TREBINJE, AUGUST 21 /SRNA/ – The referendum on the preservation of Srpska is a strong response to attempts to humiliate and trample on our people by certain foreign centers of power and their imposed official Christian Schmidt, SNSD MP in the National Assembly of Srpska Milica Ijačić told SRNA.
“No threat, nor any decision made against the will of our people, will have the power to suppress the freedom-loving will of Srpska. All those who today attack the referendum, mock it, or try to challenge it, align themselves with Schmidt and foreign interventionism, and against their own people.
Such people are mere lackeys of Sarajevo and the West, ready to declare our people incapable of deciding their own destiny. This is the deepest form of political betrayal, and the people will recognize it,” Ijačić emphasized.
She reminded that Srpska has survived many severe pressures, will survive this one too, and will emerge even stronger.
“The referendum is therefore our shield and our sword – a sign that we do not surrender and that we clearly send the message: here, only the people of Srpska express their voice and they decide. No Schmidt, no ambassadors, and no domestic lackeys will decide instead of us,” Ijačić said.
She stressed that the referendum is a response to Schmidt’s interventionism and foreign tutelage, and whoever opposes it is against Srpska and on the side of foreign masters.
“In Srpska, the people decide, not Schmidt and various little Schmidts; the institutions of Srpska are protected by the people, not foreigners, and the referendum is the word and will of the people,” Ijačić concluded.
