DODIK: WE WILL NOT ALLOW BAD PLAYERS TO OUTPLAY US

DOBOJ, AUGUST 19 /SRNA/ – President Milorad Dodik stated that Republika Srpska will not allow itself to be outplayed by bad players such as Judge Sena Uzunović, who, as a military judge during the war, did not pass judgment on those who committed crimes against Serbs, particularly the murderers of the Gavrilović family from Konjic.

Dodik asked whether Serbs should rely on such justice, reminding that Uzunović became involved in the proceedings against him after Judge Mirsad Strika withdrew from the case upon realizing that it was politically rigged.

"In BiH, there is an occupying authority that has no interest in justice but only pretends to be legal. They did not give me the mandate, they will not take it from me either, and I will continue doing my job. I have no intention of respecting that occupying force and Muslim fundamentalism, because that would mean that Republika Srpska is being humiliated. If things remain like this, it would be reduced to the will of a few judges and prosecutors who hate Srpska," Dodik told reporters in Doboj.

He observed that Republika Srpska is enduring a constant hybrid war led by foreigners, above all Christian Schmidt, while also being faced with hateful attacks by Muslims.

"They advocate the Dayton Agreement, then say it is a straitjacket, and then they blame us!? The Dayton Agreement has collapsed, it is obvious. One day someone will sound the end, and when that happens, we certainly will not remain in BiH," Dodik stressed.

He pointed out that Croatia's Foreign Minister Gordan Grlić-Radman stated that Croatia would never have signed this agreement had it known how things would turn out.

"So what are we supposed to say then? A hundred competencies have been taken from us. We will resolve all this peacefully," Dodik emphasized.

He expressed his belief that the democratic will of the people in Republika Srpska will prevail, calling on them to reject negative efforts against Srpska in referendums and to declare themselves on the status of Srpska.

"If this is the outcome they wanted – they succeeded. They will try again to problematize me, to persecute me… We shall see, maybe they had a chance last time, but this time I don’t know if they will succeed," Dodik said.

He added that he is proud of the people and structures in Republika Srpska, noting that they are not sitting idly by and that they have majorities that will prevail.
