ŽUPLJANIN: NO THREATS OR GRAFFITI WILL PREVENT SERBS FROM FIRMLY DEFENDING FREEDOM AND REPUBLIKA SRPSKA

BANJA LUKA, MARCH 25 /SRNA/ - The President of the Organization of Senior Officers of the Republika Srpska Army /RSA/ Slobodan Župljanin told SRNA that the war-mongering narrative and hatred toward Serbs have been continuously propagated in BiH for over 30 years, and stressed that no threats or graffiti will prevent the Serb people from firmly defending their freedom and Republika Srpska.

Commenting on the threatening graffiti "Death to Serbs, Bosnia to Bosniaks" at the barracks in Pazarić, home to the Basic Training Center of the Armed Forces of BiH, Župljanin said that such messages toward Serbs are a daily reality; the only question is from which part or institution of BiH they come. He pointed out that this is a continuous implementation of a policy rooted in hatred toward Serbs and everything Serbian. "The war-mongering narrative and hatred toward Serbs have been carried out continuously for more than 30 years, while the political elite in Sarajevo and the structures of the international community in BiH remain silent. This is precisely what worries any normal person living in BiH," Župljanin emphasized. According to him, extremists are executing previously devised plans, with the explicit or tacit consent of political elites and government representatives. "They talk endlessly about a multiethnic BiH, yet do everything to make it monoethnic, Muslim, Islamist, and centralist," Župljanin pointed out.
