Message from the First March Coalition: Those with Dodik are not with us

The "First March" Coalition considers it shameful that some representatives of the Homeland Coalition supported the amendments to the Law on Public Order and Peace of the Republika Srpska entity, and especially the free behavior of Senad Bratić, who publicly stated that he sees nothing wrong with the Law, which the entire international community has condemned as anti-democratic, the "First March" announced, reports the Patria News Agency.

- According to our information, it should be emphasized that Edin Ramić did not vote for the Law, and that this is not the result of official policy, but the willfulness of individuals who present themselves as representatives of returnee and pro-Bosnian forces, and whose attitude damages the reputation of the Homeland Coalition and destroys the chance for unified action in the years to come, said Almir Salihović, coordinator of the "First March".

- If someone boasts about some successful amendments, let us ask them: Will these progressive amendments prevent DNS from banning gatherings in Prijedor? Will they protect us from police assaults at future protests in Banja Luka? Will they allow us peaceful gatherings at the sites of suffering in Višegrad or Kravica? No, and that is the whole truth, Salihović concluded.
