DODIK: UNITY IN AFFIRMING SERBS’ INTERESTS

BANJA LUKA, APRIL 13 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik has said today in Banja Luka, after a meeting with a delegation of entrepreneurs and Serbs active in Austria-based Serb associations and a delegation from Serbia, that unity is requested to affirm Serbs’ national interests.

"We do not want to put pressure on anyone, our goal is to connect the Serb people, a better life," Dodik emphasized.

He has stated that a conversation with friends about the state of political security, economy, investments took place today in Banja Luka.

"Republika Srpska is politically stable, with no visible challenges that could threaten it, the security situation is stable," Dodik stated.

He emphasized that the goal of Republika Srpska is to ensure respect for the letter of the Constitution in BiH, therefore Republika Srpska is strongly affirming this goal through its institutions.

According to him, it is necessary to organise associations that bring together the Serb national community in the Diaspora.

"We respect Austria, although we did not agree on some internal issues. Today we received support for our efforts to make Republika Srpska function, and Serbs will know how to support political structures in Austria, which will be increasingly recognisable in the coming period," Dodik said.

The meeting at the Palace of the Republic was also attended by the Prime Minister of Republika Srpska, Radovan Višković, and the Minister of Finance of Republika Srpska, Zora Vidović.
