The President of Bosnia’s Republika Srpska (RS), Milorad Dodik, met on Friday with Serbia's outgoing Prime Minister, Milos Vucevic, in Banja Luka. Dodik described the meeting as part of ongoing discussions and emphasized the moral significance of Serbia's presence and support.

“RS is grateful to Serbia for its support of the Dayton Peace Agreement and various projects. I see that work on the Bijeljina-Raca section is intensifying, with Serbia allocating significant funds for construction. Completing this project would be a great success. A stable Serbia is in our interest because it ensures support for all our projects,” Dodik stated.

He also thanked Vucevic for attending what he called an “important football match for the entire Serbian people,” referring to FC Borac.

Dodik voiced support for the Serbian leadership under Aleksandar Vucic and criticized the ongoing protests and blockades in Serbia, arguing that they harm the country's economic and international standing.

He then addressed ongoing constitutional changes in RS, saying they would prevent blockades similar to those occurring in Serbia.

Dodik once again spoke about Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. elections and Serbia’s international position. He labeled the demonstrators in Serbia as “traitors” and echoed Vucic's statements about a “color revolution financed by foreign investments.”

He also criticized USAID and foreign financial influence in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), despite the fact that USAID has previously funded numerous projects in RS, including those for Dodik’s party, Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD).

“RS is fighting one of its decisive battles for the Dayton Agreement. The circumstances when Dayton was created were unfavorable for Serbs. The day after it was signed, efforts to dismantle it began,” Dodik asserted.

He referred to judicial reforms as “violence” and dismissed State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), the BiH Prosecutor’s Office, and the BiH Court as “artificial institutions,” despite the significant number of Serbs working within them.

Once again, Dodik urged RS-based employees of BiH judicial institutions and SIPA to report to RS authorities, promising them job security, retention of ranks, and higher salaries—framing the move as an act of “patriotism.”

“We are not engaging in anything violent,” Dodik claimed.

“We will prosecute any Serb who verbally or otherwise threatens another person simply because they belong to a different ethnic group. We do not want to see that. This is a political battle, and it belongs to politicians,” he added.

In closing, Dodik called on the people for their support.
