IZETBEGOVIĆ IS UNCONVICTED WAR CRIMINAL FOLLOWED BY BOSNIAK REPRESENTATIVES

EAST SARAJEVO, OCTOBER 16 /SRNA/ - Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik says the former Bosniak leader in BiH Alija Izetbegović is an unconvicted war criminal whose legacy all political representatives of Bosniaks in BiH follow, i.s.s they do not accept the Dayton-based Bih with the rights the peoples and entities are entitled to.

"Alija Izetbegović is an unconvicted war criminal, which is evident. The than prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal, Carla del Ponte, said that his death prevented him from standing trial," Dodik told SRNA and RTRS. Stating that the FBiH wants to suppress this, Dodik said its desire to declare their war criminals heroes, not only for their own people, but for all the peoples, proves it. Dodik reminded that Izetbegović was a member of the Handschar Division in World War II, which is known for slaughtering and killing all the Serbs it encountered, and served his imprisonment sentence in the former Yugoslavia for the Young Muslims radical ideology. Emphasizing that he is not surprised, Dodik said that the public should be surprised by the fact that the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Council of Ministers, Elmedin Konaković, although elected on behalf of BiH, proved he is only a Muslim staff promoting the ideology of Alija Izetbegović. "Izetbegović's ideology was accepted by everyone, regardless of whether it was the SDP, the SDA as his original party, the Party for BiH or one of Konaković or Forto's parties. This shows that we were always right," emphasized Dodik. He added that they, using the spin created picturing Alija Izetbegović is uniting BiH, are constantly trying to maintain an unsustainable concept. He pointed out that Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić are undoubtedly a part of history, which no one can avoid. "The history of peoples is unavoidable, there is no doubt that Izetbegović had an influence on historical events, the constitution of the Muslim, i.e. Bosniak people, there is no doubt that Karadžić and Mladić had a historica, which cannot be erased," the Srpska president explained. He added that they could comment on someone being convicted or not, but historically, Alija Izetbegović was the leader of the Muslims, Bosniak people since 1993, just as it is historically indisputable that Karadžić was the leader of the Serbpeople and Mladić was the commander of the army. Dodik states the standards must exist and historical standards are inexorable. "According to their standards, we should put in our textbooks that Alija Izetbegović was a peacemaker, the one who wanted good for everyone, but he expelled 156,000 Serbs from Sarajevo, that Srebrenica was what they want to say, to destroy every Serb concept, including history," pointed out Dodik. Dodik also reminded that Alija Izetbegović is the man who said he would sacrifice peace for alleged independence of BiH. "We saw where it led; when we say that we will not sacrifice peace even for the independence of Republika Srpska, they impose sanctions on us," said the president of Srpska. When it comes to allegations that Alija Izetbegović is the "father of the nation", Dodik said that he can be the one for Muslims and those who followed the ideas of Young Muslims expressed in his book on the Islamic declaration. "All of that is true, all of these are stories, but what is visible is that almost everyone in the Federation, regardless of which political spectrum they are on, is trying to defend the crime done by Alija Izetbegović," said Dodik. According to him, Izetbegović did not succeed in anything except that destroying BiH, separating it without the decision of other peoples, dividing it and then trying to be a party that would unite it. "It's all a false narrative, just like their false narrative about Christian Schmidt, who is not legal, is completely irrational, was not elected in accordance with Annex 10, and is using force on Republika Srpska, on all of us," said Dodik. He added that now when someone hurts their false frame about Alija Izetbegović, they want to make him a miracle of peace, even though he is an undoubted war criminal. Dodik pointed out that Muslim directors at the level of joint institutions in BiH are trying to take away the competences of the entities by adapting the regulations outside the law. "This shows that their intent is a roguish for everyone in BiH. They cannot give up what Alija bequeathed to them, which is impossibility to accept the Dayton-based BiH with the rights that peoples and entities have, but they are persistently trying to destroy it," emphasized Dodik. Dodik stated that there is no difference between what the former Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Council of Ministers Bisera Turković did and what Konaković is doing now. "He will always try to make it one, as they call it, a link of fraud, which goes to the effect that all my criminals are heroes what you are not allowed to talk about," added Dodik. He pointed out that the Serbs are not trying to influence how they write history textbooks, and expressed regret for the Serb children who study that history. "In any case, it's all an unnecessary chase and it has brought old topics back to the political scene in BiH, quite painful," concluded Dodik. Commenting on the protest announced for tomorrow outside the OHR building by the so-called of pro-Bosnian forces, Dodik said that he would probably have been at that gathering if it had not been announced as a gathering of pro-Bosnian forces.
