DODIK: SRPSKA HAS POTENTIAL AND IS THERE FOR EVERYONE

ČELINAC, AUGUST 22 /SRNA/ — President Milorad Dodik said that the "Srpska Loves You" campaign would show that the institutions of Republika Srpska reach every person and that their goal is to ensure people live well here.

"That is why we must love the Republic, because the Republic loves its people. The authorities of Republika Srpska, my associates and I, love Republika Srpska and have been fighting for it for 20 years," Dodik said, adding that he finds fulfilment in helping people. Speaking about the "Srpska Loves You" campaign, through which the Office of the President of Republika Srpska will present the rights and measures that make up the family support system in Srpska today, Dodik stressed that much had been achieved, but that there were always those who denied it or claimed that the measures were inadequate. "However, the 'Srpska Loves You' campaign is the best way to defend ourselves against the onslaught of lies," Dodik stressed, reminding of the "Parents’ House" and "Soul of Children" Solidarity Fund projects. He stressed that Republika Srpska has potential and is stable, that salaries and pensions are paid regularly, and that there are no organized gangs capable of threatening society. "Today, by all economic indicators, Republika Srpska has the best-structured economy in the region. That is why our credit rating has also been upgraded. Some people think that this just falls from the sky," Dodik told reporters in Čelinac. He recalled that Republika Srpska can now access international financial markets and has projects worth more than BAM 7 billion underway.
