THE ONLY SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION IS FOR REPUBLIKA SRPSKA, FEDERATION, OR BOSNIA AND HERZEG-BOSNA TO EXIST IN BiH

BANJA LUKA, April 30 (SRNA) – The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik stated this evening that the only realistic and sustainable outcome in the long term is for BiH to cease to exist as a political factor, and for its territory to be divided into Republika Srpska, the Federation (or Bosnia, encompassing Muslims), and Hezceg-Bosnia, encompassing Croats.

"This is the only reality in which we should agree to coexist without interfering with one another and to mutually recognize each other. That is the way to achieve long-term peace. Everything else leads to future disputes," Dodik told ATV. He said that the Dayton Agreement will not be revised, but will instead collapse — though it could have had a chance if it had been respected, which it was not. "The Muslims have completely dismantled it. They never adopted it, while Republika Srpska did — through its parliament," said Dodik. He recalled that the Bosniaks referred to the Dayton Peace Agreement as a "strait jacket" ten years ago and that they are now the ones speaking about war — not the Serbs.
