National Museum responds to Dodik's criticism and invites him to buy a copy of 'Sarajevo Haggadah - History and Art' publication

"We use this opportunity to invite Mr. M. Dodik to visit the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina so that he can see for himself the condition, care for the protection and presentation of the Sarajevo Haggadah, the Jewish, but also the cultural-historical and natural heritage of other peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, for which he expresses concern," the museum said in a response on social networks.

It also suggested that, in case Dodik decided to purchase one of the editions of the "Sarajevo Haggadah - History and Art" publications it will not direct those funds to help the people of Palestine but for the printing of the second edition of the cited publication, considering that the first one is almost sold out.

The museum also thanked Dodik for the use of the institution's full name correctly.

Dodik, who often voices support for Israel and its leadership, has recently visited Tel Aviv amidst ongoing crisis and Israel's occupation of Gaza.

On this occasion he compared Israel and Republika Srpska, the Serb-majority part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, saying that they both defend themselves "unapologetically."
