SERBS MUST RESIST AS BiH COURT AND PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE ARE NOOSE AROUND SERB PEOPLE'S NECK

BANJA LUKA, JANUARY 30 /SRNA/ - SNSD leader Milorad Dodik called on the Serb people to oppose the BiH Court, pointing out that the court continues to rule against Serbs, and that it is clear the Court and Prosecutor’s Office have become a noose around the neck of Republika Srpska and the Serb people.

Dodik reminded that the court sentenced the president of the Eastern Alternative Association for putting up a banner celebrating the birthday of General Ratko Mladić, as well as Miodrag Malić, to three years in prison for raising photos of Republika Srpska's first president Radovan Karadžić and former Republika Srpska Army commander General Ratko Mladić at an opposition rally in Banja Luka. "This is dangerous. I call on all Serbs in Republika Srpska and the Federation of BiH to unite in a single defense front, which is no less significant than what we had in 1991," Dodik said at a press conference in Banja Luka. He emphasized that he wants to be part of a front fighting against all the injustices committed against him, which he also perceives as injustices done to Republika Srpska. He emphasized that the BiH Court and Prosecutor's Office are acting with the ultimate aim of stripping Republika Srpska of its property and everything that belongs to it. "When have you ever heard of the BiH Prosecutor's Office bringing a single case against anything in the Federation of BiH that is important to the economy? Every single entrepreneur in Republika Srpska has been targeted by the Prosecutor's Office. Every single company in Srpska has been brought to the brink of collapse because they are constantly under investigation by the Prosecutor's Office," Dodik said. He added that companies from the Federation of BiH, such as gas stations, are now expanding in Republika Srpska. He reiterated that the SDS remains silent on the ruling against the man who raised a photo of Ratko Mladić and Radovan Karadžić at their rally. "The new president has gotten carried away, expecting the Central Election Commission and others to rig some victory for him. Nothing will come of that victory," Dodik said. He is shocked and disappointed by the fact that the opposition in Republika Srpska understands nothing, and noted that Bakir Izetbegović publicly boasts that the most important thing is for the opposition to come to power in Srpska and reach the level of BiH, so that they can complete the concept of a "BiH state". He emphasized that the kind of BiH Izetbegović envisions will never be created.
