DODIK: STRENGTHEN EFFORTS TO IMPLEMENT THE LAW ON THE PROHIBITION OF ACTIVITIES OF UNCONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF BiH

BANJA LUKA, APRIL 5 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said that the efforts should be intensified to implement the laws passed by the National Assembly prohibiting the operation of unconstitutional Courts and Prosecutor's Offices of BiH, the Investigation and Protection Agency /SIPA/, and the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council in the territory of Republika Srpska.

At today's thematic session of the Republika Srpska Government, Dodik said that external factors that affect security situation are certainly far more pronounced as a problem than internal ones.

He stated that BiH is untidy, unfinished and impossible country that has been seeking the way for existence for 30 years after the Dayton.

"It did not find this because it was not aimed at making an agreement based on dialogue, at declaring the Dayton Agreement and the letter of the Dayton Agreement sacred, but rather at achieving only one thing, and that is for BiH, in addition to the international character of the state, to acquire the internal character of a state, which is not," said Dodik.

He added that internally, BiH is merely a union of states, which are de facto entities, regardless of what they call them.

Dodik stated that from Dayton until today, a toxic atmosphere and darkness have prevailed in BiH, and that it is tangible and visible almost every day, and that an active hostile mood towards Republika Srpska is being demonstrated, regardless of who is in power.

According to him, in BiH, the state of relations towards Republika Srpska at the joint level and the FBiH shows increasing elements of hostility and institutional abuse.

"I am here so that we can increase our efforts to implement the laws adopted by the National Assembly on prohibiting the activities of the BiH Court and BiH Prosecutor's Office, SIPA, the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Office of BiH in the territory of Republika Srpska, and declare these institutions and their further activities hostile to Republika Srpska in this territory, and demand that all efforts or details made against Republika Srpska and anyone in Republika Srpska be treated in accordance with these qualifications," emphasized Dodik.

He pointed out that the Deyton Agreement never envisaged that the authorities and joint institutions on the level of BiH would be superior to the Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH /FBiH/.

"FBiH accepts that, but we can't. Those should be the authorities working on behalf of both entities and not to be a cap on those two entities. We have experienced all this, the violation of Dayton, because of international interventionism and Bosniak nationalism, aimed at realizing the old cliché about Bosnia, which belongs to only one people and can only have a narrative that has such a sign that BiH is a state in which Bosniaks are the majority, and the rest are to be small minorities who will be given national rights as is the case in Europe," Dodik stated.

He said he had heard this at least 50 times from very important people in the world.

"We don't want that country. Because we say we don't want it, that's why they are pursuing us in court. That's why we are being punished," Dodik said.

He stated that he knew from the beginning that the process against him before the BiH Court was not going the way it should, but that he accepted so to show exactly that.

"Today I must say, not for me or anyone else, but for all of you who are here, who tomorrow will show any disobedience to the expectations coming from Sarajevo, that you will be subject to the courts, that the key issue is to continue this fight to the end," Dodik stressed.

He added that all efforts by international actors, especially the EU, to impose the Court and the Prosecutor's Office should be rejected.

"Republika Srpska must not accept this, because it has been shown that these institutions are exclusively politically motivated against Republika Srpska," Dodik stressed.

He said that everything has failed in BiH.

"Foreign policy has failed. The foreign policy institutions that exist there are exclusively tied to Muslim, or Bosniak, politics. And that leads nowhere. Their ambassadors only conduct their foreign policy and, as a rule, show hostility towards Republika Srpska," Dodik pointed out.
