TIME HAS COME FOR SRPSKA TO INTERNATIONALIZE THE SERB ISSUE

ELGRADE, MARCH 31 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska Senator Bogdana Koljević says the time has come for Srpska to internationalize the Serb issue and draw a future that preserves all the best traditions of the past.

Koljević assesses the time has come to boldly and decisively move towards a new agreement based on the situation on the ground.

In a written statement to SRNA, she indicates that in a time of global tectonic upheavals, it is necessary to politically review in what sense reality has already surpassed theory.

"Notably, it seems, the Federation of BiH /FBiH/ has decided to destroy every legal basis for the existence of BiH, therefore BiH itself," emphasized Koljević, who is a political philosopher.

She points out that the adoption of the new Republika Srpska Constitution appears as another extremely prudent attempt to restore the original Dayton Peace Agreement, which fully takes into account all the constellations of changes in the modern world, and indicates that Srpska should chart its own path for the 21st century in terms of foreign policy as well.

Koljević notes that today, the USA and Russia are leading world powers that establish cooperation on equal principles of sovereignty and the interests of the people, while respecting traditional values.

According to her, the EU is in a phase of galloping decline, trapped in the past world, therefore an increasingly less relevant player.

"In the coming period, Republika Srpska should advocate for dialogue with everyone who is structurally close to it and initiate new agreements and social contracts, pointing out all the retrograde elements and factors in this process," Koljević says.

She mentioned that Republika Srpska constantly called for an internal dialogue in BiH, but the other party showed no will for it.

Koljević reminds that since the signing of the Dayton Peace Agreement until today, the Serbs in Republika Srpska have tried in all political ways to revive, consolidate and defend the letter of the Dayton.

She has emphasized the Serbs sincerely believed that, with all the complexity and intentional vagueness of this internationally ratified treaty, it was possible to build relations based on mutual respect and equality, i.e. on the basis of the equality of two entities and three constituent peoples.

However, she points out, the will of one party cannot be sufficient for the building and stability of any community, while the opposite is the case with dismantling.

"Thus, we are witnessing the most brutal efforts to completely destroy the Dayton by the FBiH and official Sarajevo, and to politically eliminate the leadership of Republika Srpska, to destroy Serb statehood from the west bank of the Drina," Koljević emphasized.

It goes without saying, she notes, that this hybrid project has the support of the liberal, i.e. the globalist elites who have now mostly found their refuge in Brussels-based Europe and where a good number of them from the USA have settled.

"The Dayton Peace Agreement brought an end to the war for the Serbs, it brought peace, and based on it, we preserved the name of Republika Srpska with all its competences and sovereignty. That must never be forgotten," emphasized Koljević.

Just like the fact that the Serbs, she added, only wanted the Dayton to be respected and to establish a peaceful life and cooperation, demonstrating their authentically democratic and pluralistic character and direction.

"That's how we spent three decades in noble efforts to revive an idea that is both Serb and democratic - and may it be to our honour," Koljević emphasized.

That's why, she says, the Dayton-based BiH for the Serbs was not wasted time, because the Serbs’ faith in it reflected all the most beautiful qualities of the Serb people, their original openness and faith in justice - the faith of a people who never wanted anything from someone else, but understood that they had to preserve their own.

"And that's the Dayton for us," said Koljević.
