Serbs in Bosnia do not believe in good will of US, UK, says Milorad Dodik
BELGRADE, Serbia
US and British policy have turned Bosnia and Herzegovina into a cursed country, the leader of the Balkan nation’s Serb leader has said.
Milorad Dodik, president of Republika Srpska (RS), one of two entities of Bosnia and Herzegovina, told the Srna news agency on Saturday that the US and UK aimed to dissolve the RS.
“Now, they are engaged in the usurpation of RS property, and they do so not on the basis of the Constitution, but on the basis of the decision of the Constitutional Court that they created to enforce such things. Only then if we accept that the property belongs to Bosnia and Herzegovina, we will be good guys for them. We will never accept this. When they repeal our resolutions, we will make bigger decisions,” Dodik said.
According to him, the people of the Serb entity did not believe the US and UK were friendly towards them.
“The general view of the people of the Republic of Serbia is that they are not friends of the Serbian people, and we should treat them from that perspective,” Dodik asserted.
In early March, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Constitutional Court repealed a controversial immovable property law in the Republika Srpska (RS) entity.
According to Dodik, the ruling is against the entity and will not be successful.
The court’s decision came after the High Representative of Bosnia and Herzegovina suspended the law a day before it was expected to come into force on Feb. 28.
