ZOBENICA: DODIK, IN THE NAME OF US ALL!

BANJA LUKA, MAY 13 /SRNA/ - The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik speaks on behalf of us who know that freedom has no price and cannot be sold for applause of the West or a handful of promises from Brussels, pointed out political marketing expert Aleksandar Zobenica.

Political marketing expert Aleksandar Zobenica's text for SRNA is broadcasted entirely:

"Today, Milorad Dodik does not speak only on his own behalf. He does not speak as a politician, he speaks as a president - he speaks as a Serb. As the voice of the people who does not agree to be humiliated. He speaks on behalf of us all who know what it means to have own country, freedom, religion and the people.

He speaks for us who know that freedom has no price and cannot be sold for the applause of the West or for a handful of promises from Brussels.

Today, Dodik utters words that resonate deeply in each of us: `Enough of humility. Enough of silence before injustice. We will not be trampled, we will not forget who we are.`

At a time when many choose to remain silent for the sake of a seat, he is choosing to speak. When many turn their backs on Russia, our historical and spiritual brothers, he is not ashamed to say - we love Russia, because we love freedom.

And we don't want the NATO army in our backyard, because we know very well what kind of trail a boot that trample, not bringing freedom leaves.

Dodik carries the cross of the Serb people on his shoulders - not because he has to, but because he believes. Because he knows that we are not a nation without roots. That we are a nation that knows where its holy places are - in Ostrog Monastery, in Gračanica, on Kozara, in the silence of Jasenovac.

He speaks on behalf of all of us to whom Republika Srpska is a covenant. The shrine. The house. And that is why today it is important to say it clearly: we are not with Dodik out of fear, but out of honour. We are not here for politics, but for the belief in justice and freedom.

Dodik speaks - because he knows that if we remain silent today, tomorrow we may not have the right to speak. Dodik, in the name of us all!"
