Covic emphasizes stability and EU reforms after meeting with Dodik

Posting on social media, Covic outlined the key topics of the meeting, which focused on the current political situation, the functioning of institutions, and legislative reforms.

“Meeting with Milorad Dodik on the current political situation, the functioning of institutions, and reform laws. Peace, stability, and the integrity of Bosnia and Herzegovina must not be questioned. The current situation requires stability, joint efforts from domestic actors, and the adoption of priority EU laws,” Covic stated.

On the other hand, Milorad Dodik once again said a number of scandalous statements.

“Bosnia and Herzegovina was created based on an international agreement, but everything has since been violated. I have never bluffed. We tried to work on laws, but they didn’t want to. Everything is clear. We are waiting for the procedure to be carried out in the House of Peoples. On Wednesday, I have a major meeting in Banja Luka that will result in a new constitutional text, which will define our exact position. Anything that was imposed will no longer be valid. If someone wants to live in such a Bosnia and Herzegovina, let them, but if not, they don’t have to,” Dodik said. 

Dodik further stated that once the legislative process is complete, he will sign the new laws as the president of Republika Srpska, making them enforceable.

“After the House of Peoples, at 7 am, I will sign the laws as the RS president and they will take effect. That means that at 7 am, there will be no SIPA offices and they will no longer operate within RS territory. Their decisions will not be implemented. If anyone thinks otherwise, they can try. They are attacking the state. We see ourselves as a state. If someone else thinks otherwise, that’s their right. We see Republika Srpska as a state. We have a clear policy, and it is not directed against Croats or Bosniaks,” Dodik claimed.
