DODIK: BETWEEN SARAJEVO AND REPUBLIKA SRPSKA, SERBS WILL ALWAYS CHOOSE SRPSKA

BANJA LUKA, JANUARY 15 /SRNA/ – SNSD Leader Milorad Dodik says that anyone who expected Sarajevo's attempts to dominate Republika Srpska to be watched silently and with folded arms was gravely mistaken.

"Sarajevo's attempt to impose a Republika Srpska president against the will of the Serb people is just one in a series and will fail, just as all previous attempts have failed," Dodik stated. He pointed out that the SNSD was forcibly stripped of its fourth deputy in the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliamentary Assembly, but that act of force brought them nothing. "We did not allow those two from the PDP and the SDS to do anything to the detriment of Srpska. Sarajevo's desire to abolish the Serbian Orthodox Church, to take away our faith and identity, will remain nothing more than an empty, never-realized wish," Dodik emphasized. He added that the Serb BiH Presidency member, Željka Cvijanović, is not allowed to refer to institutions, which are inadequate anyway, as "joint". "The plan to have five compliant Serbs in Sarajevo and one Blanuša in Banja Luka in order to rule Republika Srpska will not come true. Between Sarajevo and Republika Srpska, Serbs will always choose Srpska, regardless of our differences," Dodik posted on X.
