Konaković on the way from Dubai to Finland missed Dodik's announcement of RS secession in Washington and false claims about Muslims

(Patria) - You couldn't hear a single word about secession and nothing of what he announced, and the pictures will be useful for him to deceive people in places where elections are repeated in RS, telling them he has some great influence, said Elmedin Konaković, Minister of Foreign Affairs of BiH and an analyst of everything and anything in both his working and free time, regarding Milorad Dodik's visit to Washington.

And while he tries to minimize Dodik's meetings with congressmen and senators and other high-ranking US officials, just a few months after his sanctions were lifted, Dodik made vile accusations against Muslims in BiH for Lindell TV, owned by Mike Lindell, an ally of Donald Trump, announced the independence of the RS entity, and invited President Donald Trump to take two minutes to look at the map they brought.

Dodik had already handed over this map at a meeting with press secretary and one of President Trump's top aides, Karoline Leavitt. The meeting was also attended by member of the BiH Presidency Željka Cvijanović and acting president of RS Ana Trišić-Babić.

However, for Konaković, none of this exists, and he even praised Željka Cvijanović's meetings.

And while ideas for filing criminal charges against Milorad Dodik for false accusations and inciting national and religious hatred already exist in some circles, Konaković clearly does not see the consequences that could arise for the reputation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although he doesn't know what Cvijanović said at the meeting about security challenges, nor can he know if she mentioned Bosniaks in a negative context, the number of mosques, or Islam in BiH, the Minister of Foreign Affairs has created a picture in his head that only he sees.

Dodik reiterated his secessionist intentions for the independence of Republika Srpska for Lindell TV.

"We think that is the only fair and correct thing. They are trying to make us out to be a minority in a majority Muslim environment," said Dodik.

He added that Muslims are close to Iran, enemies of Jews, that they were on Hitler's side, and that Orthodox churches are being taken away in BiH.

Speaking about his vision for organizing relations in BiH, Dodik stated that he believes "separation" would allow for more stable functioning.

"They (Muslims) would conduct their own affairs, and we would conduct ours. We cannot conduct our own affairs like this because centralization and the minimization of our role are being imposed on us," he said.

Lindell TV published the interview with Dodik on X on February 5, so there was more than enough time for Konaković, who is present on all networks, to thoroughly analyze Dodik's announcements from Washington. Unless, of course, Konaković was on a trip from Dubai to Finland. But still. What are his advisors for, then?
