DODIK: BRITAIN SHOULD DEAL WITH ITS OWN PROBLEMS

BANJA LUKA, JUNE 11 /SRNA/ - SNSD President Milorad Dodik stated that Great Britain should deal with its own problems rather than lecturing others, and pointed out that this country continuously shows a hostile attitude towards the Serb people.

Commenting on the announced debate in the British House of Lords regarding the situation in BiH, Dodik pointed out that this debate is just an "old imperial manner" of those who, instead of dealing with their own problems, want to lecture others.

"It is an old imperial manner to think and talk about others, and not about themselves. In Belfast, we see that we have a rebellion, explosions, and riots, and they are talking to us about peace here, where there is very much peace. If you want to deal with someone else, then you first have to be perfect," stated Dodik.

Dodik said that there are no open problems or excesses in BiH, and that Republika Srpska's only demand is a return to the original Dayton Agreement.

"We want a constitutional BiH. Let them return to us the constitutional BiH that was stolen from us by their citizen Paddy Ashdown, instead of playing dumb in the House of Lords and telling us how we are some bad guys," added Dodik.

Dodik pointed out Britain's continuous hostile attitude towards the Serbian people.

"I think it should be clear that there in the House of Lords is a certain Helić /British Conservative politician from BiH Arminka Helić/ who promotes the worst possible story about us. It never had any effect, and it is not the first time this is being discussed," Dodik told ATV.

The British House of Lords is scheduled to discuss the situation in BiH today, and the published report, among other things, states that Russia continues to provide political support to the authorities of Srpska. They devoted special attention in the document to the SNSD President, claiming that his policies weaken the institutions of BiH.
