BANJA LUKA, OCTOBER 6 /SRNA/ – The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik said that the political Muslim establishment is the only true enemy of the Serb people and stressed that he is highly motivated to continue his struggle against the injustices done to him and Republika Srpska.

Dodik has emphasized that he respects Bosniak Muslims, has friends whom he visits during holidays and who visit him for Serbian celebrations, but does not wish to publicly highlight them.

“Here I am speaking about political Sarajevo, the political Muslim establishment. They are the enemies of the Serb people. They are the only true, real enemies of the Serb people,” Dodik said at a press conference in Banja Luka.

He reminded that BiH Court judge Sena Uzunović is part of this establishment, noting that she was a military judge and did not convict the killers of six- and seven-year-old children Petar and Pavle.

“She acquitted those people and considered it honorable, yet she is now judging Milorad Dodik for not respecting Christian Schmidt,” Dodik added.

He stressed that he will not stop fighting against this, but noted that defending claims in global forums about court rulings—no matter how flawed, illegal, or unconstitutional—has become very difficult.

“I do not want these pseudo-lawyer Muslims in Sarajevo to drag me through the mud of the court again and politically eliminate me,” he said, reiterating that he will continue the fight.

Dodik, who is also leader of the SNSD, said that Siniša Karan, the ruling coalition’s candidate for the president of Republika Srpska, is a serious man determined not to allow any harm to Srpska.

“He and I are aligned. The same me in my way, and him in his. Now they are attacking him too. They are targeting him in the media from the FBiH, trying to spin narratives about everything,” Dodik said.

He criticized Republika Srpska’s media landscape, describing it as dominated by coverage that misrepresents information from Sarajevo and pushes it as a narrative.

He reiterated that the ruling coalition seeks stability and does not want to appear foolish or naïve.

Regarding SDS presidential candidate Branko Blanuša, Dodik said he is brave for being nominated but questioned his ability to resolve issues given his lack of involvement in ongoing processes.

"That’s why it was intended for him to be a nuisance and part of the chaos, not part of the solution—what can he actually resolve, and how would he resolve it?" Dodik asked.

Dodik says this is his mandate. "I see this as a small redistribution of authority to Siniša Karan. Nothing more,” Dodik added.

He explained that he will continue representing Republika Srpska and expressed pride that Serbia, the Russian Federation, Hungary, many political parties across Europe, and a significant number of members of the new U.S. administration still recognize him as president of Republika Srpska.

Dodik pointed out that no one is without fault and that mistakes have been made, and he asked who built the 'Viaduct' and issued that permit.

“Was it any of these people here? No. Did I issue it? No. Who did? The SDS did. The PDP did. So what do you want from us now? Now that there are consequences, are we the ones to blame for the consequences?” Dodik said.

According to him, lies are constantly being “pushed forward” by a few opposition figures who poison the internal life and give opportunities to traditional enemies.
