BiH will become a member of NATO regardless of what Dodik thinks

The Party of Democratic Action (SDA) rejects with disgust the constant attacks by Milorad Dodik on Alija Izetbegović. 

- Alija Izetbegović was a proven anti-fascist and fighter for democracy who is respected by the whole world. Among other things, Alija Izetbegović is the recipient of the world's highest awards for democracy from both the East and the West. He served in partisan units and was awarded the Order of Labour in 1975.

Milorad Dodik, besides being a complete charlatan and not at all worthy of discussing Alija Izetbegović, is a proponent and promoter of neo-fascist ideology which committed mass crimes in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 90s, ultimately resulting in the only genocide in Europe after World War II.

To help himself, finally become decent and a normal person, we advise him to read the collected works of Alija Izetbegović.

As for Dodik's observations regarding NATO, BiH applied for NATO membership with the consent of everyone in BiH, and Dodik and his cadres played a leading role in this from the Republika Srpska entity.

BiH will become a member of the NATO alliance regardless of what Dodik thinks about it at this moment. It does not depend on him. 

As for a referendum on NATO, BiH does not need one, because BiH's membership in NATO guarantees security for everyone in BiH and in the region.

Any entity referendums are particularly unacceptable, because accession to NATO is a paramount state issue, and not an entity one at all - the statement reads.
