Milorad Dodik, one of the members of Bosnia’s tripartite Presidency, said he will not allow the High Representative of the international community in the country to interfere with the curriculum in BiH’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity.
Dodik, who is the leader of the ruling party in the Serb-majority RS entity, said this after High Representative Christian Schmidt announced that he will take action to address the issue of children of different ethnicities being taught different facts about the past in their history textbooks.

Schmidt is the international official overseeing the civilian implementation of the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement in Bosnia and has the power to impose laws.
“Christian Schmidt will not write history for children in Republika Srpska, nor will our children learn anything that has not passed the inspection of our educational authorities,” said Dodik.
“The last time the Germans wrote history in the Balkans, which directly affected the Serbs, over a million Serbs died. Therefore, I would not advise Schmidt to play with history in Bosnia and Herzegovina,” Dodik said, referring to Schmidt’s German background.
“If history is the teacher of life, it would be appropriate for Schmidt to study the history of 80 years ago, in order to understand the history of 27 years ago. And when he understands it, he should keep it to himself!” he stressed.
