Bosnian Serb leader: SDA's declaration will lead the RS entity to secede

Bosnia's Serb Presidency member Milorad Dodik said that last week's programme declaration by the main Bosniak party is nothing but an all-Muslim declaration which will lead the secession of the country's Serb-dominated entity of Republika Srpska and its accession with Serbia.

“It's not Demicratic Action Party's (SDA) declaration, but a Muslim declaration. All the political parties, NGOs and associations supporting it want the RS to disappear. If someone thinks that the RS should not exist, then its completely logical that the RS should build its own pats. The only possible parth is to declare independence and unification with with Serbia,” Dodik told the Serbian Prva TV.

He said that war is not possible in Bosnia, but that a decision on Republika Srpska's independence is.

During the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia, he said, “NATO had aligned itself with the Muslim side and had it not been for their intervention one could only guess what the situation would have been today.”

“Had it not been for NATO's pressure and bombardment, the RS would have been an independent state by now,” Dodik noted, adding that “NATO had bombarded the Serb people twice.”

He reiterated that joining the Alliance is not an option for the RS, but he would not exclude the possibility of cooperation with them.
