BOSNIAKS TO ACCEPT BiH ON THE BASIS OF AGREEMENT, TO RESPECT LEGITIMATE REPRESENTATIVES OF SERBS AND CROATS

BANJA LUKA, MAY 21 /SRNA/ - President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik told the Bosniaks to accept BiH on the basis of agreements and arrangements, to become a nation of sovereignty and not subjects.

"Accept the legitimate representatives of the Serbs and Croats elected by the will of the majority. Do not hate. Make an agreement with us and the Croats. What is very important, and keep the agreement," stressed the President of Srpska Milorad Dodik in his address to the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska, which SRNA publishes in its entirety:

"Stop slandering Serbs around the world. You will not defeat us. Respect us to allow us to respect you. Respect and accept Republika Srpska so that we can accept BiH. Give up war and revenge. We live in peace. We do not hate you, but we do not want you as our masters. It would be too much for you too. Look at what you are like to yourself.

A message to Croats in BiH. We respect you. You should respect us too. Your rights and ours. History is difficult for us and we remember evil. Nobody is glorious. We will support your goals as a constituent people and the right to constitute. The number is not important here, but the right is, and no one can take that right away from you. We Serbs will not. We will support your rights as much as ours. And all this not to the detriment of the Bosniak people.

We Serbs do not want a civil BiH that would outvote us and lead to destruction. Let's be together in the political fight so that we don't realize it's too late. We understand you, but today we invite you to reduce European speed. We should talk about our problems.

Serbs are in favor of an agreement between two entities and three peoples. We seek and expect others to respect our acquired rights. Nothing more and nothing less. We need peace among us Serbs. Let's not allow the vain brothers to be used by others to our detriment, and I urge them to drop their claims against Republika Srpska and the Serb people. We are a sovereign nation and a nation of civilizations. Our goal is Republika Srpska and we know what Republika Srpska is. Peace and agreement are important, especially for BiH."
