WITH TESLIĆ RESIDENTS ON ATTACKS AND ATTEMPTS TO DESTABILIZE SRPSKA

TESLIĆ, NOVEMBER 9 /SRNA/ – SNSD Leader, Milorad Dodik, says that today, together with his associates, he informed Teslić residents about the efforts of official Sarajevo and Christian Schmidt to undermine and destabilize Republika Srpska.

Dodik stressed that he was pleased to have the opportunity to speak directly with residents and help them better understand the current situation, believing that things are now clearer to them. As for property issue and the legislative proposal coming from Bosniak representatives, Dodik said that the SNSD has eight members in the House of Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of BiH who will vote against it, and that Darko Babalj from the SDS should be the ninth, encouraging him to find one more to make ten. “There is no property topic,” Dodik emphasized. The head of the SNSD Caucus in the House of Representatives of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly, Sanja Vulić, reminded that the Party for BiH submitted an identical draft law to the parliamentary procedure back in 2008, and that in 2009 ten Serb representatives voted against it. “We’ve already settled the issue of property, and there’s nothing left to discuss; the only what we need now is the unity of Serbs. There are eight of us, so we need to see the responsible Serbs from the SDS and PDP will join us to block it,” Vulić said. She added that the proposal should not even appear on the agenda, but if it does through the decision of Advisory Board Members, it is crucial that ten Serb representatives vote against it so that Republika Srpska remains calm and stable. He stressed they wanted to use today’s meeting to demonstrate their readiness to clearify all citizens’ dilemmas. Professor of constitutional law Siniša Karan expressed optimism over Teslić residents understanding what is happening, emphasizing that they love Republika Srpska and recognize that it is under attack. “They recognized Schmidt’s attack, his attempt to destroy their Republika Srpska, the one for which 550 people from this area gave their lives,” Karan said. He added that this represents an affirmation of their policies, which are the same as those of the Serb people.
