DODIK: SRPSKA GETTING GOVERNMENT OF PATRIOTS, RESPONSIBLE AND HONOURABLE PEOPLE TONIGHT

BANJA LUKA, JANUARY 18 /SRNA/ – SNSD Leader, Milorad Dodik, says Republika Srpska is going to get tonight a Government made up of patriots, responsible and honourable people devoted to Republika Srpska.

"It will be a Government of continuity, which will continue to dedicate itself to safeguarding national interests, defending the constitutional position of Republika Srpska, the lives of all people, raising their standard of living, and advancing economic, social, cultural, educational, and all other forms of progress," Dodik posted on X.

Dodik adds that the Government will be supported by all those who want a successful and prosperous Republika Srpska, one that is a partner to everyone who respects it, but a vassal to no one.

"Against it will be those who are ready to hand it over to the Sarajevo political milieu for the sake of a ‘plate of fish.’ Such people are not the opposition to this Government; they are the opposition to Republika Srpska and their own people," Dodik said.

Dodik wished the Government, Prime Minister Savo Minić, and all ministers successful work for the overall benefit. “And oblivion awaits the Sarajevo servants,” Dodik added.

A special session of the Republika Srpska National Assembly on the election of the new Government of Srpska is currently underway in Banja Luka.
