Dodik's failed 'mousetrap' in the Presidency: Nervousness grows, Russians seek answer on 2014 stance!

The nervousness of Milorad Dodik, a member of the BiH Presidency, is growing day by day. 

Fully aware that with the signing of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement we committed ourselves to following the security and foreign policy of the EU, which BiH did, Dodik left the session of the BiH Presidency in Sarajevo in a rage today, just fifteen minutes after it began, and then explained to journalists that he did so because the Chairperson Željko Komšić and the member of the BiH Presidency Šefik Džaferović rejected his request to include a discussion on the Ukrainian crisis on the agenda, in which he would demand that BiH adopt a "neutral stance" on it.

The method of work is identical to the one he implements in returning competencies to the RS entity, even though all actors voluntarily formed the BiH Agency for Medicinal Products, the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council, the state tax system...

The mousetrap in the Presidency failed. He wanted to put this item on the agenda, and then also invoke the vital interest of the RS, so that when all that reached the Constitutional Court, it would no longer be just Dodik against it, but legally speaking we would have a de facto division of Bosnia.

Literally translated, Dodik would be playing with decisions and statements in which he himself or his cadres participated, because he currently finds it difficult to explain to his financiers in Russia what happened in 2014.

At that time, a statement by the BiH Presidency was issued, in which, alongside Komšić, Bakir Izetbegović and Nebojša Radmanović (SNSD) were also seated, expressing full support for efforts aimed at overcoming the current situation and maintaining peace and necessary security regarding the then situation in Ukraine.

"The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina expresses its expectation that the resolution of the newly emerged crisis will be achieved through peaceful and democratic means, dialogue and political negotiations between all relevant parties, with the constructive support of the entire international community, based on generally accepted principles of international law. The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina provides full support for efforts aimed at overcoming the current situation and maintaining peace and necessary security. The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina calls on all parties in the dispute to refrain from the use of force and to urgently begin a political dialogue to resolve the newly emerged situation in the interest of peace, regional and global stability," states the decision of the Presidency from 2014.

Since then, there has been no official change of stance, nor is it necessary, which is why Dodik's rage is growing, because there is no way for him to explain to Putin and Lavrov why 'his' Radmanović voted for such a statement.
Bosnia and Herzegovina also joined the European Union Declaration on Crimea, which "condemns the illegitimate referendum and the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol".

Before the session, Dodik also requested a meeting with Johann Sattler, but was met with an unscheduled call, so it is clear that positions towards Dodik are changing. He also lashed out at Sattler over the congratulatory message on the occasion of BiH's Independence Day.

His act of playing the humanitarian and inviting Ukrainians to place their children in the Republika Srpska is a transparent story for the naive, and in the manner of a manipulator, he also mentions Ukrainian soldiers in the RS Army. He does not mention Russian mercenaries, because he does not need them for the purposes of this story.

And Dodik, powerless to do anything, offers the public the transcript, more precisely the monologue of his address at the Presidency session, but that means little to the Russians. They will rather seek an explanation for the game Dodik is playing, in which he has become so engrossed that even 'friends' are avoiding him.

Dodik said that today he informed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about the behaviour of the other two members of the BiH Presidency, Šefik Džaferović and Željko Komšić, and about their stance which violates the BiH Constitution. He did not speak about Radmanović's behaviour, nor did he present to the public what Lavrov told him about it!

Dodik, on slippery ground, falls into the traps he set for others!
