KOŠARAC SENT SCHMIDT NAZI ARMY HELMET: NOT GIFT BUT SCHMIDT'S ANCESTORS' LEGACY

SARAJEVO, NOVEMBER 20 /SRNA/ – Council of Ministers Deputy Chair and SNSD Presidency member Staša Košarac today sent a Nazi army helmet to Christian Schmidt.

Along with the helmet, Košarac sent Schmidt a letter, which he titled "Letter to the Occupier", emphasizing, among other things, that it was not a gift but Schmidt's ancestors' legacy, whose values this "occupier" upholds. SRNA broadcasts full the letter from Staša Košarac, the deputy chair of the Council of Ministers and SNSD Presidency member: "Letter to the Occupier, To you, who are the embodiment of political evil and ill intent toward my homeland, Republika Srpska, and my proud Serb people, You will soon leave this country, to which you came as an illegal entrant without a work permit, with the intention to occupy, to enslave, to subjugate. Through your own unconstitutional and non-Dayton manipulations, you have usurped local institutions, devastated democracy, and orchestrated judicial-political persecution of the legally and legitimately elected President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik, in an attempt to weaken Republika Srpska and nullify the free will of the Serb people in BiH. It is needless to waste words on how much harm you have caused to this country and all its peoples. You will likely say, as yours once did in the Nuremberg trials, that you were "only doing your job." I would like to say: "Shame on you," but you would not understand, because you lack that sense. When you depart, take this helmet that I am sending you. Do not fool yourself; this is not my gift to you. We give gifts to dear guests. You are not one. This helmet is the legacy of your Nazi ancestors who were killing my people in the darkest period of human civilization. Perhaps you will use this helmet to complete your family collection, or even your own, since you are known as an admirer of the traditions of the Nazi army and Hitler's pilots. If in Bavaria, Westphalia, the Rhineland, or any other German region you find even a fragment of a Serb soldier's uniform, and you will not, because none exist there - feel free to return it to us. It is time for you to leave this country, where you never should have come. Without you, this country has a chance. Without you, the people of this country must decide their own fate. You and all that you represent can be summed up in one word - failure. With deep contempt, Staša Košarac".
