THIS IS NOT THE TERRITORY UNDER BiH AUTHORITY

EAST SARAJEVO, April 23 /SRNA/ – "This is not a territory under the authority of BiH," stated Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik following a meeting in East Sarajevo, where members of SIPA appeared this evening.

Dodik said that the presence of SIPA officers in front of the Srpska headquarters in East Sarajevo this evening was a violation of the laws of Republika Srpska. "This is not a territory governed by BiH; it is not a country in which we feel safe," Dodik said after a meeting with East Sarajevo Mayor Ljubiša Ćosić and the heads of the municipalities that make up this city. He emphasized that he is fine, healthy, and has no intention of leaving the building under pressure. "They are not an agency backed by Republika Srpska," Dodik stated, adding that the brother of the wartime AID chief was present tonight and trying to provoke something. He stressed that they would try to show Christian Schmidt how laws are enforced and that they would devise a response in the coming days, as he is falsely presenting himself. Dodik reminded that 49 percent of the territory belongs to Republika Srpska, and claimed that SIPA represents a "Muslim den from the Sarajevo valley."
