DODIK: EUROPE - EMPIRE IN DECLINE

BANJA LUKA, OCTOBER 27 /SRNA/ – President Milorad Dodik stated that Europe is an empire in decline, while persistently imposing so-called values, seeking to rule over these regions.

Dodik said that Europe still retains some traces of what was once good, but is now far from that idea. "The EU is a deception that wants to rule here. They don't come in with tanks but with so-called values. They say join us, sit there, listen, behave as we say, but you have no right to vote. They claim they'll give some money, but we can find that money anywhere," Dodik said. Dodik noted that the theory of Republika Srpska receiving approximately EUR 300 million from the EU Growth Plan under optimal circumstances is conditioned by the full implementation of their demands, 200 percent. "For example, if you want to transfer money from Belgrade to Banja Luka, it must go through intermediaries, in this case Deutsche Bank. People don't realize that. Deutsche Bank can simply decide that it's not possible. That's the way they occupy us. Not to mention SWIFT, which at any moment can cut something off. That's the global power play we must be aware of," Dodik emphasized. He stressed for RTRS that Europe was working on creating conflict between Ukraine and Russia just to gain control over energy resources, and succeeded in it. "They wanted to break up Russia and seize its natural wealth. Today, 80 percent of the uranium used for America’s strategic operations is imported from Russia," Dodik noted. He added that Europe, unless it gains control over the wealth of the Far East, will not even be the fifth world power.
