SUCH EUROPE HAS NO FUTURE, AND IT WILL HARDLY BE ABLE TO SAVE ITSELF

MOSCOW, APRIL 10 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik said that today's Europe has lost all of its values, has no future, and will hardly be able to save itself with the current elite.

He said that Europe, which once liked to promote the concept of European values, has now lost them.

"If it wants to obstruct democracy, rig elections, abuse justice, and is ready to send us a foreigner who has not been appointed by anyone and who has no proper backing, then such a Europe has no future," Dodik said in an interview with TASS.

He reiterated that Europe has no leader and that the heads of individual countries are struggling just to govern their own states.

"No one has stepped up as a true leader in this situation. There are expectations that the new German Chancellor might take on that role, but Germany is facing many problems and would hardly be able to focus solely on European issues," Dodik said.

According to him, Europe lacks all the raw materials necessary for its industry.

"It is obvious that Europe has lost its competitiveness. Once competitiveness is lost, so are innovations. Europe is no longer the center of industrial and technological innovation," Dodik said.

He emphasized that the EU has neither a legal basis nor the moral right to approve his arrest.

"Brussels is too deeply involved in the instability and lawlessness in BiH, and this has already crossed all reasonable boundaries," Dodik said.

He reminded of previous plans to appeal to Moscow to raise the issue of halting the EU military operation in BiH due to the violation of its mandate in the UN Security Council, explaining how they stubbornly try to preserve structures that are allegedly focused on peace.

Dodik expressed hope that "those responsible will remain faithful to the mandate assigned to them by the Security Council without exceeding its boundaries".

"That mandate does not foresee arrests," Dodik concluded.
