POPLAŠEN: TRIAL AGAINST DODIK AND LUKIĆ IS CARICATURE

BANJALUKA, DECEMBER 1 /SRNA/ - The trial against Republika Srpska President Milorad Dodik and the acting director of the Official Herald Miloš Lukić is most directly uttered a caricature, said the former President of Srpska Nikola Poplašen, who was once dismissed by a high representative for BiH.

Comparing the events and threats at the time with the court process against Dodik, Poplašen said there are some parallels, as well as innovations. "First of all, both then and now, it is not the competence of the high representative. It is invented. It cannot even be brought under the Bonn Powers. In the past, the high representative was appointed through certain procedure. Now we do not have a high representative. However, it is all tragicomic," said Poplašen who was a guest in the second episode of the podcast "The Border Exists", which will be broadcast tonight at 18:00. He emphasized that the Dayton Peace Agreement was set up to define the power of one protectorate. "There is no 'F' from the free life for the people living in BiH. It is a composition of mutually incompatible ideas that continues under the presence of a force that ensures the survival of that community," said Poplašen. The podcast "The Border Exists" is broadcast every Friday at 6:00 p.m. and is a continuation of the support activities for the institutions of Republika Srpska expressed through popular protests that were organized 17 times on the boundary line between Republika Srpska and the neighbouring FBiH.
