Response to Dodik: Bosnia exists and will exist, starting in 2026 we begin the project of dissolving Republika Srpska and FBiH

By: Rasim Belko

Milorad Dodik continues to implement an agenda with a single goal - to realize the projects of SANU and thus achieve the dream of a Serb world as a Greater Serbia where the largest number of Serbs in the Balkans would live. Bosnia and Herzegovina stands in their way, and that is why they use the denial and belittling of the internationally recognized state, with clearly defined borders and constitutional-political structure, as a key mechanism for opening the door to the Serb world.

And the SANU memoranda precisely ordered such actions by Serb politicians, which should result in the acceptance of the narrative that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a complex and unsustainable state community.

This is also the target of the latest propaganda statement by the SNSD leader when he says that Bosnia and Herzegovina is living on borrowed time and that: “BiH was only formed in Dayton, consisting of two entities and Brčko District as co-ownership of these two entities. Neither Republika Srpska nor the Federation of BiH were established in Dayton, because they existed before as a political and legal fact, with sovereign power on their territory, and were recognized by the international community. "Bosnia and Herzegovina" did not exist, so it was only established in Dayton as a state composed of state-forming entities through an international agreement”.

Many Sarajevo ideologues of ignorance and the principle of ignoring Dodik would say that this should also be let go. But Dodik and his entourage have shown that they will not get tired, and especially will not stop continuously repeating the impossibility of Bosnia and Herzegovina's survival, as a supposed state assembled by entities through a peace agreement.

Nonsense, but dangerous, because Serb propaganda works in two directions - first, it pushes Bosniaks and all those who love Bosnia and Herzegovina into frustration because they are powerless to respond more aggressively to Dodik's separatism due to international presence, and second - towards the international community, which will surely get tired one day and, with a little lobbying, agree to the partition of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Therefore, it is necessary to continuously respond to both Dodik and the academic factory of evil from Belgrade, but also to find a way to stop them and finally break them in every attempt to realize the SANU plans.

So, it is time for political elites, in whom patriotism and love for the homeland have survived at least in traces, to start presenting proposals that would somehow be a counter-strike to Dodik's secessionism and denial of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Because, just like the wartime leadership, mostly convicted of a wide range of crimes, the peacetime administration in 49 percent of the occupied BiH territory also fears a response that has the power to threaten the 49 percent entity.

And the response that Dodik would certainly pause at is the proposal to abolish the entities. But not the populist one that gets lost in media archives within a week. The proposal to abolish entities must have a head - leaders of all political parties who dare to engage in it, academics who are not afraid of criticism, the diaspora… And yes, for the attempt to abolish the entities of Rs and FBiH to have a chance, the work on the project would be free for everyone, because otherwise, political bastards who have been living off such ideas for too long easily breed.

It is strange that no one has sincerely pursued this idea so far, given the fact that Milorad Dodik abolished the jurisdiction of the Constitutional Court in 49 percent of the occupied territory.

Because Dodik's distortion of facts has produced a narrative in which people are starting to believe that the entities signed Bosnia and Herzegovina. And the signing of Dayton, which Dodik refers to, actually saved Karadžić's entity from complete disappearance during the liberation offensive of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Historically speaking, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as an internationally recognized and sovereign state, has the right to initiate internal and external discussions about its restructuring, and it is obligated to do so for future political generations who want this to one day be a normally organized, European state. With the current structure and separatists at the head of its real and virtual entities, its collapse is more likely than its survival.

Dissolving entities carries many risks, but overcoming them means unleashing absolute potential for Euro-Atlantic integration, which would surely bring a better life to citizens.

Whoever does not try, will certainly not succeed. And we have not seen attempts so far, so the failure of the pro-Bosnian so-called pro-state political bloc to respond to Dodik is completely clear.

Once we put the agenda of internal restructuring of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the table, we will open the way for the final defense of our country, strengthening peace, stability, and democracy. Until then, written responses to Dodik's secessionism are meaningless, because whether Dodik or someone else leads it, it will not be stopped if the basis for secessionist policy is not removed. And an entity almost completely ethnically cleansed of non-Serb population, with special and parallel ties to Serbia and the SANU agenda, which clearly moves towards the creation of a Serb world, can very easily become a Serbian province one day.

When we combine the boldness of Nanić, the determination of Alagić, and the penetration of Dudaković in pro-Bosnian politics, we will have the opportunity to realize the dream of all those who defended this country with their lives.

It is up to us to try, perhaps starting in 2026 with new structures, and an attempt is half the success!
