Dodik: I am insecure, but not scared, the goal is to ban me from political activity

(Patria) - Milorad Dodik, President of Republika Srpska, held a press conference after today's hearing before the Court of BiH, where he stated that he is a citizen of RS and BiH and feels attacked.

"This is an abuse of institutions, namely the Court and the Prosecutor's Office. It is about bringing legally elected officials into a position to answer before people who were not elected in such a way, because they were chosen by foreigners. I am insecure, but not scared or indecisive. I am sure that the people around me know their job. This is against BiH. There is no chance that this will give BiH new strength, it will take strength away from it. All prosecutors and judges passed the vetting by foreigners, and only those who received a positive assessment could be appointed. RS is committed to Dayton and the BiH constitution, and that is our fault. For years, we have been blamed because we respect the BiH Constitution," said Dodik.

He added that, unfortunately, Bosniaks have accepted such a submissive policy.

"Thinking that they will get rid of competition from the Serb or Croat people in a fabricated process. In the end, it will backfire on them. We can ask what kind of prosecutor can agree to participate in a fabricated process. I want to say that the main motive is to ban my political activity. Two days ago, the Supreme Court in the USA banned courts from preventing people from participating in political processes. What now? How will you ban Dodik?" asked Dodik, wondering if the prosecutors have any dignity.

Miloš Lukić, director of the Official Gazette, said today that the defense will prove how we live in a 'schmitocracy', and that BiH is occupied by Germany. He pointed out that he does not understand whether today's witness was a witness for the prosecution or the defense.

Nenad Stevandić noted that the press conference was organized in East Sarajevo for security reasons.

You should know that the National Assembly of Republika Srpska is capable of reacting to any court decision. Let no one think they can do whatever they want. The indictment is made in such a way that they need a show, and the verdict has already been decided. This will not be accepted. Therefore, it would be wisest to stop this process, because an innocent person cannot be tried," said Stevandić.

He added that no one should think that the representatives of RS will create weapons with their own hands that will eventually backfire on them.

"No one will live to see that day, regardless of this process. This is just an alibi to render the existence of RS meaningless," said Stevandić.

Željka Cvijanović also reiterated that she believes this process has nothing to do with law.

"It is obvious that the process is accelerating. The witness confirmed it. It was requested that something be done every day. Today's witnesses are just proof that they have some witnesses, because without them there is no court process," said Cvijanović, adding that the intention is not Milorad Dodik, but the President of Republika Srpska.

Radovan Višković said that this is turning into satire and goes beyond the political context.

"BiH, as it is, does not deserve a European path. As long as one usurper, because of whom the legally elected president of RS is being tried, is not dealt with," stated Višković, adding that judge Sena Uzunović is now fighting for the 'golden lily' that she could not get in the Army of the Federation!?

We remind you that today the trial of the president of the BiH entity Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, and the acting director of the Official Gazette of RS, Miloš Lukić, who are accused of failing to implement the decisions of the High Representative in BiH, continued.

Today, it was decided that the proceedings against Dodik and Lukić would be merged again, and that Sena Uzunović would remain the judge.

The Prosecutor's Office of BiH announced four SIPA inspectors who were at the search in Banja Luka as witnesses. Thus, at today's hearing, Dragan Kremenović testified in his capacity as a SIPA inspector, regional office Banja Luka, whose testimony the defense called meaningless.
