Vučić responded to Dodik: 'I'm sorry if Banja Luka feels threatened by Belgrade'

(Patria) - Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić reacted to the recent statement by Milorad Dodik, who said that Belgrade will not have a say in decisions made in that BiH entity.

- I'm sorry if Banja Luka feels threatened by Belgrade, as we have done our best to just keep quiet, listen and help, and have never interfered in anything in any way - but what can you do - Vučić said.

He says he heard the statement from Banja Luka stating that "no one from Belgrade will give orders", but he sees no problem with that.

- I have nothing against it when our people from RS give orders, I don't see any problem with that - and that's probably where we differ - Vučić said, emphasizing that Belgrade has no complexes or frustrations regarding RS.

- We are glad when people from Banja Luka, Bijeljina, Trebinje or any other place have something to tell us - Vučić stated.

He points out that he is aware that "everyone bothers you if you fight for Serbian interests".

- You have to be very weak not to be talked about - emphasized Vučić.

He also said that for him, Croatian media and politics are "the best litmus test".

- If Croats praise someone - know that they are not doing much good for the Serbian people. And if Croats attack someone - that person is always the best choice for the Serbian people and for Serbia - Vučić concluded.
