ISLAMISTS IN BiH CRIMINALIZED DODIK FOR ADVOCATING FOR SERB RIGHTS

CHICAGO, MAY 9 /SRNA/ - Islamists in power in the Federation of BiH, but also in the bodies at the BiH level, criminalized President Milorad Dodik for his advocacy for the independence of Serbian Orthodoxy and for protecting the right of Orthodox Serbs to practice their faith, said Rod Blagojevich, former governor of Illinois and close associate of US President Donald Trump.

"This is not only a problem for the US, but also for Europe and, probably, the entire world, because everything is done according to the same playbook," Blagojevich said in a video posted on X.

He congratulated Dodik on receiving the award for the courage required for leadership and commitment to national sovereignty and democratic principles, which is awarded by Judson University in the American city of Elgin.

Dodik received the award as a guest of the World Leaders' Forum "Standing Up for Democracy" on May 1 in Elgin.

The University had previously clarified that the award is given to leaders who demonstrate determination and willingness to stick to their beliefs and stand firm in defense of democratic values.
