DODIK: I WILL NOT BEG - I WILL FIGHT

BANJA LUKA, August 6 /SRNA/ - President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik stated today that he will neither kneel nor beg, but will fight and shatter the illusion that any cooperation with the Muslims is possible.

Dodik emphasized that Muslims are pathological enemies of the Serb people. "Republika Srpska does not kneel. I will neither kneel nor crawl, but I will fight, and I believe they will have a problem with that fight. I am convinced that good times are coming for Srpska," Dodik told reporters in Banja Luka. He said that he has chosen to listen to the people, because it was the people who gave him the mandate. "They think they have won but I believe they have lost. What is truly serious is that they have violated the Constitution of Republika Srpska and the Constitution of BiH, and they want to establish a practice where our constitution and laws can simply be nullified," said Dodik. He added that the Serb people must understand that it was them who were on trial. "I am not the Serb people - but I am the President of the Republic," Dodik concluded.
