINGLESS IF SRPSKA REMAINS IN BiH

MRAKOVICA, JUNE 29 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik stated today that all Serbian sufferings would be meaningless if Srpska remains in BiH.

Dodik said preparations should be made for new gatherings, noting that one day there will be a referendum to vote on the status of Srpska, which is only possible if Republika Srpska is an independent state.

He pointed out that BiH was intended to be handed over to migrants from the Middle East and that attempts were made to weaken Srpska so it would be unable to defend itself against such an influx.

“If there is no Republika Srpska, there is no freedom, and where there is no freedom, there are no Serbs,” Dodik said in an address at a ceremony marking the 83rd anniversary of the Battle of Kozara.

He emphasized that Republika Srpska is not in question, that it lives on despite denials, and that it has never been stronger, regardless of what some malicious people say.

"Sarajevo needs to understand that it is not the destination Republika Srpska wants; the Serbian people want complete freedom — they cannot live in partial freedom," Dodik emphasized.

He also pointed out that this is a good historical moment, and that Republika Srpska has “a strong number of strong friends.”

"Republika Srpska does not believe in the Brussels narratives about a unitary BiH. We don’t need any BiH, let alone a unitary one; we need a strong Republika Srpska," Dodik stressed, adding that Serbs do not wish harm on anyone.

He also added that he wants Serbia to stabilize as soon as possible, emphasizing his support for Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, under whose leadership the motherland has invested in every municipality in Republika Srpska and advocated for it on the international stage.

"President Vučić is a great Serbian statesman and patriot," Dodik said, adding that he and Vučić have succeeded in rehabilitating the Serbian people on the international stage wherever possible.
