SLOVENIA SANCTIONS DODIK UNDER BRUSSELS' ORDERS, SCHMIDT UNWELCOME GERMAN TOURIST

LJUBLJANA, NOVEMBER 16 /SRNA/ – Slovenia imposed sanctions on President Milorad Dodik on direct orders from Brussels, and this is the biggest mistake made by Slovenian Foreign and European Affairs Minister Tanja Fajon, said the leader of the Slovenian National Party, Zmago Jelinčič Plemeniti, in an interview with SRNA.

Jelinčič stated that Slovenia has no independent position of its own and simply follows commands from Brussels. He assessed the decision by Foreign and European Affairs Minister Tanja Fajon as the greatest “nonsense,” backed, he added, by EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. According to him, the Slovenian public is against the sanctions imposed on Dodik, but the media aligned with the ruling coalition present a different picture. Reminding that the United States have lifted the sanctions previously imposed on President Dodik, Jelinčič stressed that this was the correct and sensible move, as the US does not want to create problems for itself. Commenting on the court proceedings conducted against the then-President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, Jelinčič said that a guilty verdict had been expected given the state of the judicial system in BiH. “That is by no means proper, but it is hardly surprising when we consider what the BiH Constitutional Court looks like, where foreigners make decisions with the support of the Muslim representative,” Jelinčič noted, adding that this is not in line with the principles of either the UN or the EU. Jelinčič claimed that the EU aims to dismantle Republika Srpska and create a Muslim enclave from which the so-called ‘green transversal’ would extend from Albania, through Sandžak, BiH, Croatia, and Slovenia, toward the West. According to him, the EU’s greatest desire is for the Serb people to disappear — to be pushed down to the lowest level, without money, without anything, deprived of their homeland and their history. He added that Europe grew fearful when Donald Trump won the US presidential election, because the EU had been dependent on Washington and received all its directives from there.
