DODIK: REPUBLIKA SRPSKA ATTACKED BY MUSLIM NATIONALISM

BANJA LUKA, MARCH 24 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik emphasized that Republika Srpska is being attacked by Muslim nationalism, led by parties from Sarajevo.

"They want to subdue Republika Srpska and are trying to rule BiH through the judicial system. Just as they did in the past, over decades, expelling prominent Serbs through rigged judicial proceedings, they are doing the same today," said Dodik at a press conference in Banja Luka.

The difference, he emphasized, is that the highest-ranking officials of Republika Srpska are now being attacked.

"We will prove through institutional struggle that the Court and Prosecutor's Office of BiH have no constitutional basis, that there is a significant presence of criminal cartels and groups in the Prosecutor's Office of BiH, and that the prosecutors are completely under the influence of the Sarajevo criminal charshia," emphasized Dodik.

According to him, they are trying to use the judiciary to target Republika Srpska and to deliver a verdict for it in Sarajevo.

"This is the final act of operations that the Muslims have long planned in order to rule and dominate Republika Srpska and BiH. That is why it is important to be united and understand this moment," said Dodik.

Dodik emphasized that it is important to understand that Republika Srpska cannot allow itself to be condemned by Muslim judges and those Serbian judges who accept loyalty to an unconstitutional court in Sarajevo.

The President of the Republic expressed gratitude to all the people who persistently stand in defense of Republika Srpska.

Regarding the state and functioning of the institutions of BiH, Dodik pointed out that they have never been in a comfortable situation, and it is evident that there is a serious institutional crisis, in which those in Sarajevo are trying to present the opposition's participation in discussions on important topics as a major success, which should be a defeat for Srpska.

"The opposition in Republika Srpska can do as it thinks it should, but time will show that their servile behavior towards the Muslims in Sarajevo leads to betrayal, which will later be uncovered and clear to everyone," said Dodik.

Republika Srpska, Dodik added, remains firmly committed to implementing the laws passed by the National Assembly.

"I am glad that today we are passing laws that will regulate the salary system. Of the total BAM 18 billion of domestic product from last year, Republika Srpska paid more than BAM five billion for salaries and other benefits, and BAM two billion for pensions, which shows that we are very careful about preserving the standard /of living/ and the functioning of the Republic," said Dodik.
