DODIK: REPUBLIKA SRPSKA DOES NOT WANT A FUTURE IN A COLONIAL BiH

BANJA LUKA, OCTOBER 17 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik stated that Bosniak politics has proven that BiH is a colony, not a democracy, and that Republika Srpska wants to free itself from this.

Dodik said that BiH has been externally controlled, and that Republika Srpska seeks to free itself from this in the future.

"We are pursuing a responsible policy and trying to find appropriate interlocutors and partners in the West who will listen to what Republika Srpska wants," Dodik told reporters after a meeting of the ruling coalition in Republika Srpska.

Dodik said that all the problems in BiH arose because of Christian Schmidt and because the political elite in Sarajevo did not want to hear the other side, Republika Srpska.

"They tried to impose it as an expression of their will," Dodik said.

He reiterated that it is necessary to find appropriate interlocutors to whom enough arguments should be presented to show that the coalition political parties in Republika Srpska are responsible.

"This is a team of people politically motivated to ensure stability, first and foremost of Republika Srpska," Dodik said.
