The President of Bosnia's Serb-dominated Republika Srpska (RS) entity, Milorad Dodik, has stated that the Serbs living in the Balkans should be united in a single state and that it is feasible to achieve this aim "by political measures and not by a war."

In his interview with the Belgrade office of Russia's Sputnik broadcaster, which is banned in the EU in a move to crack down on Russian disinformation amid Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, Dodik says that in the years to come, a new global order is going to be shaped, and the Serbs in the Balkans should take advantage of that and set up something like a Great Serbia.

“The only solution is the Republic of Srpska (that is the Bosnian Serb entity), Serbia and Serb areas, Kosovo and Metohija and of course, reclaiming Montenegro to Serbia's ethnic world where it undoubtedly belongs,” said Dodik.

He thus questions the further existence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, claiming that this country will any way disintegrate and he also insists on having Kosovo as part of Serbia.

Therefore is it important to reinforce the military, political and economic power of Serbia, Dodik said, adding that President Aleksandar Vučić is working on that cause.

“I, Vucic and Patriarch Porfirije (as the head of the Serb Orthodox Church) and many others should sit down and hold an all-Serbian assembly at which we will say that we want to be a single state as we are here a majority,” Dodik says, accusing also the West of promoting an anti-Serb sentiment.
